Breakfast @ Donnington

Fri 20 Jan 2023 Ms Harrison

Our Breakfast Club has been running for 2 weeks now. Please sign up via IRIS ParentMail or ask at the school office if you would like your child to attend.

We open for breakfast at 7:45am and the current charge is £2.50 per day.

For children in receipt of free school meals sign up for four days, Monday - Thursday, and Friday is free.

The children have a choice

of toast with jam or spread

cereal or porridge

and fruit

They can either play games or do some of their home learning.

We are working alongside Magic Breakfast to provide a wider variety of breakfast choices. We will keep you updated.

We’ve been having a fabulous time in the run-up to the holidays. The children worked hard on their productions and both the Key Stage 1 and Early Years and Key Stage 2 performances were well attended.

It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers.
Thank you for your support.

We also had Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas lunch but haven’t had our parties yet….

KS2 French Storytelling Session

Fri 21 Oct 2022 Miss Thompson (MFL Lead)

Bonjour!

KS2 got to experience a morning of storytelling entirely in French by the Freshwater Theatre Company. The children watched and heard the two stories of the Three Little Pigs & Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They did some fantastic listening and speaking.

The wonderful Martina Schwartz performed her songs in French using an amazing accordion too.

The children enjoyed learning French in a fun way :)

Black History

Tue 18 Oct 2022 Miss Smith

At Donnington we learn about Black History throughout the year.

In addition to our usual Black History work we celebrate Black History Month which falls in October.

Last week we had a very special visitor to help us celebrate.

Alim Kamara, a British- Sierra Leonean rapper and storyteller, came to entertain the children. The theme was 'African Civilisations' The children enjoyed watching Alim perform stories and play his drums. Children joined in the drama and chanted positive affirmations. The older children wrote 'Reflections'. The younger children dressed up in African print tabards. A fantastic time was had by all!
