  • World Book Day

    Thu 05 Mar 2026

    We had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day in school! The day began with a special Stay and Read session, where parents were invited into the hall to enjoy breakfast refreshments and share a book with their children. It was wonderful to see families reading together and starting the day with a love of stories.

    The children also took part in a creative competition, re-staging a book cover of their choice. We were so impressed with the effort, imagination and attention to detail shown in all the entries.

    Throughout the day, classes enjoyed a range of book-themed activities. Children designed their own bookmarks and front covers, and some even wrote letters to well-known authors including Michael Rosen and Julia Donaldson. We also came together for a whole-school book quiz, which created lots of excitement and friendly competition.

    In the afternoon, every child used their book token to choose a brand new book to take home and enjoy. Our infant children also took part in a fun book hunt on the school field, adding even more adventure to the day.

    It was a truly enjoyable day, celebrating reading and sharing our love of books — a great time was had by all!

     

     

     

     

  • Rugby Festival

    Wed 04 Mar 2026

    We were delighted to host a fantastic rugby festival, welcoming teams from St Peter's School, East Bridgford and Orston Schools. It was a great afternoon of sport, with all the children showing excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship.

    There was lots of encouragement and support from the sidelines, which created a brilliant atmosphere for everyone involved. In the end, our A and B teams both performed exceptionally well and finished joint first alongside a team from St Peter’s. Well done to all the players who took part!

    A big thank you goes to FOGS  for organising a refreshments stand, which was very much appreciated by players and spectators. We would also like to give a special thank you to Robin for organising and coordinating such a successful event.
