Harvest Thank You?

Thank you to everyone who brought in items for our Harvest Collection. We had a fantastic response to having a non uniform day and bringing in an item for Harvest to be delivered to our Community. Pupils delivered some bags today and were greatly received. We will deliver lots more after the holiday. If you would like to nominate someone to receive a Harvest bag please contact the school after our holiday. 

Mrs Easter, Mrs Saxelby and Mr Swan delivered boxes to the local Foodbank. Miss Cook and Mrs Mills and pupils delivered bags of cupcakes to Crossgates Care Home and these were very well received by the residents.  ??

 

Harvest Assembly : World Porridge Day

We celebrated World Porridge Day at our assemblies. We asked for “loose change” – a huge thank you to everyone who donated- we have a fantastic amount of £185.  We offered pupils a taste of Heather’s porridge and showed the film from Mary’s Meals: What a Difference a Meal Makes. We can feed a child in Malawi at school for £9.80 a year. We will be able to feed many children. Thank you.

Hello,

Our DFS school mascot is Dom the DFS Diamond. Keep an eye out for him around the school!

Four of our good friends have made a movie called DFS A Wider World using  IMovie trailer. You will be able to check it out at a later date by scanning a QR code.
