Summer Fayre
helps hit the target
The Sports Days certainly had a mix of weather to contend with—from the heat on the Monday for the Juniors; to the 90 minutes of drizzle for Key
Stage One, it was a real mixed bag! Nothing phased our children though — an odd
tumble on the new track didn't deter anyone in their determination to score points for their house
team. The Junior sports hasn’t seen a ‘tie’ for a decade…
until Monday when the Blues and Greens came out on 802 points each— It made the final
Tug o’ War a really epic battle !!! Klara, the 10 foot character from Education City, was on hand to present the prizes to the winning
house in Key Stage 1. The Yellows were clear winners with 795 points—well done!
Our Early Years’ Sports’ Days are all-action competitions with the children being kept busy
throughout the event. We do not award an outright winner.
Thank you to all the parents who came to watch, it really makes a difference and creates a real-life feel to the sports meeting. Lovely comments were passed on to staff about the competition, the new facilities and how it was great to see that a bit of
rain didn’t put us off !!
Competitive Sports’
Days hit the new
track
The PTFA held their Summer
Fayre last Friday and were
delighted with the turn out from
our families. Thanks to all who donated items for the Fayre.
Major thanks for those parents, Y5 children & staff who manned the stalls.
Their combined efforts created a wonderful fayre for all to enjoy. The fundraising was also impressive,
with just under £1500 being raised on the day. There was no rest for the PTFA as they were run-
ning the Cafes at the Sports Days this week. With the takings from the cafes, the PTFA have reached their 2 year target for the all-weather
pitch & track… £25,000 in two years—what an
effort
THANK YOU !!!
