Football Match Reports!

Our Y5/6 football teams were in action again this week and played against Osbaldwick Primary School on Tuesday. The players enjoyed a pre-match motivational chat with Mr Sellers at lunchtime and they left ready for action! We had two matches and the first was a very competitively fought event. Charlie in Year 6 providing the team with a brilliant performance in his first appearance for the school this year. Many chances and lots of superb teamwork made for a great watch. We missed having a couple in the team through injury but the players worked very hard and showed true resilience. They also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play against another school. We did unfortunately come away with a 2-1 defeat but Mr  Sellers was very proud of their commitment. The second match was also a very close game and full of goals which is always exciting to watch! The team stuck together and battled to a 4 all draw.

A superb evening of football and thank you to all the parents who provided lifts and support for the children.

KS2 Musical Opportunity

We’ve teamed up with York Music Forum to start a brand-new musical activity at Dunnington C.E. Primary after Autumn Half Term… the pBuzz Band! A pBuzz is a colourful plastic wind instrument that is so much fun to play and can lead on to playing any brass instrument. YMF will lend your child a pBuzz to bring home and practice.

pBuzz Band sessions will be on Thursdays immediately after school for children in KS2 and only cost £5 per session. Once your child has got to grips with playing a pBuzz there will an opportunity to move on to 1-2-1 brass instrument tuition. pBuzz Band sessions will be led by YMF Director, Ian Chalk, who you might know as the trumpet player in York-based party band ‘HUGE’.

Click here to get more information about our pBuzz Band and to register your child for sessions. Should there be a large number of children registering, we will look at the possibility of running more than one group.

Mr Chalk is also available in school and in his home studio for brass instrumental tuition. Contact him directly should you wish for your child to start learning an instrument: [email protected]. For further information on instrumental tuition, please see our Performing Arts Newsletter.Miss Dunn
