7 Comments

Well done to all of the competitors from p3-7 (and yesterday’s P1 and P2 potted sports) and a huge thank you to all of the family members who came along to cheer us all on.

Beautiful sunshine, 39 races, 370 pupils, 200 parents, hurdles, batons, everyone wearing their nations’ colours, team flags and posters, a torch relay, great music and scooters made into horses (!)          = one great day.

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Here are the final results:

Kenya – 555

Team GB – 545

Australia – 525

USA – 340

With rain forecast for Thursday we’ve decided to move both sports day events to Wednesday.  P3-4 at 9.30 and P5-7 at 1.30pm.

Remember if you are in Kenya wear green, Great Britain wear blue, USA wear white and Australia wear yellow.

Events include 8x72m relay, the 72m hurdles and the much anticipated equestrian event!

Can’t wait.

“The Euro 2012 football championships is underway in Poland and Ukraine and I’m enjoying watching lots of games.  The question is what are the two capital cities of Poland and Ukraine.”

Diamond Jubilee Blog Reward

6 Comments

I hope everyone is enjoying their Jubilee extended weekend.   Here we go with another blog reward.  This time there is no secret word but a  question to answer.  The first person to either say the answer to me in person tomorrow or post a comment on this blog post will win 10 minutes extra playtime for their whole class!

I am watching some of the Jubilee celebrations just now so the question will be about that –

“Unfortunately the queen’s husband has been ill and has missed the last two days of the celebrations but the question is what is his first name?”

Well done to Zachriya in P5a who was first to post a comment with the correct answer ‘Philip.’

Look out for more Blog rewards soon.

Oliver! Opening Night a Success

Leave a comment

Well done to everyone involved in the drama club’s opening night of Oliver! which was extremely well received by a brilliant audience.  A fantastic opening night.  My two boys (who are 6 and 8 years old) absolutely loved it and sang all the songs all the way home in the car! Tomorrow sees two more performances: one at 9.30am where most of the pupils in the school will get to see it (and for free!!!) and then our final performance will be at 7.30pm.
