Model Village had the wonderful opportunity to host Elsa and Spider-Man at their school. They were fortunate to win a visit from the Little Princess Company through a Facebook competition, and Friends Of Model Village generously covered the cost for Spider-Man to join in as well.
The children enjoyed singing songs and practising superhero moves, creating a truly delightful experience for everyone involved.
Students from Model Village had the wonderful opportunity to welcome Martin from Bolsover District Council, who spoke to them about materials and recycling. The Year 2 children asked insightful questions and demonstrated a clear understanding of the impact that recycling and littering can have on the environment. The session included interactive activities where students learnt to sort different types of waste and discovered creative ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
On Tuesday, December 10th, Model Village presented a Key Stage 1 Nativity titled "Simply the Nativity." We are incredibly proud of the children and their wonderful performances for the audience. Great job!
Year 3 from Model Village went to share the Christmas spirit with the residents and staff at Richmond Care Home. We sang some Christmas hymns and the residents joined in by singing and tapping their feet. We then had a chat with the residents, asking about their favourite songs and hearing some stories from when they were younger. There were smiles all round. The children were great representatives of the school and received lots of praise from the staff at the care home.
Today, the Mini Police from Model Village School participated in their second session focused on Anti-Social Behaviour. They explored what Anti-Social Behaviour entails and how the police address it. The children posed many insightful questions and contributed innovative ideas.
The officers were all smiles, praising the pupils for their enthusiasm and urging them to keep being community champions. It was heart-warming to witness such young minds ready to sprinkle some positivity on the world! As the session wrapped up, the pupils left with newfound knowledge and a mission to keep their neighbourhood peaceful and friendly. Go, Mini Police!
Rebecca Marsh and Julie Wilson from Model Village Primary School visited their local Co-op in Shirebrook to receive a cheque for £2,971.48, generously raised by the community for the Friends of Model Village Primary. This contribution has been instrumental in helping to secure funding for their new outdoor gym equipment. Thank you for this genous donation.
Year 1 pupils at Model Village, students attended a sports festival at the Leisure Centre alongside several other schools. The event featured a variety of activities, such as relay races with different movement styles, a treasure hunt, and games where children rolled balls into hoops to earn points. The kids had a fantastic time and showcased the school’s spirit remarkably well with their enthusiasm and excellent behaviour.
Their teamwork and sportsmanship were particularly commendable, as they cheered on their classmates and celebrated everyone's achievements. Such events not only promote physical activity but also encourage a sense of community amongst young learners.
