Swimming Gala!

On Friday 2nd March Deighton took a team of swimmers to Abertillery Leisure Centre to compete in a Swimming Gala with 20 other schools.

Miss. Whatley took Molly Hulbert, Rhiannon Gwilym, Nikhil Powell and Martha Jones across to represent our school.  The girls looked very smart in the new t-shirts provided for us by Tesco Express, Tredegar!

After swimming lengths in a relay doing front crawl, the girls secured 4th place.  

Well done girls! Thank you for your hard work, you've done us proud! 

Miss. Lewis.

Easter Raffles

Lots of children have bought Easter raffle tickets and so far over £100 has been raised.  Thank you for supporting the Friends of Deighton and the school in our fundraising.  Miss. A. Jones is pricing up a new cooker for the school and this money is going towards that.  We hope we have the cooker very soon and then we can start trying out some new recipes!  We know money is short these days which is why we appreciate the generosity you show when you send in those £!'s.

Once again, THANK YOU!  

Tree Planting.

This week saw all the children of Deighton School taking turns to plant tree saplings that Ms. Hopkins got for us from The Woodland Trust.

We have planted the trees around the school grounds to create future shady areas.  The children worked in groups making T cuts in the ground to plant the saplings.  There were Alders, Crab Apples, and many more types of trees planted.  Luckily we had a lovely bright Spring day to go outside.  It was a really enjoyable day.  The year 6 children worked alongside the other children of the school giving them guidance and support and showed them how to work together to carefully plant the trees.  Well done guys!  

We look forward to the next time we go planting!  Ms. Hopkins is on the case for more donations from The Woodland Trust.  We would like to thank her and them for giving us the opportunity to improve our school grounds with these lovely trees.  Thank you!

Class Assemblies

It's great to see the class assemblies back again!  Each one has been so enjoyable.  It has been excellent to see how many parents/carers have attended and supported their children and the school.  We would like to say a big thank you for coming along on these Wednesday afternoons, it means a great deal to the children that you come to watch.  It also gives you the chance to see what they have been learning in class.

We are looking forward to Class 2's assembly next!  Well done everyone.  Keep up the great work!
