What an incredible day! We have had THE BEST time, canoeing, bouldering, caving, zip lining and net climbing. Topped off with our night game of ‘Haggis Bandits’. The pupils have been just amazing. Pushing themselves to do things they never thought they could achieve- has made us even more proud of each and every one of them. We can’t wait for tomorrow where we will be rock scrambling! Now for a good night’s sleep!

Another wonderful day in our forest school yesterday. We were looking at all things yellow to support our Hello Yellow day. We did a parade chanting things that made us feel good, followed by decorating our forest school in yellow as well as creating hello yellow pictures 💛
Today we celebrated ‘Hello Yellow Day’ at Kniveton. Pupils arrived at school wearing items of yellow, to promote positive mental health in support of Young Minds. From hairstyles, hair bobbles, jumpers to yellow tights, it really was wonderful to see the children so bright and engaged in different activities throughout the day, in forest school, out on the playground and in class, all aimed at promoting their mental health and positive thought processes. Hello Yellow day is an important event in our annual calendar, with our children requesting to support such a worthy cause. The sunshine shining brightly made our day even more s#YoungMinds #YoungMinds
We have had an incredibly busy start to the year here at Kniveton! We can’t believe we have already completed week 4. Attending different sporting activities through our involvement with Rural Sports Partnership, such as cheerleading, dancing, handball, archery, axe throwing and This Girl can events and undertaking so many exciting learning opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. During this busy time, we have been unbelievably proud of the way in which our pupils have conducted themselves, throwing themselves into new challenges and displaying our school values throughout everything that they have done. We cannot wait to continue to celebrate all of their achievements and see what this year has in store for them all! Huge congratulations to all of our pupils, keep on being you and aiming high!
