DJS support the England Cricket Team!

On Friday, Mr Inns, Mrs Kember and several parents took 8 children to Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds.

Mr Inns (as part of an award for his Outstanding Services to Cricket) was asked to bring children to the England v Australia One Day International and play on the pitch at the innings break.

England emerged victorious and more importantly all the children managed to hit some massive sixes into the packed stands while the spectators munched on their sandwiches!

Mr Inns would like to thank the boys for their outstanding behaviour and all the parents who made this trip possible.

Humber School Games Swimming Final

Today our boys and girls competed at the Level 3 Humber School Games Swimming Final.

Pictured are our team before the gala at The Pods, Scunthorpe.

The boys and girls finished a fantastic fourth out of over 1000 schools – well done everyone!

Pizza Perfection!

As part of our D&T project, 5E have researched, designed and made healthy pizzas. The children thoroughly enjoyed the process and came up with some very innovative designs!

Which pizzas do you think look the most appetising?

Netball: Humber Finals!

On Friday evening, our Year 5/6 netball squad faced the challenge of competing against 7 of the best schools in the Humberside area. We managed to win 4 games out of the 7 and finished in 4th place out of 50 entrants. The team played incredibly well showing great skill and teamwork. We are so proud of you – well done!!

Cricket Fantastic!

Last Friday Mr Hopper and the Y3/Y4 cricket team played in the East Riding Drax Cricket Cup and emerged victorious!  They will return to Beverley CC for the East Yorkshire Final in a few weeks.

This Friday Mr Inns took 16 Y5/Y6 children to the East Yorkshire Kwik Cricket Final at Beverley CC.  The children were split into two teams.  Our boys team were unbeaten on the day playing some outstanding cricket while our girls team played some excellent cricket.  Both teams have now progressed to their Yorkshire County Finals which will be held at Wetherby CC in early July.

Ofsted would class you as outstanding at cricket!!!!

Fantastic Orienteering!

Amelia and Elsa were part of our Y5 and Y6 orienteering team that won the Level 2 orienteering event at Burton Constable.  The Y5 team will now compete at the Level 3 Humber School Games at Hymers College in July.  Well done everybody!

Swimming Success!

 

Today saw our swimming team finish third in the East Riding Final held at Beverley Leisure Centre.  A big thank you to Mrs Cartwright and Mrs Edeson for their help and to all the support from the parents.  The Humber Schools Final will be held on Monday 13th July in Scunthorpe.  Well done everybody!

Rounders Success!

Tonight saw 24 children represent DJS in a Driffield Cluster Rounders Tournament.  One of our two teams emerged victorious, beating a powerful Hutton Cranswick team in the final.  The other competing schools were Kilham and North Frodingham.
