Today the children all celebrated World Mental Health Day. Pupils thought about what makes them happy and discussed what mental health is. Some pupils took part in a mental health assembly. Thank you to parents for supporting the day with yellow outfots.
Today the school celebrated Harvest Festival. We had many very generous donations of food for the local food bank from our parents. The Vicar, James Cartwright, from the Generations Church on the Willows estate, came to visit the school and watched our Year 6 children lead the celebration and speak to the school about what harvest means. The children learnt about the importance of the potato and each child was even given a packet of crisps! Thank you to Mrs Brown and the year 6 children for organising the celebration.
Today we have celebrated National Poetry Day with many of the children learning and reciting poems. Please watch the videos on Twitter.

On Tuesday 17th September, the Year 5 and 6 boys football team demonstrated their impressive skills in the Grimsby and Cleethorpes District ESFA tournament. They played 6 matches against schools from all over Grimsby and came second overall. We have qualified for the Humberside Tournament in Hull in November and the Ramsden Cup in March. The tournament was well supported with parents and the boys were models of sportsmanship. Mr Baxter coached the team on the night and was extremely proud of the team.
On Friday May 24th, all the pupils took part in an Olympics Day.
Each class learnt about a different Olympic sport and shared what they had learnt in an assembly, in the afternoon. We had impressive displays of karate, break dancing and rhythmic gymnastics and lots of other work based around many sports. The children learnt so much about Olympic Sports in one day.

The whole school also took part in a sponsored fitness challenge, run by double Commonwealth Gold medalist and Olympic Coach, Leon Baptiste. Leon also gave an inspirational assembly to the school telling us about his highs and lows in Athletics.
The total sponsor money raised was £1969.60, with £1178 going to Sports for Champions and £791.60 going to the school. We will be using the funds for playground equipment and other enrichment activities in school.
We would like to say a massive “Thank you,” to all of the pupils, parents and their family and friends for supporting the school with the fundraising.
