Roast Dinner day - part of Food for Life
October 12th, 2011

One hundred and twenty five roast dinners served today at Monks' Dyke's Roast Dinner Day.
The Roast Dinner Day is all part of The Food for Life Project and children from all over the country will be sharing the experience. But why? What is the real significance of serving a cooked roast dinner and who - if anyone - is going to be helped? A number of invited guests were there to enjoy the menu and to give their insight into what all this means...

A very special visit - from Nigeria.
March 13th, 2011

At ebuddies, we know how strange it can seem to switch from the primary school to the secondary school.
Everything seems different, and it can be so confusing. Imagine what it must be like then to see a school in a different country, half way around the world.
Schools in the Louth area of Lincolnshire (UK) are working with schools - primary and secondary - in Uganda and Nigeria. The aim is to get children working alongside each other...at least on the Internet...and share best practice. Now, with the project well underway, some headteachers came from Nigeria to see what a UK classroom was really like. And they brought some dancers and drummers with them...

School sports day 2010. Banners, horns and hotdogs.
June 27th, 2010

The sun shone, the sky was blue and 15 coaches arrived outside Monks' Dyke Technology College on a Friday morning. The task: to move a school's population 15 miles or so down the road to the King George V Stadium in Grimsby. Banners, horns and hotdogs. It's a great annual event - taking part is celebrated, along with the occasional smashed track or event record. Quiet, it isn't...

The open evening and other stories…
October 14th, 2009

It's first time some primary school children get to look around The Big Schools at the open evenings. And let's not forget the parents who perhaps haven't been themselves for quite a long time. As part of the school liaison programme, the doors were open at Monks' Dyke Technology College in Louth, Lincolnshire, UK - the home of the e-buddies.
The children found that French had gone all digital and what's happened to domestic science since I was at school...Is that a fully-equipped hotel kitchen?
Vice Principal Ros Webber-Jones has no doubt how important such events are for everyone...

Not so scary after all
July 5th, 2009
The children from the local primary (elementary) schools are getting lost, learning French, making new friends and getting ready for the big switch to secondary education.
It's a busy couple of days for the Year Six children, used to small primary schools and teachers with them all day, every day. Now they face a big move in September, leaving some friends behind, but with an exciting list of new challanges before them. And it's the ebuddies at Monks' Dyke - the students that made that move just a few months before - that are on hand to make sure the younger children know exactly what will happen... It's Day Two of Induction Time and we get chance to hear what the young ones really think...
