Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
On Thursday 8th February Classes 3 and 4 were invited to visit the new show homes at the Redrow housing development. Children from Class 4 cut the ribbon to open the homes and then explored the bedroom which has been designed using their artistic ideas. We were also grateful to be presented with a cheque for £250 towards school funds.
The article is now published on the Redrow Website and will be in the York Press.

On Friday 9th February Classes 2 and 4 visited Ripon Cathedral. They enjoyed a tour of the cathedral, and learned about the different parts of the building and the special services that take place there. Class 3 will also visit the cathedral after half term. All three classes are then creating artwork inspired by the cathedral to enter the Ripon Cathedral in Frame Competition.
On Wednesday 7th February we celebrated the end of our 'Around the World in 24 days' theme by having a Global afternoon. Each class chose a country and the children in that class wore clothes to represent the colours of their flag. At the start of the afternoon the children performed their Mardi Gras dances. The children then worked in house teams and did an activity and tried some food from each country. Class 1 chose Africa where the children performed Lion King dances, Class 2 chose Germany where the children made alpine hats, Class 3 chose Spain where the children learned Flamenco dancing and Class 4 chose Australia where the children designed boomerangs. The Lion King dances were so good that we had a ‘Flash Mob’ dance the next day on the school field, thank you to Mrs Taylor for helping us with this.
