Dear Parents/Carers,

Please find below a flyer in regards to the upcoming DSPL3 Parent’s Conference.

On Wednesday the 12th of February, nine-year 10 and 11 pupils represented the school at the annual inter-school Basketball competition. The competition was strong with seven schools attending the fixture.  

Pinewood won 3 out of 6 games and finished in a respectable mid-table position. Not bad considering the team hadn’t even practised as a whole group before.  Some better shouting would have seen more favourable results.  The boy’s behaviour and sportsmanship was top draw and they did the school proud.  Well done Boys and thanks to Mr Wilson for accompanying us. 

Team: Daniel (c), Griffith, Josh G, Josh B, Dennis, Jo, Riley, Tomi, Ibrahim. 

On Monday 3rd of February, Mr Baines and Mr Sinfield took a team to the Valley School to represent the school in the B team football competition. The emphasis of the day was on participation and having fun.  

The players did a great job and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, playing some competitive sport and meeting lots of new people.  

Unfortunately, only three schools attended, but we played each other school three times so the pupils got lots of action.   We won 2 and lost 4, finishing in second place. The pupil’s behaviour was outstanding and they were a pleasure to take out. 
Thanks to the Valley school for hosting us. 

Mr Baines

Pinewood pupils were treated to a lovely selection of Chinese food to celebrate Chinese New Year by our wonderful catering team. After a celebration in assembly on Friday we are now more aware of this being the year of the rat and that those born in this year are thought to be ambitious, clever, devoted to their family, hard-working, imaginative and will always stand by their friends.

Many thanks to Dawn, Zara and Denise for all their hard work.
