Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
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 26th 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 was a wonderful opportunity for our churches to work on a joint project and we look forward to their first presentation.
On Tuesday 5th March the Yo-Yo team led a day of workshops and Collective Worship in school focusing on Lent. Some members of the Open the book team visited to see the project in action.
On Thursday 11th April we had our first Open the Book Worship. Five members of the team bravely acted out the Palm Sunday story from the Lion Story Teller Bible. The children had made palm leaves with Mr Atkinson in the morning and used them during the story. This was such a fun way to share the story and we are very much looking forward to the next one!
On Thursday 11th April the Rock Steady groups performed to their families and to the school, with Alana their leader. Everyone was very impressed by the singing and playing. Rock Steady lessons will be on Tuesday afternoons after Easter.
The choir performed in the Monkey Boy concert in the Royal Hall in Harrogate. The first half consisted of Disney songs and performances from the Nepalese children. In the second half we performed the Monkey Boy musical which had been specially written to tell the Nepalese Folk Story.
We held our Easter Service this week. Each class performed a poem, reading or song. The choir sang one of their songs from the Monkey Boy concert and the Year 5 and 6 brass group performed Yellow Chick. The Year 5 and 6 children then performed the drama that they had written with the Yo Yo team and children from each class read thoughtful prayers. Thank you to Rev’d Sarah for supporting our service and to everyone who came to join us. We collected £50.51 for the Ryan’s Well Foundation who ask for money to be collected in watering cans.
On Friday 5th April FOGHS held an Easter Treasure Hunt and Teas after school. This was a really busy event and it was lovely to see families completing the trail and then enjoying refreshments. Thank you to FOGHS for organising such a lovely event and for their continued support to the school.
This year we will took part in the Big Pedal and it was lovely to see so many children to cycling or scooting to school. We managed 1079 journeys by cycling, scooting or walking which with a daily score of 64.5% and 58.63% for supporters – well done!
