Turkey Trot - Thursday 17th December 2009

Pupils donned festive hat and t-shirts for their annual Turkey Trot - a 1 mile run around the ec and the school field.
The ground was wet and muddy in places and there was much slipping and sliding as pupils decided whether to run in the Elite Turkeys, Fast Trimmings or Fun Runners.
Afterwards there was a cup of steaming hot chocolate awaiting all who finished the course.
Well done to everyone who took part, to all the finalists, and to the fastest girl and boy - Shinika Williams and Luke Reading.

Water Sports Activity Weekend in France, 1st – 3rd May 2009

On Friday 1st May a group of 44 pupils and 6 adults set off from Stockingford at the rather unearthly hour of 5.30 am to travel to France.

Their destination was Ardres, east of Calais. Their aim – to enjoy a weekend of water sports activities including kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding and dragon boat racing.

They also had the opportunity to experience archery, fencing and the ‘leap of faith.’

A fantastic time was had  by all, as our photos show.
