Wow - what a fantastic day we had on World Book Day. The children enjoyed some wonderful activities including a ‘book bistro’ and a very special ‘DJS book club’ with some extra special grown up visitors. Thank you so much to all of the parents who gave up their time to share their love of reading with our children. 

This week, as we celebrate World Book Day, we’re excited to share a handy PDF packed with tips and ideas to make reading at home fun and engaging for your child.

The children in Y5 have been learning about the concept of Karma and its importance in Buddhism. They designed and created their own prayer flags with positive messages which were then hung in the school garden to 'catch the wind ' so that the messages could be sent around the world.

We are still one of the projects in the Tesco Stronger Starts scheme in the Driffield store, so please keep putting your blue tokens in our slot on the way out of the shop! We would really like to buy a new play shed to store our scooters in to improve children's playtimes and improve their fitness and wellbeing.

It's been a busy week in Nurture! The children have been starting their mornings with Danny Go! working hard on their own Rainbow animal story, learning about fire safety and finishing the week with some Rainbow Fish art. 

Year 4 have been working hard to learn their times tables. These children have been awarded golden tickets for spending extra time at home - over 30 minutes - on TT rockstars. All these children have made fantastic progress in learning their tables this year. Keep up the good work.
