1 September 2023 Issue No. 214 DELIVERED MONTHLY TO 5100 HOMES AND BUSINESSES
Welcome to the September issue of the Sprotbrough Arrow
Wow, what a summer! I hope everyone managed to get some sun in August after the wet July we had!
We are so very lucky to have the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster and the summer concerts. To have an amazing attraction on our doorstep which offers something for everyone is incredible.
As September draws closer, we focus on the new academic year ahead. I hope all students who are embarking on a new chapter of their life, got what they needed from their results. I have just watched England Lionesses, lose the world cup. They will be devastated but in time will recognise the huge step made in woman's sport, with more and more girls choosing sport now than ever before.
The October issue deadline for adverts and content is Wednesday 13th September The Arrow will be delivered by 1st October.
Best Wishes

ORCHARD INFANT SCHOOL NEWS
Sports Day
Whilst the weather forecast had not been too promising we managed to go ahead with our plans for sports day on Tuesday 27th June with just a few minor tweaks!
It was lovely to see the children from all year groups enjoying this occasion and cheering each other on during the races. It is important to develop positive attitudes to physical activity at a young age so we are proud of the way everyone was included and able to join in. Thank you for your support and encouragement – the children really appreciated it!
Sing Out
After weeks of practising, most of our Year 2 children attended the Doncaster Music Hub Sing Out event at The Dome on Wednesday 21st June 2023. This experience provided a valuable opportunity for children to develop their perseverence, resilience and collaboration – all essential behaviours for learning. The late night did not dampen our spirits in the slightest and we showed that the children at Orchard can sing and dance with the best of them! Feedback from the children was fantastic, with some of their quotes including:
“This has been the best day of my life!”
“It was amazing! My tummy felt happy.”
“I felt proud because all my family came to watch me.”
“When I saw all the people I felt scared because I’ve never performed in front of a live audience before.” It was also wonderful to hear leaders from other schools praising our children for their behaviour and enthusiasm. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the adults who supported this event, including the hard work of staff members from Doncaster Music Hub and the team at darts. WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED!
Transition Events
The children in Year 2 have enjoyed their first transition visits to Copley Junior School where most children will be continuing their educational journey when they start in Year 3 this September. All other year groups have also enjoyed visiting their new classroom to meet their new teacher and find out more about their next steps in readiness for September.
