Dunston School News Autumn 2011

On 15 June we attended the Church Schools Festival at Lincoln Cathedral. The Year 6 children from both Digby and Dunston Primary Schools went together and had a super day. They enjoyed an interesting tour and also had the chance to do some carving and some sketching. The act of worship in the afternoon was led by the Right Reverend David Rossdale, Bishop of Grimsby. It was the chance for all the church schools present to see the many activities that had been going on in the morning, such as dance, drama and musical items.

On 20 June our choir took part in the super Cluster Choir event at The Lawn in Lincoln. There were lots of local schools represented, singing songs together and on their own. Our choir sang with power, precision and with lovely harmonies. A wonderful evening.
We have had our Sports Day recently,fortunately in glorious weather, with the Blue team winning the overall trophy. The children were, as ever, very sporting, cheering everyone and every race. I think that this year we had the most parents and relatives watching than ever before. This was followed straight away by our Summer Fayre. This raised almost £600, an excellent sum.

The children have been showing us all what they can do in Dunston's Got Talent. The overall winner this year was Jennifer with her baton twirling performance.

As I write this, the school year has just finished. We have had our Leavers' Service in the church and also the Leavers' Assembly at school. This year thirteen children are leaving us and are going on to four different schools. They put together a wonderful assembly which included a very amusing play written by the children themselves and a very moving Photostory presentation showing us all of the things that they will miss about Dunston Primary School.
