A new gymnastics after school club commenced today for children in year one and two.  The club is being run by Premier Sport.  Spaces were restricted to a maximum of 20 pupils.  Due to the high demand, Premier Sport have agreed to run an additional club commencing Thursday 19th January, 2012.  At the end of the course, children will receive the British Gymnastics Proficiency Award.  New forms will be sent out however places will be given on a first come first served basis.  Further information can be obtained at premiersport.org

 

 

We are collecting tokens for the Make A Wish Foundation which are currently appearing in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle and Journal newspaper.  This is on behalf of Birtley Athletics Club.  If you can help please send the tokens into school.  Many thanks for your support.

 A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Speedmark challenge which took place recently.  The children had a fantastic time and sponsorship money raised totalled £3,631.50.  As we receive 50% of the total raised this means a whopping £1,815.75 has been raised towards our school funds.  The orders have been placed and the prizes will be given out as soon as we receive them from Speedmark.  Thank you again for your generosity and support. 

Mrs Dobson`s class were overall winners of the Year 5/6 Sports Event.  As a reward, the children have chosen to have a pyjama party on the afternoon of Thursday 20th October 2011.  Children will change into their pyjamas after lunch, so should come to school in their uniform as usual.  Children can bring pyjamas, slippers and dressing gowns.  They may also bring a small pillow and blanket (no sleeping bags or duvets!)  If they wish, children may also bring a healthy snack and share this with others.  Well done Year 6 !

Some of our children recently signed up for and took part in fencing lessons after school.  The children took part in one hour coaching sessions, for five weeks, through Premier Sport.  They were taught many skills and last night saw the children put on a fencing display for their parents.  The children thoroughly enjoyed this, as did the many parents/carers who attended.  Angela, their coach, commented what a pleasure it had been to teach the group and how she looked forward to coming back to Harlow Green Community Primary School in the future.  Look out for details of a dodgeball club coming soon.  Well done to everyone who took part in the fencing club!
