Year 6 had an overnight stay at Perlethorpe Outdoor Education Centre where they took part in den building, team games and boat racing on the river.

Splat Circus Skills visited us in school to teach us some new circus skills and tricks. The children displayed resilience and enthusiasm when taking on the challenge of learning new skills.

The school choir performed in the 'Sing Out' concert at Doncaster Dome with many other schools from around Doncaster. The all had a fantastic time singing and dancing and they represented the school in an exemplary manner.

Class 1’s PSHE lesson was themed on ‘basic first aid’ so we got an expert in. Mr Bawden teaches first aid alongside his job as a prison officer. The children had the opportunity to ask questions, explore a first aid kit and discuss playground scenarios. They realised that we’re all first aiders! 

On Wednesday 22nd February, Girlguiding celebrated World Thinking Day. This is an important celebration within Girlguiding in which members explore international friendship and Girlguiding across the world. To mark the occasion we encouraged all members of Girlguiding (Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Leaders etc.) to wear their Girlguiding uniform to school. At Everton Primary School, we were very fortunate to have Miss Scott, Leader of the 1st Ranskill Brownies, to organise and take the lead on World Thinking Day.

The ‘West End in Schools - Bringing Books to Life’ came into school to show us how to use our imagination in dance to depict the books that we read.
We loved being performers, using actions to perform the retelling of the story of ‘The Enormous Crocodile’.

Thank you to everyone who attended to our ‘Musical Spectacular’ at the Village Hall. The School Choir and all of the musicians who performed were absolutely amazing. We are very proud of each and every one of them. Thank you to everyone - parents, carers and members of the public - who came to support.

After winning the Elizabethan Sports Hall Athletics competition, we represented the Elizabethan Family of Schools at the Bassetlaw Final finishing a very respectable fifth place.

The Coram Life and SCARF Team came into school to do a workshop. We thought about our feelings, parts of the body and what they do, how we feel after exercise, how we can make other people feel, healthy food and what to do to help someone feeling sad. It was a very informative and enjoyable day.

Everton Primary School won the Elizabethan Sports Hall Athletics competition and will now represent the Elizabethan Family of Schools at the Bassetlaw Final.

The school football team modelling our brand new football kit, training tops and footballs, which have been kindly donated to us by Essenkay Solutions Ltd.

We have entered the Bassetlaw Football League for the first time this year and we have loved every match so far - win, lose or draw!

Lilah, who attends our Nursery, has had her beautiful artwork made into wallpaper. After being kindly donated some rolls by Lilah’s family, the wallpaper was coloured in expertly by the rest of the children in our Nursery and Reception. They used coloured pencils and chunky paint pens donated to Lilah by Ryman and The Works for this project, and to keep for future ones too. 'Thank you' to Mr Taylor for doing the wallpapering for us. This has now created a fabulous new ‘feature wall’ in our Foundation Stage - designed and created by our Foundation Stage children.

Class 3 (Year 5&6) went on a residential visit to Hagg Farm. They took part in canoeing, caving, nature walks, nightline and campfire activities.

On Monday 7th November 2022, we were very fortunate to have John Millin in school for an extended assembly and to play the bagpipes as the children left school.

John Millin is the son of the late Bill Millin who fearlessly played his pipes while allied troops scrambled onto Sword Beach. Bill was a Canadian musician and was personal piper to Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat (Commander of the British 1 special service brigade at D-Day). Bill was made more infamous by the war film ‘The Longest Day’.  

John works really hard to keep the memory of his late father alive. Sadly, Bill died before he could see the unveiling of his statue in Normandy but his son John and his grandson were invited to play. He has met many dignitaries and appeared on The One Show.

This year our School Council want the school to focus on 'Plastic Pollution and Recycling', so after their litter pick, they created an assembly to share with the school on both of these topics - highlighting why they are so important not only around our village, but around the world.

Today, we were visited by the Misterton Fire Service who spoke to us about fire safety in the lead up to bonfire night.

As part of our association with Plastic Clever Schools and 'Rotakids' our School Council are wanting to inform the rest of school about the importance of recycling and not dropping litter - teaching the positive effects that both of these things will have on our local environment and beyond. Above are pictures of our School Council taking part in a local 'litter pick'.

On Wednesday 3rd August 2022, using the Government's PE and Sport Grant, all our children at Everton Primary School were given the opportunity to attend the Commonwealth Games 2022 being held in Birmingham.
