We have reached the end of the spring term and we certainly ended with a bang! The movie night yesterday was a great success with the children who attended had a great time! Thank-you to the staff who made this possible. We raised £120 for the school. I had great pleasure in taking 6 Year 3 and 4 pupils to Looe Primary on Thursday for the alternative sports day. They enjoyed a day of archery, segway, football golf and a whole lot more. They had chances to make new friends from the other schools and displayed great respect and sportsmanship throughout the day. Thank-you to Mrs Miles for organising the day. The Darite Marine Marvels (our winning Lego team) were visited by BBC Radio Cornwall earlier this week and Christine Butler had an education in coding, innovation and teamwork from the children. They presented their work and skills in a very detailed and simple-to-understand way and were able to showcase their skills on camera as well as through interviews. Mrs Butler was very impressed and we hope that the interview will be broadcast on the radio (and possibly Spotlight) sometime next week. Watch this space! Finally the children had fun today on an Easter egg hunt on the playground. They enjoyed searching for eggs that they then swapped for a treat. All this and they learned about the origins of Easter and its significance to Christians in assembly too. Finally, if your child is being picked up by another parent and carer, could we please ask that you contact school to let us know of the change. Mrs Norris is in the office until 12.30 but if things change after this, please email the teachers to let us know the change. To safeguard children, we will ring you to confirm the changes before we release children if we do not have confirmation. This is to ensure that all children are kept safe. Thank-you for your understanding in this matter. As we end for the holiday, I would like to say thank-you for the continued support of the school and children. Darite is a very special place to work and learn and a huge part of that is the support that the whole community plays in working together for the benefit of the children.
