DCC Apprenticeships 2022 Information Pack v2

The children in Butterfly, Ladybird and Dragonfly Class wowed us all with their colourful Easter bonnets. They really enjoyed wearing them for an Easter bonnet parade, which staff videoed and uploaded onto the school Facebook page.

The children in Key Stage Two showed amazing creativity with their egg designs – we certainly have some talented children!

As ever, it was an almost impossible task to pick winning eggs and bonnets, as in our eyes all the children are winners – however an impartial panel of judges did just that.  Take a look at the children’s entriesand a huge well done to everyone who made a bonnet or decorated an egg.

It is so sad to say goodbye to our Year 6 pupils. They have been an absolutely fantastic year group throughout their time in school and excellent role models for our younger children. They are a truly talented group. I am sure that each and every one of them has a really bright future ahead of them and wish them every success in their new schools. We will really miss them.
