Team Theme Awards Ceremony
Last night was the final session of football from Team Theme. The 15 weeks of training seems to have flown by and I know that the children have all enjoyed the support and help from Danny Tom and Anthony. Once again behaviour at attitude have been excellent. The next session will be our 2 week football school held during the Easter holiday. The pitches need to recover from being used so much. Details will be available nearer the time. After Easter Team Theme will be back with their summer programme of football events. Here are a few pictures of the awards ceremony. I am still trying to get the mud off the carpet.

This year the school has reorganised the way we deliver Safe Cycling to our Year 6 children. Previously they were offered the course at the end of the year in July, however, we have changed this so that they now take the test at the beginning of their final year. This means that they can cycle to school for all the year if they pass the test. We are now able to offer the course to Year 5 children in July so that they are ready to use our new cycle store when they return as Year 6 children in September.
The first group of Year 6 children took their test on Thursday and we were delighted that they all passed. Well done. A special thanks to Karen who organised the four day training and test and to Mrs Whittle and Mrs Fleming for ensuring that the children were safe as they acquired their new safety skills. Mr MacAreavy also helped and was very proud of their attitude, manners and attention to safe cycling. Below are a few pictures showing the group in action and showing off their new cycle store. Group 2 will be trained during the week beginning 9th October 2006. Good luck!
