We enjoyed welcoming Father Felix to lead our worship to mark Ash Wednesday. The children reflected on the reasons behind Shrove Tuesday and then shared what they have decided to do to mark Lent. All of the school were then invited to have a cross marked in ash on their foreheads and before joining together in song and prayer.

Well done to the team of runners from years three, four, five and six who took part in the cross country event held in Market Harborough. Running in very challenging conditions, the children did well across the different races with many finishing in the top ten and one of our year three pupils winning their race. Thank you to the organisers and to Mr Williams for leading the team.

We were delighted to host the regional quiz competition again, welcoming teams from two other schools to take part. The teams are made up of pupils from years three, four, five and six with our teams selected after classes quizzes are completed. The children had a challenging but enjoyable time answering general knowledge questions across different rounds. Congratulations to the team from Fleckney Primary School who won with a very impressive total and now qualify for the next round.

Well done to the team of pupils from years five and six who represented the school in the recent competition at Robert Smyth Academy, finishing in third place.

The team did well, achieving some excellent outcomes and should be proud to have finished fifth in the competition. Thank you to Mr Williams and Miss O’Neill for coaching the team.

Well done to the children from years five and six who represented the school in the match against Little Bowden Primary School.
