We are incredibly proud of the girls who represented Model Village at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield during the annual dance festival. The dedication and effort they displayed in mastering the routine within such a short timeframe were truly remarkable. They certainly saved their best performance for the big day!

In addition to their stunning performance, the girls also had the opportunity to watch other schools showcase their talents, broadening their appreciation for diverse dance styles and techniques.

Congratulations to the girls for their outstanding achievement and for representing Model Village with such elegance and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing how they will continue to grow and shine in future performances!

The basketball team from Model Village Primary School did an amazing job representing the school after qualifying for the basketball finals, which were held last week at Shirebrook Academy.

Throughout the tournament, the team showed fantastic determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Their team spirit truly shone through as they supported one another and worked brilliantly together on the court.

The team celebrated a great win against Blackwell Primary School and secured a well-earned draw against Duckmanton Primary School. They then went on to face Park Road Primary School in their final match. It was a very close and exciting game, with Model Village narrowly missing out by just one basket.

We are extremely proud of the team for their effort, determination, and positive attitude throughout the competition. You represented the school brilliantly. Well done to everyone involved! 

At Model Village Primary School, we had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day. The school was filled with excitement as children and staff arrived dressed as their favourite book characters. From brave wizards and mischievous pirates to magical creatures and classic storybook heroes, the corridors were bursting with colour and imagination.

Throughout the day, classes took part in a range of fun reading activities. Children shared their favourite stories, and enjoyed time relaxing with a good book. Teachers also surprised the children by reading some of their favourite books aloud, bringing the stories to life with dramatic voices and plenty of enthusiasm.

World Book Day reminded us all how magical reading can be. It was a brilliant celebration of stories, imagination, and the joy of books!

The children in Mini Models have been exploring the tale of The Three Little Pigs. They had a great time repeating keywords and phrases from the story.

Together, the children collaborated to construct houses for the pigs, aiming to create sturdy structures that the wolf wouldn't be able to blow down! They thoroughly enjoyed reenacting their favourite scenes from the story, taking turns to portray either the wolf or the pigs.

The children have been having a fantastic time with the new additions to their OPAL play. Dressed in their waterproofs and wellies, they are eager to explore the new trim trail features and the outdoor gymnastics equipment.

In the weeks ahead, we plan to introduce the BIG DIG area along with a new construction zone for the children to enjoy during lunchtime.

These initiatives are part of our ongoing effort to provide a dynamic and enriching environment where children can learn and grow through play. We can't wait to see the innovative ways the students will interact with these new spaces, and we're confident that these additions will become cherished parts of their school experience.

This week in computing, Year 2 pupils have been busy collecting data and representing it through tally charts. They then entered their data to create a pictogram.

The students utilised the software Jit5, which has become a favourite among the children. It's so popular that many have even started using it at home! This hands-on approach not only enhances their computing skills but also fosters critical thinking and teamwork as they collaborate on projects.
