Due to the success of the last few years it has been decided to run Sports Day in a similar way this year.
The day will be split into 2 halves as follows:
Morning - Y1 - Y5 only - ALL activities will begin at 9.15am and finish at approx. 10.30am - these will be a demonstration of some of the sports our children have been experiencing this year. You are welcome to come and watch your child then choose to go to a different activity.
If you have children in Y1 or Y2 we would advise you come and watch them first as this will probably be the first activity to finish.
Hall - Y1 Dance followed by Y2 Gymnastics
Muga - Y5 Netball
Yard - Y3 Tennis
Field - Y4 Cricket
Y6 - Umpires and Officials - The Y6 Sports Leaders will be taking on the role of umpires/officials as part of their Sports Leaders duties while other Y6 children will be available to show parents where their children are performing.
Afternoon - Reception - Year 6 - 12.45pm - 3.15pm (approx.)
As usual there will be a carousel of activities and parents are invited to follow their child from one activity to another.
The last event will again be a competitive 60M race for all classes - the whole school and all parents can watch.
This will result in the top 3 of each final race being presented with a GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE medal.
Our fantastic football team won both their league matches last week. We won our first game 1-0 and the second 3-0! WELL DONE!
Over the past few days there has been a lot of media coverage about the risks of using the social media apps musically and lively. Please check if your child is using these apps as there have been reports of explicit content and children at risk of grooming.

Scholastic Book Fair will be held in School next week and will be open each afternoon in the hall from 3.15pm-4.00pm. There will also be a selection available for parents of morning Nursery to view each day at midday in the EYFS unit.
Please do come along and browse the selection with your children - there are some fantastic books to choose from and your support would be greatly appreciated.
Please note this year we will be accepting cash sales only and we are unable to put books aside for anyone.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Please remember that our Safety Fair will be held in the school hall tomorrow from 2-3pm.
The children have been learning about safety issues all week in school and this event will help to reinforce the subject, with exhibits and stalls representing our Police Service, Road Safety, Fire Safety, First Aid, E-Safety, Healthy Eating and Durham County Council Cold Water Shock campaign.
Please do come along and support this event.
Keeping children safe......... we're in it together!
