Indoor Sportshall Athletics
19 children took part in the Indoor Sportshall Athletics event at Huntington Secondary School this week. It is always a fabulous afternoon with lots of field and track events accompanied by a very loud speaker system with music to get the children going! The Dunnington team competed with superb resilience and brilliant teamwork.

WELL DONE DUNNINGTON!
After many races, including the obstacle sprint, under and over relay and the 6 Lap Paarlauf and some exciting field events, we got 200 points and came 3rd! A lovely afternoon and thank you to the parents who transported the children during the school day to allow the children chance to take part in this exciting opportunity!

Young Voices Music Room
Your teachers will have to work extra hard to help you learn your songs and dance moves, so please make sure you give them all the support you can by visiting the YV Music Room – where we’ve put some fun resources for you to use at home. Such as:
- Lyric videos – challenge your friends to see who knows the lyrics the best
- Spotify links – listen on the go or right at home, anywhere there is wifi
- Special extras – be sure to check in daily to see if there is a message from someone cool!Young Voices
We sent the code home in the newsletter but if you have forgotten it you could ask for a reminder. The Young Voices Music Room has all the resources you need to help you to learn those words and practise your moves ready for the big night. Keep up the good work!
