• Pancake Day Mayhem!

  Fri 07 Mar 2014
  Team Darwin are the proud winners of the Swadlincote Pancake Day Race 2014. On Tuesday morning Year 6 travelled to the town hall in Swadlincote where they competed against each other in a flipping brilliant morning of racing around and over obstacles, all the while battling to keep the pancake in the pan!
  
  It was great fun and saw Team Darwin claim the trophy and an additional 5 pts for their team.
  
  Well done to Jayden Clamp, Nathan Wright, Connor Clements, Josh Knighton, Talia Castledine, Dylan Lamb and Thomas Smithard.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Basketball Brilliance

  Fri 07 Mar 2014
  Fairmeadows finished a noble fourth in the Basketball county finals, narrowly losing out to eventual winners int he semi-final. The matches were all hard fought and the quality incredibly high as Fairmeadows stormed through the group stages to qualify for the first time in six years for the semi-finals. A gallant and bold effort from the weary team was not enough in the 3rd/4th play off to claim 3rd but it remained a superb performance with the team achieving the following results:
  
  Won 6-4
  Drew 0-0
  Won 10-0
  Drew 6-6
  Lost 4-6
  Lost 4-6
  
  Well done to all the players: Dylan Lamb, Jayden Clamp, Theo Baker, Sophie Dighton, Nathan Wright, Josh Knighton, Corey Eley, Olivia Gould, Callum Bramwell and Tom Smithard.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• World Book Day 2014

  Thu 06 Mar 2014
  Thank you to all the parents and staff who have helped to make World Book Day such a fantastic and fun experience. It was wonderful to see all the children coming into school, excited and smiling, but best of all dressed to impress!
  
  A super turn out in fairy tale dress that has turned our school into a veritable Wonderland! (Moreso even than usual!)
  
  Choosing the winner will be difficult but we will gove it our best shot. Well done to all the children, who look magnificent.
