Children in Nursery and Reception enjoyed a visit from Mrs Farraday’s guide dog puppy Eva this week. She received lots of attention from all the children and staff and explored the smells, sights and sounds of the classroom. Reception are looking forward to reading to her next week!
This week our intrepid x-country runners braved freezing temperatures and a very challenging terrain to compete in the schools cross country event at Casterton. After several weeks of attending our Friday running club in preparation and a warm-up event at Dallam School, 10 runners decided to brave the elements to go for gold again.
The photos clearly show their determination, focus and stamina as they raced against over 80 other competitors in each event. All of our children were overjoyed to share their achievements in our Celebration Assembly this morning and were suitably congratulated by the whole school who were in awe of their courage and resilience. Two children have also qualified for the county finals coming up later this month.
Thanks to all the family members who supported us with getting the children to the event AND for all the encouragement cheering them along the way on the side lines.
