Y6 Leavers Assembly

Today the year 6 children took part in their last assembly at Deighton Primary School. I t was fantastic! They talked about memories, past teachers, sang songs and received certificates. It was very emotional. I am proud of each and every child and I will miss my year 6 children a lot. They have matured and grown up so much the past 2 years and are now ready for the comprehensive school.

I wish all the year 6 children luck at Tredegar Comp and all the best for the future.

Junior Sports Day

Today was the junior sports day at the Deighton Field. We hade 6 races - sprint, egg and spoon, skipping, backwards race, beanbag relay and the fun relay. The backwards race was hilarious and the boys skipping was fun to watch too!
The children could choose the races they wanted to enter and most children went in every race. It was great to see the children cheering each other on. It was an enjoyable day.
Thanks to the parents who came to watch. You created a great atmosphere and the children love you being there.
WATCH OUT FOR THE PARENTS RACE NEXT YEAR, AND MAYBE A TEACHERS RACE TOO!!!!

Slimbridge Wetlands.

On Monday 4th July classes 5, 6 and 7 went to visit Slimbridge Wetlands.
The site is a home for a variety of birds from around the world, I don't think any of us realised just how many different breeds of ducks there are!
Our visit started off with some pond dipping, followed by a morning of walking amongst the many, many birds.
We then spent the afternoon in 'Welly Boot Land' where the children managed to get themselves soaked in about 4 inches of water!
An interesting and fun day was had and the children were fantastically behaved.

Oakwood Park

On Thursday 7th July classes 8 and 9 visited Oakwood Park. Although thunder storms were forecast we were lucky with the weather and it stayed dry all day. The children had a fantastic day- some of them daring to go on the Big Three! Megaphobia was 'mega', Speed was 'awesome' and Bounce was 'amazing'! With small queues some children went on the same ride up to ten times!
The staff had just as much fun as the children, with photos to prove it!
It was great to see the children all getting on, mixing with each other, and every ride full of blue Deighton jumpers!!
A great day was had by all!.

Blaenau Gwent Sports

Today I took the children who came first or second in the Town Sports to Brynmawr for the finals. All the children were fantastic in their races and were, as always, very well behaved.

School Sign

Deighton is having a new sign to welcome people into the school. Some pupils have designed pictures which will appear on the sign. The following pictures were drawn by Sian Hughes, Connor Delaney, Charlie Hubbard, Dylan Molloy, Kieron Gregory. I think they did an excellent job! Keep an eye out for the sign.
