Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
On Wednesday 27th June we held our Sports Day. We were fortunate to have a cooler start to the day followed by sunshine. All children took part in running, beanbag on head, egg and spoon and obstacle races. There was even a toddler race! Thank you to FOGHS who provided lovely refreshments for everyone.
In the afternoon children worked in their house teams and tried four activities, archery, nerf throwing, netball targets and den building. The den building activity was part of Save the Children Den Day and we will send a donation to the charity. Thank you to Mrs Law and Mrs Taylor for organising a super day.
The winning house team for the whole day was Ash – well done!”
On Tuesday 26th June we held our first Summer Music Evening. The choir and recorder groups performed and lots of children played the piano. We were very impressed by the standard of playing and singing and it was a very enjoyable evening.
Tony and Marion from York Youth Church (Yo Yo) visited school to lead a Collective Worship and classroom workshops focusing on the Bible story Jonah and the Whale. The Yo Yo team always bring warmth and positivity to school and help us explore Bible stories in a fun and interactive way.
Everyone wore blue clothes to celebrate World Ocean Day. We also welcomed Power Down Pete who led a whole school assembly and workshops in classes to help us learn about the impact plastic has on the ocean. The Eco Council are now looking at ways of reducing the use of plastic in school.
All of our Key Stage 2 children took part in the cluster sports day at Great Ouseburn which was organised by Mrs Taylor and Sporting Start. The children entered many events and we had great success in the lacrosse and rounders competitions.
On Wednesday 23rd May we held a family picnic at lunchtime. Mrs Cook and Mrs Tennant did a brilliant job of providing lovely lunch bags, and some families chose to bring their own picnic. We were very fortunate to have warm weather, and it was lovely to see so many families enjoying a picnic together on the school field.
