• Proud Pound Shop

  Fri 15 Oct 2021 Miss Priddle

  How exciting!  The Proud Pound shop opened for the first time today and the children had the chance to spend the proud pounds they have earned this half term.  

   

  Some children have chosen to save their proud pounds as they are saving for a bigger reward and others were keen to come and spend!

   

  The shop will be open again at the end of next half term.

  

• Year 3 African Drumming Club

  Tue 12 Oct 2021 Mrs Kelly

  Well what can I say, it was music to my ears walking down the corridor listening to the delightful beats from the year 3 classroom. Laughter and squeals of delight escaped from the children, oh what fun they were having! The children are in their second week and what a show they put on. I was thrilled to see some children already stepping up to the mark, by becoming the leaders in the session. Keep drumming!

• Theatre Trip

  How lucky were we?  Old Basford School managed to secure 260 tickets for the matinee showing of 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'.

  Mrs Thomas put out the offer to all our families to see if they would like to have the wonderful opportunity to take their children to watch the show and have a fantastic theatre experience.  

  112 of our children at school enjoyed a brilliant performance and reported this morning that it was 'amazing'!  

  We are glad you all had a lovely time!

  On Tuesday we took our winners from our mini marathon to a Cross country competition against another 15 schools. Each player ran 1500 Metres then passing the baton on. What a successful afternoon we had.

   

  We took 2 teams to this event, a year 5 boys/girls team and a year 6 boys/girls team.

   

  The year 5 girls team of, Ella, Naveah, India and Nyah returned to school with Gold Medals after winning the girls race. The Girls won the race by at least 1 minute a head of second place. Very impressive.

   

  The year 5 boys team of, Obi, Lewis T, Samuel and Caleb returned to school with the Bronze Medals finishing 3rd. An amazing Finish by Caleb in this race going from 7th to 1st in the last 100 meters. 

   

  The year 6 girls team of, Annalisa, Esme, Saphia and Kelsey came in 5th place but it was a great effort. Annalisa winning a medal for showing great determination on the last lap.

   

  The year 6 boys team of, Hari, Gotham, Ethan P and Liam P returned to school with the silver Medals for there 2nd place finish,

   

  This was a massive achievement for these children and represented the school with Pride.

   

  A great afternoon and was great to be back competing against other schools in sport. 

  

• Black History Month

  Fri 08 Oct 2021 Miss Priddle

  October marks Black History Month.  At Old Basford we celebrate and recognise the importance of all ethnic groups throughout the academic year, but today, we celebrated with a whole school assembly.  We learnt about why Black History Month started and of some of the important black people in world history.  We also had a class quiz to name some of the current black heroes we celebrate and admire.  We finished by watching a song that the children really enjoyed.
