Dunston Primary School Update Spring 2011

Due to the bad weather before Christmas, we had to postpone our Christmas performance by Classes 2 and 3. Instead it turned into a January treat! The panto is a modern take on a well known story and is called Cinderella Rockerfella. It was a great success and many parents and relatives said that it was the best performance that they had ever seen at the school. The singing was outstanding, including some stunning solos. The children acted with great confidence and a couple of Year 6 boys even donned dresses and make up as the ugly sisters!

We have enjoyed two swap days with our partner school Digby Primary recently. Some of our children have spent the day at Digby, meeting their pen-pals and experiencing a school day in a different school. In return, some of the Digby children have been to Dunston. The children got on very well indeed and enjoyed the day.

The Friends have put on a Torchlight Treasure Hunt around the school grounds. The children had great fun and the strong wind just made it more exciting. £100 was raised for School Funds.

Finally, Barry Cooper has been at school to run Judo workshops with each class. Barry runs a Judo club in Branston and he showed the children how to do some basic moves. We already have some pupils who do Judo outside of school and there are now many others who would like to take it up!
