• Nepalese Choir Visit

  Fri 22 Mar 2019 J. Langley

  On Friday 22^nd March we hosted a visit from 20 Nepalese children, their teachers, and two members of the Harrogate Rotary Club. The children are visiting the UK as part of a project funded by the Rotary Club which will include a performance of the Monkey Boy concert at the Royal Hall in Harrogate, which our school choir will participate in.

  The children visited classrooms and took part in singing, clay modelling, rocket making and Chromebook work. They then enjoyed playtime with the Green Hammerton children. At 11am we had Collective Worship where Sumit the Nepalese Music Teacher taught us all a Namaste song. Two Year 6 children then read a prayer and Rev’d Sarah gave a blessing. We were also pleased to welcome Mr Atkinson who joined us for the worship.

  The Nepalese visitors were each presented with a pencil case designed by the Class 4 children and the Nepalese Schools gave Green Hammerton two beautiful plaques. The visitors then enjoyed lunch before heading off to their next school visit.

  We will all remember his morning for a very long time as the Nepalese children and their teachers were so smart, polite and grateful. Our children and staff thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and were amazed by their interest, small appetites and very quick maths skills!

  Thank you again to FOGHS who paid for the pencil cases and lunches.

  

• Go Karting

  Mon 18 Mar 2019 J. Langley

  On Saturday 16^th March Mrs Law and Miss Langley held our first ever Go Kart event. Three families braved the rain, two with fantastic home-made go karts and one family with toy go karts. We enjoyed time laps in the playground and down the drive. We then warmed up with hot chocolate and snacks and winners were announced for fastest go kart and best design.

• Open the Book

  Mon 04 Mar 2019 J.Langley

  Revd. Sarah is leading a project called Open the Book where community members tell Bible stories through drama in Collective Worship in school. On Saturday 26^th January a team of volunteers from the churches in our parish met with the York Youth Church (Yo-Yo) team to learn about the project. The teams will then lead Collective Worship in the schools in our parish. This is a wonderful opportunity for our churches to work on a joint project and we look forward to their first presentation.
