• Year 4 East Barnby Visit

  Wed 27 Mar 2019 Headteacher

  Wednesday 27th March

  8.25pm: A longer night's sleep last night!  We have all enjoyed our breakfast this morning: fruit juice, yoghurt, cereals, poached egg, bacon and baked beans.  Bags are all packed and we are setting off for shelter building shortly.  I will update the website later with the time of arrival back at Wheatcroft but it should be about 2.30pm. 

   

  Please don't park around the turning circle as the bus won't be able to get round to the layby. 

  1.40pm: Bus has left East Barnby and is scheduled to arrive at school at 2.30pm.

   

  Tuesday 26th March

  7.50am: A good night's sleep and all the children are tucking into their breakfast!

  4.45pm All safely back from our canoeing adventure after a wonderful day on the River Esk.  All groups did very well in their canoes and everyone enjoyed the slide down the weir at Ruswarp.  We spotted a heron on the way and when we arrived in Whitby harbour, a seal was swimming around!  We were sad to hear the tale of Derek the horse as we canoed under the old railway bridge.  See Photographs of canoeing

   

  9.15pm Everyone enjoyed the evening campfire which included plenty of singing and toasting marshmallows!  See photographs

  Supper finished and all the children in bed ready for their final day of adventure in the woods.  Packing has been completed and some children will be arriving back with a suitcase plus a black bin liner of assorted articles!

  Night night from East Barnby.

   

  Monday 25th March

  10.30am: We  arrived safely at East Barnby without anyone being sick on the bus!  Waterproofs and wellies have been tried on for size and the children are currently in their rooms making up their beds.

   

  6.15pm  Back from a fantastic afternoon of beck scrambling.  All the children showed courage as they tackled various challenges with many ending up with wellington boots full of water!

  Mrs Hillion's group and my group went on to the famous Looney Leap where children slide down a large boulder into a pool at the bottom! Lots and lots of courage shown doing this for most of the children in these groups plus one member of staff!

  Children are having their tea now and then sledging to come.  Weather has been perfect which is more than can be said for the quality of some of the bed making!

  7.10pm Tuck shop.

  10.15pm: All tucked up in bed after a very enjoyable sledging session on the dry ski slope - see photographs.

  Hot chocolate and biscuits for supper made by Mrs Woodall have helped settle everyone for a good night's sleep. Mulgrave dormitory have also had a bedtime story which seems to have worked!

  The 5-1 football result has helped some children relax before bedtime!

  The River Esk awaits in the morning ...

• Y6 performance@SJT

  Thu 21 Mar 2019 Headteacher

  Our Year 6 class put on an amazing performance of their own play based on the theme of Freedom at Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre this afternoon.  Mrs Thompson, Mrs Sweeney-Chisholm and Mrs Woodall have been working with the class on their scripts, music and choreography since December to bring all their ideas together.

  A big thank you to all the families who came and supported the class and to our Year 5 class who walked down from school to watch them.

  Thank you to our school governors who support this unique opportunity for our Year 6 pupils and of course to all the staff involved over the last few months for their hard work.

• Red Nose Day 2019

  Fri 15 Mar 2019 Headteacher

  The whole school enjoyed this year's Comic Relief (Red Nose) day by having a bad hair day and bringing in cakes/biscuits to sell.  There were some very creative and colourful hair designs by pupils and staff! 

  Two years ago, we made £190 but this year thanks to the amazing effort by so many families, we have raised a massive £335.81.

  THANK YOU EVERYONE!

   

  

• World Book Day 2019

  Thu 07 Mar 2019 S. Earle

  We all enjoyed a wonderful World book Day 2019. The theme was 'Reading to relax' and children were encouraged to bring in a favourite story and an item to help them relax (such as a teddy, blanket or small cushion)

  We began our day with a story in the hall with Mrs Earle and then the older children read to the younger children of the school. Our session was rounded off with a relaxing sing song with Miss Andrews.
