• Extreme Weather

  Fri 15 Jul 2022 Ms Harrison

  As you know we are about to experience a significant heatwave and the government has raised the weather alert to a Level 4 National Emergency.

   

  At present Donnington will be open as usual but we may contact you on Monday to collect your children early. 

   

  Please make sure that children are dressed in their PE kit on both Monday 18th  and Tuesday 19th July and they come to school with their  water bottle. Wide brimmed hats are also advisable and children should not wear school jumpers.

   

  We will be keeping children inside the building from 11am to avoid the extreme heat. 

   

  We aim for Sports Day to go ahead as planned on Wednesday 20th July but will keep you informed.

   

  Please continue to check this website over the weekend as further updates may be posted before Monday morning.

   

  Best Wishes and stay safe.

• Final Full Day at Gordon Brown

  Thu 26 May 2022

  Today was our final full day at Gordon Brown - we can’t believe we are coming home tomorrow! This morning we did a blindfold trail and the low ropes, where we impressed all the adults with our team working skills. Can you tell who we are with the blindfolds on? This afternoon we took part in a Megabowl, which is like a sports day with odd activities like a welly toss. We can’t wait for the disco and campfire this evening - it’s going to be a blast! See you tomorrow!!

  

• Roman Gladiator Day at Gordon Brown

  Wed 25 May 2022

  We finished a great day yesterday with our talent show; we really impressed the teachers. Today, we had Roman Gladiator Day where we trained in all the skills needed to survive as a gladiator. In the morning, we made shields and learnt the wall formation before we tested our team work on an obstacle course. This afternoon, we tried archery and we can’t believe how much we improved within a few hours!
