Our Eco Warriors have been hard at work keeping our environment clean and tidy. They went out as a team to collect rubbish which had blown onto the school field and surrounding areas and discussed how they could help the local community. Their next clean up event will be out at our local parks.
10 lucky girls from Year 3/4 participated in a football festival, which was aimed at
engaging girls into playing football. The girls ventured to Clee Fields along with 19 other local schools
at an event, which hosted over 200 girls! The event had 10 different football drills, which helped the
girls improve basic skills in football. These involved drills such as: Queen of the Hill, shooting drills,
relay dribbling races, through the gates passing drills and mini 2v2 games. The girls were also
fortunate to be coached by the team of Grimsby Town Ladies. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the event
and everyone improved their footballing skills. Well done to everyone involved!
Our Gardening Club have been very keen to get outside and get stuck in to mulching our trees and saplings. They’ve loved using the new wheelbarrows donated by East Marsh United.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service have recently visited our year 5 students to discuss what to do in a fire emergency. The children were really engaged, reenacted the stop, drop and roll advice and asked some really thought provoking and interesting conversations. All children left the session feeling much more confident in their ability to keep themselves safe in an emergency.
As a reward for their participation in a local football tournament, the girls were given free tickets for the EFL League Two fixture between Grimsby Town and Fleetwood Town on the 22 nd February. They were also given a memorable opportunity to be flag bearers to welcome the two teams out onto the pitch prior to kick-off. Mr Dawes and Mrs Beeson attended the match also to support the girls. The girls were treated to a thrilling game as George McEachran scored a wonder strike to put Grimsby Town ahead in the first half! The visitors got themselves level courtesy of Ryan Grandon’s chip shot over Jordan Wright. Minutes after, Danny Rose scored the winner as he headed Grimsby back in front. We all enjoyed the game and here are some photos that Mrs Beeson had captured – you can tell we had a good time!
On Monday 10th February, we enjoyed a special visit from local artist, Francesca Young, who delivered an exciting assembly telling us all about her fantastic art work. During the day, year 5 and year 6 children took part in workshops learning how to paint and draw in her style. Here are some examples of the fabulous work that was created!
On Thursday 30 th January, our year 3 and 4 dodgeball team went to Oasis Academy Immingham for a tournament against 11 other schools. They finished 4 th in their group and were identified as the most honest schools. As a result, they were rewarded with medals and were complimented by Oasis Academy Immingham sport leaders. The team definitely improved as the competition progressed with Harry and Arlo in Year 4 standing out massively. All children thoroughly enjoyed the event and represented the school impeccably.
On Thursday 6 th February, our year 5 and 6 dodgeball team went to Oasis Academy Wintringham for a tournament against 11 other schools. They finished 3 rd in their group and were also identified as the most honest school. As a result, they too were rewarded with medals. The team did really well and on a few occasions, found ourselves one against 5. Ronnie and Demi from year 5 did excellently as they had to face an entire team by themselves at one point. Ronnie managed to eliminate 4 other players on his own before eventually being hit out.
Both teams were amazing and this was evident in the medals they took home for honesty. The leader of the event mentioned that it proves how amazing our children are to be recognised at both events by different schools. You have made Mr Dawes and Mrs Sargent very proud!
On Monday 3 rd February, our girls competed in a tournament ran by Grimsby Town with the opportunity to represent Grimsby Town at a regional tournament in Hull. The girls had their best tournament to date! In the first game, the girls lost the old-fashioned England way (you guessed it – on penalties) to the eventual winners Welholme Primary. The game was a stalemate and ended 0-0 with neither side threatening too much. We then had a game break where the girls regrouped with Mr Dawes and were given some instructions to follow by the manager. The instructions were clear: to press the other team more to win the ball back. In the second game, the girls did just that and Lilley scored the winner by stealing the ball from the defender and slotting the ball home past the opposition keeper. William Barcroft won 1-0. In the third game, the girls were becoming more confident with the instructions given and thrashed the opposition 4-0. Lola scored two from midfield and Ava scored 2. Fantastic display to get all 3 points. In the final game, the girls were rampant and won 3-0 with Ria scoring 2 and Ava scoring another. The girls pressed extremely well and didn’t give the opposition any chance on the ball. The tournament ended and the girls came 2 nd overall. They did get rewarded with free tickets to Grimsby Town vs Fleetwood Town on the 22nd February with opportunities to be flag bearers.
Overall, an excellent tournament, where the girls scored 8 goals and conceded 0 goals throughout the competition. A massive shout out to our defence of goalkeeper Savannah and defenders Anne and Esmai. Esmai won Mr Dawes’ player of the tournament with her excellent defending and bravery – especially in a new position under Anne’s wing. Thank you to our parents and carers, who spectated. It was massively appreciated and you were treated to a spectacle!
Year 3 had a wonderful time at Old Clee Church – the oldest building in Cleethorpes, its Saxon tower dates back to 1050. We were looking at its architecture as part of this term’s Art topic of sculpture. We spent time sketching and taking photos of parts of the church we found most interesting.
Year 5 attended a PE Festival at Cleethorpes Academy on Tuesday 14th January and it was amazing! We were taking part with Bursar Academy. Both schools participated in a variety of multisport activities led by Year 9 sport leaders from Cleethorpes Academy. This included a range of sports such as: gymnastics, football, badminton, athletics and handball. Everybody worked extremely hard and displayed excellent behaviour for the sport leaders and the Cleethorpes Academy staff. It was lovely to see the children interact with new people from other schools.
