Date for your diary. The Doncaster Primary Schools Cross Country Event will be held at Hill House Independent School on Saturday 21st April 2012. Children will be chosen from the running club to represent the school nearer the event.

I have also received below some exciting information regarding Doncaster’s Brooks Run 10KM and Community Challenge Fun/Run 

Dear School, 

You may have seen recently in the PRESS and heard on the RADIO of an exciting new event for DONCASTER in our very special OLYMPIC YEAR, on Sunday 13^th May 2012. 

The BROOKS RUN DONCASTER 10KM event is run in conjunction with DMBC. This will be Doncaster`s first ever mass participation 10km road run and Community Challenge Fun/Run which is being run over 2km. 

The event is starting and finishing at our famous Doncaster Racecourse and taking in TOWN FIELD, MARKETS AREA, FRENCHGATE CENTRE and returns to finish at RACECOURSE. 

I wish to inform you that printed entry forms will be on their way to you shortly. Please would you be so kind to distribute amongst pupils and staff to encourage participation in what is going to be a great event for the town. 

The main race is aimed at adults over the age of 16 years who can run 10km, but we have a great FUN/RUN which is just over 1mile and aimed at anyone that wants to take part who maybe under the age of 16 or not quite ready to run the 10k!

We would also like to inform you of a FREE RUNNING WORKSHOP aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 16 years. This is being held on SATURDAY 18^TH FEBRUARY at the KEEP MOAT STADIUM ATHLETIC TRACK from 10am to 1pm. The event will be packed with loads of FUN, PRACTICLE SESSIONS, ADVICE and the chance to win prizes!

Kindest regards,

David Tune

Key Stage 2 children can now take part in a lunchtime running club. Years 3 & 4 will be on Tuesday and Years 5 & 6 will be on Thursday. Children will require outdoor kit to take part. Earrings must be removed and children with asthma must have their inhaler in school.

The school will be entering the Doncaster Primary Schools Cross Country event held at Hill House Independant School next year.

I hope you will encourage your children to take part in the running club and help us promote sport and a healthy school!

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards

K McConachie

This week was a huge success for my Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 dancers. After months of rehearsals, this week saw the fruition of their hard work and effort. The group performed in front of the whole school and then again at HVAC along with other schools in our pyramid. The whole afternoon was a major success. A huge well done and thank you from me!
