Message from the PTA

Summer Fair – Sat 25th June 11-1 pm – HELP NEEDED!

Without parent volunteers to man a stall for an hour or help in the kitchen, the Summer Fair will not be able to take place and raise the vital extra funds so desperately needed! Please can people volunteer for either 11-12 noon or 12-1 pm and/or set up before (10-11 am) and clear up afterwards (1-2 pm).

If you can spare the time then please email [email protected] or let a member of the PTA know.

Thanks in advance!PTA Committee

Cricketing News

The Y3/4 cricket team had a fantastic afternoon at Dunnington cricket club in the inter schools’ tournament. The children were a real credit to themselves and to the school, showing great teamwork, encouragement and sportsmanship throughout. In their first match they played Stockton on the Forest and finished with a comprehensive win 133 runs to 38. In their second and final match vs Hempland the game was much more even. Again, the boys and girls fielded really well and did brilliantly to come out as winners in a very close match ending 87 to 86! They now progress to the regional finals on Tuesday 21st June at York Cricket Club. A huge thank you to Mr Robinson for coaching and looking after the team.

The Y5/6 cricket team also took part in the York cricket finals at Dunnington Cricket Club on Wednesday. The boys all represented our school with a fabulous display of skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. We played 3 games in the qualifying round and beat Badger Hill, Hempland and Naburn very convincingly. Wickets were taken through excellent bowling and superb fielding, including a few diving catches! We then faced Osbaldwick in the semi -final and again, showed true team spirit with a good win! This meant we faced Naburn in the final and with some superb action on the field and great support from parents, we won and are through to the Regional finals. A super day and so nice to be back enjoying competitive sport against other schools!

Summer Term Menu

I am pleased to inform you that Karen Snaith, our school cook, will return to preparing our school meals next week (w/c 13-6-22). We will therefore return to the NYCC menu which you can find below. Next week will be Week 1 on the menu.

I am incredibly grateful to the kitchen staff at Fulford School and North Yorkshire County Caterers for supporting us and ensuring the continuity of a high-quality service throughout the past few months – I was a little worried at one point that I would need to put my apron on!!Mrs Hancy

Terrific Triathletes!

Some of our KS2 children were lucky enough to take part in the Brownlee Mini Triathlon at York Sport!

The Brownlee Foundation events have been set up by Alistair and Jonny so they can give something back to the community. This event at York Sport gave Key Stage 2 pupils from schools across York an opportunity to try the disciplines of the triathlon – swimming 50m in the pool, cycling 800m on grass and running 300m – with every child receiving a t-shirt beforehand and a medal and goody bag when they crossed the finish line.
