Cricket taster sessions

Year 3, 4 and some year 5 children had the chance to take part in cricket taster sessions. They all joined in and enjoyed the experience.

Town Sports

Today I took 50 of our children down to Tredegar Comprehensive School to take part in the town sports. There were 4 events: sprint, relay, javelin and the long jump. Everybody tried their best, and the children behaviour was excellent.
Everybody who took part had a certificate, and children who came first or second in an event went through to the Blaenau Gwent Sports which is taking place next Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it.
A big thank you to the parents who came along! It was great to hear you shouting for Deighton! GO DEIGHTON!!
There is an athletics club at Brynmawr Comprehensive if you are interested in taking your child. It is at 5:30 Mondays and Thursdays and you can just turn up.

Gym Display

Our year six children went to the comprehensive again today to participate in a gymnastic display. Our children worked on a routine (with the help of Wallis Jones aka dance choreographer and child motivator) to the song 'Shuffling'. The routine was fantastic and the children did Deighton proud!! Well done to the year six children who took part!
The children at the comprehensive then showed us what they do in gymnastics club and lessons. The standard was amazing! Lara Phillips our y6 British Gymnast joined in with the comp children. She is super talented and we were all in awe! A great day!

Leavers Ball

I arrived at the leavers ball at 5.30 and waited eagerly for the chidlren to arrive. One by one they arrived, immaculately dressed. The girls all looked so beautiful, Miss  Jones and I were looking for tips! The boys made a great effort too! Very smart indeed. Hairstyles were fantastic, curly for the girls and straight for many boys. I can't believe how great everyone looked!
A great night was had by all! A great buffet, great music and party games, everybody having fun, a lovely atmosphere. Everyone had a great time, with Joseph Davies showing us the up and coming dance moves!
A big thank you to the parents for making such an effort, and a thanks to the adult helpers who made the night possible. A great big thank you to KAREN JONES! Without her fantastic organisational skills and creativity the ball would be non-existent. A big thanks!!!!

Y5 Orienteering

Our year 5 children went to Tredegar Comprehensive to work with teaching staff and staff from Gilwern. They participated in 3 orienteering events. They worked in teams with children from other schools using maps to solve problems. They enjoyed making new friends, and using the skills they've learnt in school. We had a great morning!

Y6 swimming gala

Today our year six children went to the swimming gala. They all enjoyed it, and everyone took part. It was a chance for them to mix with other year 6 children from Tredegar.

Head of year 6 visit

The head of y6 Mr Howells came in today with the school council from Tredegar Comprehensive School to speak to the year 6 children. They are looking forward to visiting the comp for the taster day on July 12th.

Y6 Leavers ball

The friends of Deighton have organised the Year 6 leavers ball for Friday 26th June. Please could the consent forms be in by Friday 19th so that we know how many children are going. If you have mislaid the form please ask for another one.
The ball has always been a success. It will be the last disco that the year 6 children will be together so please encourage your child to come. There will be a dvd made with all the pictures for the children to keep and look back on.

I will be attending this year as I have year 6 children and I can't wait!

Year 6 Parents - Don't miss the radio show!!

Voice Radio will be coming to the school on Tuesday 12th June. The radio show that our year 6 children wrote and recorded in the studio will be broadcast for the whole school.
Parents of year 6 children are invited into school between 10 and 12 to join us in listening to the broadcast, celebrating their achievement. The part I heard was fantastic and I can't wait to hear the final show.


There will also be other activities going on and refreshments will be provided.
