The latest Ofsted inspection rated theschool overall as ‘Good’ with someaspects being ‘Excellent’. In his letterto the pupils, the Inspector wrote:

“This is a good school and youare rightfully proud of it. It is helping you develop asyoung people exceptionallywell. You are clearly motivatedto learn and enjoy school agreat deal, because what you do is interesting andteachers make learning fun.”

Where are we?The school has been at its present sitesince 1st January 1958 when it openedits doors as a Junior School. At ourGolden Jubilee celebrations last year wewere very fortunate to have some of theoriginal teachers and pupils from 1958and they recounted how they hadcarried their tables and chairs from theold site, which is now MickleoverCommunity Centre, down Vicarage Roadto their new school.

What have we achieved this year? There is never a dull day in school life! Asa school we were pleased to receiveInvestors in People status, earlier this

Mickleover Primary School is a verypopular school at the very heart ofthe community and has built up andmaintained an excellent reputation.

year. The School Council is very activeand provides the children with anopportunity to make a difference, bothin school and in the wider community.They have successfully achieved theirSchool Council Silver Award and theyorganise charity days, raising money andcollections for worthy causes. They havebeen writing and researching articles topublish in a weekly school newspaper.The ECO action group obtained theirSilver Award this year and have beenworking on energy reduction. They havebeen collecting evidence together andhave applied for the Green Flag Award.Education goes much further than thetraditional subjects of numeracy andliteracy and whilst we maintain highstandards in all areas of the curriculum,we are also continuing to develop ourown skills-based, curriculum in line withthe QCA's view on education in the 21stcentury and the Rose Review.

What opportunities are available tochildren?We have a broad and rich curriculumwhich includes a range of extracurricularactivities for our children e.g. tag rugby,netball, football, tennis, fencing, schoolchoir, athletics, running club, tabletennis, drumming, gymnastics, kwikcricket, wind band, drama, cheer leading.

Peripatetic music teachers come intoschool to teach wind, string and brassinstruments. All children who take musiclessons have the opportunity to performin an end of year music concert each year.

Pupils extend their learning by visitingplaces of interest e.g. Sea Life Centre,Little Moreton Hall, White Post Farm. Year5 stay at a PGL camp for a week doingrafting, abseiling etc.

The school welcomes visitors such aspoets, artists and dancers to supportcurriculum activities. Musical productionstake place each year for all key stages.

What facilities do we have?We have large playing fields where thechildren can play sports and games, amulti-purpose playground which ismarked out for various activities,transforming playtimes into a dynamicenvironment where children canexercise, use their imagination anddevelop their social skills. We also have apond where children can study plantand water life and recently we havedeveloped a nature area, with the helpof parents, where children can studywildlife or sit amongst the manydifferent species of plants and shrubs,watching butterflies, birds and othersmall creatures going about theirdaily life.

What are our plans for thefuture?We are always looking at ways ofimproving facilities for our childrenand we are currently in the process ofraising funds for two major projects. Weare building two new classrooms whichwill enable us to teach the children insmaller groups – a maximum of 28 perclass. We are also developing an outdoorclassroom area so that children canspend more of their lesson time outside,in the fresh air. These additions willprovide us with much needed space andit will be very exciting for the children towatch, as the buildings take shape.

Our School Business Manager TraceySandland, is co-ordinating thefundraising activities with the valuablehelp and support of the FriendsCommittee, chaired by AlisonMcCreadie. We have had a fantasticresponse to our Jewellery RecyclingCollection, Freaky Friday Disco, Fish andChip Quiz Night and a Christmas Fair –

all of which have been very wellsupported by the parents. We are now looking to expand ourfundraising activities to the widercommunity and we’re seeking the helpof local businesses and groups. In thereception area of our new classroomsthere will be a Supporters Wall where wewill proudly display the names of allbenefactors and sponsors who havehelped us to achieve our goal. If youwould like to support our school or haveany ideas of how we can raise funds, MrsSandland would love to hear from you!

By learning how to lead structuredtraining sessions and use a variety ofequipment, the youngsters are alsounwittingly setting themselves on theroad to a brighter future. This initiativeSam Godfrey intends to roll out to PrimarySchools in Derby, when he launches thejunior leaders award in January.

Sam explains, "Boxing is a lot more thantwo people getting in the ring andhitting each other," he says. "For a start, allmy classes for children are non-contactand are about getting fit, enjoyingyourself and learning new skills. If thestudent really gets into boxing andwants to go further down the line toactual sparring and competing itself,then great; but that's only a very smallpart of their journey."

Sam is convinced that boxing can helpyoungsters better themselves and givethem a positive focus in life - even ifthey have previously not been able toenjoy sport.

You can find more details of Sam's boxingschool at www.sggboxingclub.co.uk

Derby City Council’s b-activeinitiative offers some useful tipsfor families to get active together.

To stay fit and healthy we need to havean active lifestyle. So just how muchactivity should we be doing? Therecommendations from the ChiefMedical Officer are: • that adults should take part in at least

three and ideally five sessions of 30minutes of moderate intensityphysical activity a week

• that children and young peopleshould do at least 60 minutes ofmoderate intensity activity a day

• that moderate intensity means you getwarm and sweaty – just how you feelwhen you are dashing about in a rush

• that you can break down the 30minutes into three 10-minute blocks,making it easier to fit into your daily life.

What is physical activity?Any form of exercise or movement isphysical activity. It could include walking,cycling, playing football, dancing,running, household jobs, gardening orwalking the dog.

One hour of exercise a day for childrendoes not have to be done all at once; itcan be built up throughout the day. Byencouraging children to be active it will…• help develop muscles and bones• reduce weight gain, which may lead

to diabetes, high cholesterol and highblood pressure

• help children feel good aboutthemselves, boosting their self esteemand help them feel less stressed

• improve sleep• stimulate the brain and learning.

Did you know that watching TVburns 70 calories an hour? Insteadyou could…• try dancing which can burn 310

calories an hour• skip which uses 680 calories an hour• cycle which can burn 410 calories an

hour.

Be active as a familyReplace time spent surfing the net,watching TV and playing computergames with more energetic activities.Here are a few family-fun ideas…• wrap up and head down to your local

park. Have fun on the playgrounds, playgames, go on a nature walk or cycle

• walk and cycle with the children, goon a family bike ride

• leave the car at home and walk toschool

• visit the countryside and naturalbeauty spots. Set a family challenge toread a map and explore

• dig the garden, encourage your childrento have their own vegetable plot

• chores game – everyone is given a jobto do around the house, timeeveryone, see who can do it thequickest

• have garden races, build a mini assaultcourse using skipping ropes, hoopsand balls

• practice skipping – do a familychallenge, who can complete themost number of skips in a minute?

• wash the car• clear some space put on some music

and dance• be prepared – have a box at home and

in the car with balls, a Frisbee or kiteand you will always be ready for action!

As a family start taking small steps toincrease activity in your lifestyle, smallchanges will encourage you to keepgoing.

You’ll reap the rewards by being active –it’s important for your health and wellbeing, but most of all you will have lotsof fun!

10 years ago, Maggie was presentedwith the opportunity to start her owncompany and has not looked backedsince.

During this time, Maggie hasdesigned and sourced items fromaround the world for key nationalclients, John Lewis, Paperchase,Joules and Top Shop to name just a few!

I love stationery and always have, soto sit and chat with Maggie and hercolleague Fiona Petrie, surrounded byshelves packed to the rafters with paperbooks and collections created for theseoutlets is heavenly- I can’t believe thathere in this room all things beautiful aredesigned and sourced and sent to thehigh street!

But many things start out on the shelvesof 5ive. Right next to me is a range of ragbaskets, which Maggie found on a trip toIndia last year, She loved them andbrought them back to sell in 5ive. A yearlater and during a casual chat withbuyers for Paperchase, she showed thebaskets to them. Now, a year after 5ivestocked the baskets, Maggie is supplyingthem to Paperchase, she will also besupplying a range of books, which shehas designed using the same materials inmaking the baskets.

Maggie’s daughter has recently joinedthe team, Emily is a designer too,

Unless you are a resident of Duffield, it isquite possible that you will never have comeacross 5ive gift shop, in fact even if you dolive in Duffield, you could quite easily havepassed by the shop.

Maggie and Fiona

specialising in leather goods, this hasexpanded the range of products andDesign & Source Ltd are currentlysupplying Top Shop with a huge order ofleather belts. Unbelievably, samples ofthese can also be found in 5ive.

Almost every product available in theshop has a story behind it, usually fromone of Maggie’s trips to India or China,but what impresses me most, is thatthere are real gems to be found andusually well before the high street !

You absolutely must visit the shop andsee for yourself.

Situated in a converted house in TownStreet it is home not only to the shop butalso the fantastic business Design &Source Direct Ltd, which owner MaggieHancock also runs.

It is the Design & Source company andMaggie’s passion for international shoppingthat is the inspiration behind 5ive.

We have a fantasticrange of classes for toddlers too, from thenervous absolute beginners to the veryconfident babies who have swum with usin our baby swimming classes. We buildyour child’s confidence in a fun, actionpacked class then we put those skills intopractice in our Dippers Class where theyreally learn to swim.

It is never too early to introduce yourbaby to the joys of being in the water. At Puddle Ducks we offer you theperfect environment to embark on thisjourney together.

Cate Woodrow-Smith, a new PuddleDucks franchisee, is delighted to tell youall about some new baby swimmingclasses she has recently launched in andaround Derbyshire.

At Puddle Ducks, we believe thatswimming with your baby or youngchild is an extremely positive andrewarding activity that can even beenjoyed when your baby is as young asjust a few weeks old. Coming to aPuddle Ducks class, you can bereassured that you are being taught by ahighly qualified teacher who also hastraining in lifesaving and resuscitationskills for adults, children and babies.

We take babies underwater in PuddleDucks and they learn to kick and propelthemselves back up to the surface. It’s abeautiful moment to see your baby withtheir eyes wide open swimming towardsyou, waiting to be collected. Howeverthere is a serious element to this activity -perhaps it would gain you a few vitalseconds if your baby ever fell into a pool?

Cate says, “I believe those first fewmonths with your baby are so precious,and no other activity has as manybenefits. I took my daughter Oliviaswimming from just 6 weeks and ourswimming classes were always thehighlight of our week. Dad came alongtoo and we took it in turns to swim withOlivia, the class was so enjoyable thatneither of us wanted to miss out on allthe fun!”

Jack Rabbits KitchenWritten by the owner, Amelia Horne, the book,

Forty Nine; A refreshing approach to everyday

foods, brings together everything we love about

Jack Rabbits.

Forty Nine is designed to offer a structure to the

meals you eat, the ingredients you use and to

simplify mealtimes.

The book is just £10 and you can purchase your

copy from Jack Rabbits on Queen Street in Derby.


Serves 4-6. You Will Need…• 1 medium red onion, finely diced• 2 -3 cloves garlic, crushed• 150ml dry white wine• 8 good quality sausages• 75g butter • Sprig rosemary• 2 pinch ground Nutmeg • 90g Freshly grated parmesan • Salt and pepper• Pinch of ground cloves• Penne pasta• 1 garlic clove

What to do…Firstly, bring a pan of cold water to the boil. Add a pinch of salt,and then pour in the rice, and boil for 10 – 12 minutes until therice is tender. Whilst this is cooking, trim and slice the springonions, and finely chop the pepper into small cubes. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan, and add the mincedsteak. Sprinkle with 1 – 2 teaspoons of Cajun spice, dependingon taste (do remember you can keep adding more, but youcan’t take it back out!) Keeping the heat low to avoid burningthe meat, push it around the pan with a spatula or heatproofspoon to stop it from sticking, and clumping together. After 2 – 3 minutes, add half a teaspoon of Season all spice, adash of Worcester sauce and season well with rock salt and

ground black pepper. Throw in the spring onions and greenpepper, and continue to stir at regular intervals to prevent anysticking (you can add a little more oil if necessary, but the juicesfrom the meat should be enough to avoid this). Finely chop 6 –7 stems of coriander leaves and scatter in the frying pan.

Once the rice is cooked through (and remember, rice shouldbe soft, but still firm to the bite) rinse thoroughly with boilingwater from a kettle to prevent it from going cold, and thenreturn it to the saucepan.

Check the minced steak for taste, add more spices if necessary,and ensure the green pepper is cooked through beforetransferring to the saucepan with the rice. Stir thoroughly toensure the meat is distributed throughout, and add a sprinklingof Cajun spice at this stage if you want to hot it up further.

For the truly brave amongst you, add a few drops of Tabascosauce, sprinkle with any remaining chopped coriander, andserve.
