Springbank  3     vs    Kimberley  1
Great news! Can't wait for the finals in June!

Springbank children today are competition winners and have been invited to the Level 3 County finals towards the end of the summer term (dates TBC).  We are so proud, well done to every child who participated.

What an amazing learning experience for our year 5 children. The knowledge and understanding about the term racism gained was outstanding! This afternoon we visited the Notts County ground and got to meet the following four professional football players:

Shloa Ameobi- Notts County striker

Liam Noble- Notts County midfielder

Kevin George- Played for West Ham and Charlton Athletics

Jason Lee- Played for Nottingham Forest

The children listened to guest speakers, watched an educational film and got involved in a press conference, where they got to ask questions relating to racism to the panel of players. Every child got autographs from the players and a special well done to Lexi G and Connor W for coming 1st and 2nd in the panel's favourite questions. We just had time to take a class photograph inside the ground after being able to walk through the player's tunnel. 

The whole school attendance for the week 23.3.18 is 96.3% and the class winner is Y5 100%. Well done!

We have been given the following warning:

Snapchat have introduced a new tracker in the update where you can view the exact location of your friends.  It can give you the area, town and street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house on the street layout. 

If your children are on Snapchat please check that their location settings are set to Ghost mode.

To do this make sure the app is the updated version and go to selfie mode on the camera. Then zoom out.  It will give you the option of changing who can see your location.

Please follow the link attached for more information. BBC Snap Chat Warning
