Calling all Downderry pupils- past and present!

 

This year Downderry will be celebrating its 90th birthday. We are planning lots of exciting events during the week beginning 3rd July but need your help!

 

We would like to create a museum of memories, including class photographs of former pupils from as far back as possible. Do you know any former pupils? Can we borrow any class photos for our temporary museum? Please tell friends, family and neighbours- we would like to bring the community together as we share in Downderry's 90th year.

 

Photographs can be left in the school office, for the attention of Miss Hewitt. Please include your name and contact details with any photographs so that they can be safely returned.

 

When dropping off or collecting your child from school, if you are in a vehicle please take a moment to think about the health of your child and their friends as well as the environment. Switch off your car when stationary!

A huge “Thank You” to the PTA for organising a fantastically festive Christmas Fair and thank you to all parents, carers and friends who came along and those who made donations. We raised £432.80! This will be going towards a variety of projects within the school to support the children's experiences and learning!

Swimming will resume the first week back after the Christmas break with some minor changes to the timetable. Beech class will now swim on Wednesday and Ash class will swim on Thursday. All sessions will be in the school pool with the exception of Year 5, who will swim at Downham Leisure Centre.

 

This week Downderry collaborated with Bonus Pastor to produced some fantastic artwork. Some of the best artists in both schools used styles based on famous artists such as George Seurat and Salvador Dali to create their own image to place on display around our school.
