That Poetry Bloke

On Thursday 28th April we welcomed David Bradley aka 'That Poetry Bloke' into school for a hysterical whole school assembly followed by year group workshops. The staff and children were all highly entertained and inspired and we're sure they have some great stories, poems and songs to tell!

Gymnastics success

We were exceptionally proud of our Year 2 gymnasts this week when they took part in the Derby City SSP inter schools gym competition at Mickleover Gymnastics Club, where they walked away with first place. Special congratulations also go to Antonio for her individual silver. Well done girls Mrs Brundish and the rest of the school are very proud of you!

Year 6 hoodies

You can alway tell when we are in the summer term as our Year 6 pupils get very excited about the arrival of their 'Leavers' Hoodies'. This year we have seen another great mix of colours! Don't they look great?

Happy 90th Birthday HRH Queen Elizabeth II

The hall was a sea of red, white and blue today, as staff and pupils celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday. Visit our twitter feed to hear us sing her happy birthday!

Space Buggies in Year 2

Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that were able to come to our open afternoon to support the Kestrels and Peregrines with their exciting task of finishing their space buggies.  There was plenty of glue, tape and foil involved, but the afternoon was packed with fun and smiles.

Beat feet!

On Tuesday 19th April, Jude from Beatfeet came in Silverhill to do a drumming workshop with Year 3 and Foundation stage. The children were playing on African drums called Djembe and exploring rhythms, dynamics, tempo and song. It was a wonderful experience and the children all really enjoyed their day. 

The Big Pedal

This year we are registered to take part in The Big Pedal so for the next two weeks we are asking all our pupils to take to two wheels (much better than 4!) to get themselves to and from school. Whether it's bike or a scooter, it will help you get fit and active, help to save the environment and all journeys on a bike or scooter by a child, sibling or parent count towards our Big Pedal total so, come on everyone - on your bike!
