  Dear Parents / Carers

   

  Welcome back for the last half term of the school year. There is a lot happening so it will be a busy few weeks.

   

  Year 4 Davenies Cricket Festival - 10 schools from across the local area came together last Tuesday bringing their eager Year 4 teams of boys and girls to play cricket on the playing fields at Davenies. Ably assisted by an umpiring team of Davenies’ staff, each team played four, 6-a-side games in which the hits were high, catches won, matches and the excitement fizzled and squealed throughout a really fun afternoon. Each team wore their team t-shirts with pride and they took away a certificate stating how well they had represented their schools both on and off the pitch. Hot dogs and doughnuts rounded off an energetic afternoon of festival cricket. Mr Thomas (of Davenies School) thanked all the players for their efforts, enthusiasm and good sportsmanship and the many spectators for their encouraging support of all teams.

Whether a child wishes to begin learning an instrument in school or outside school hours, choosing the correct instrument is very important, so we invite you to come and try out some instruments, and gain personal advice from our specialist teachers.
