To celebrate England's semi-final World Cup match, we are inviting children to come to school on Wednesday 15th July wearing an England top, a football shirt, or red and/or white if they wish. This is entirely voluntary and is not compulsory. Homemade tops supporting England are very welcome too! Thank you for your support, and we hope the children enjoy showing their support for the England football team!

Well done to everyone who took part in our Sports Day yesterday at the home of Gainsborough Trinity FC! It was wonderful to see the children throwing, running and jumping to compete in all their events for their houses. The Core Four shone through like the sun with Community, Hope, Dignity and Wisdom in abundance. Thank you to everyone who was able to watch and to everyone who made this event happen. In EYFS and KS1 the winners were Hawkings with nearly 260 points and in KS2 by only two points, the winners were Jemison. Fantastic achievements. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust

This week, the children enjoyed exploring the pointillism technique inspired by Georges Seurat. We had beautiful red and pink hydrangeas on the tables for the children to observe, and they used tiny dots of paint to create their own stunning artwork. They showed fantastic concentration, creativity and care with their paintings, and the results were incredible. Well done Reception, we're #ParishProud of you!

Year 5/6 enjoyed a fantastic workshop delivered by Step Fusion! The children learned about fusion technology and how it could provide sustainable energy in the future. They then put their knowledge to the test by designing their own fusion energy campus, balancing costs, the environment, wellbeing and technology in a fun team challenge. A big thank you to Step Fusion for an engaging and inspiring session! Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust STEP Fusion

Sporting event three last week was for our Year 1 and Year 2 children. They walked up the road to Queen Elizabeth High School for a Multi-skills event. The event was superbly organised by the school and the council and the older children were great at helping our younger children. They learnt so many skills that they can use in so many sports. Thank you to all the staff in KS1 who made the morning possible. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust Your School Games Youth Sport Trust Active Lincolnshire West Lindsey District Council

Sporting event two last week saw our Year 6 Cricket team travel to Woodhall Spa for the County Cricket finals! Although it was blowing a gale, the sun was shining and the wickets were in immaculate condition. The team gave it their all but when your team has no children playing cricket outside school and all the other teams have many members of Cricket clubs, it will always be hard. However, we hit some fours and took some great catches to finish as the 8th best team in the County. Well done to the players and Coach Benny.

What a busy week of sport we had last week! Firstly, we had a Year 5/6 and a Year 3/4 football team at the Sturton by Stow summer football festival. A wonderful event that saw great performances and hard word in the sunshine. A huge credit to the children who gave up the chance to watch England against Congo DR to play in this competition. Thank you to all the family members who supported the children and Coach Benny for his tactical insight!
