• Harvest Festival 2022

  Tue 04 Oct 2022

  A massive thank you to the families that donated food for our harvest festival! We were again amazed by your generosity and kindness. The food has been donated to the Salvation Army who will distribute it to local food banks in Ashfield. 

   

  The children had a special assembly by Mr Robertson who talked about harvest being a time to reflect on the hard work of farmers from all across the world. The children sang their harvest songs beautifully to different classes.

• David Attenborough writes to Attenborough Class

  Thu 22 Sep 2022

  At the start of the term, Attenborough class researched David Attenborough who our class is named after. The children wrote letters to him explaining why we chose to name our class after him and asking him questions about his life. On Wednesday 21^st September, we were shocked to discover that he had replied to our letter! This just shows that our writing can have an impact!

   

  We were approached by the Chad too who have done an amazing article about the letter.

  Sun 11 Sep 2022 Mrs Hill

  Take a look on the Children's section to see the names of the pupils who have been voted in to be on this year's School Council. We had lots of children who wanted to be part of this and each child, in every year group, voted for the two children who they thought would be the best to represent their ideas in the school. We have a fantastic team of 10 members and we are looking forward to working with them during the year!

• Nancy- World Champion

  Fri 15 Jul 2022

   

  Nancy competed at the Brazilian 
  Jiu-Jitsu junior world Gi championships on Saturday at Aldersley leisure village
   in Birmingham. This was Nancy's first 
  competition. Nancy has been training at Gracie Barra Mansfield for just over a
   year. Nancy won gold in the white belt 
  female junior 2 weight category. 
  Winning her gold medal with a 
  submission called a cross collar choke.

   

  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and 
  combat sport based on ground fighting 
  and submission holds. BJJ focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the 
  ground, controlling one's opponent, 
  gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.

   

  Credit to Nancy we knew she would be
   good but being Nancy's first competition we were not sure how good. She 
  submitted and beat some great 
  competition who had been doing it and 
  competing longer than Nancy. We
   couldn’t be more proud! 
  Well done Nancy. You are amazing!
