• Attendance Party Winners

  Thu 22 Jul 2021 Headteacher

  Today, 106 of our pupils (half of the whole school) received attendance certificates to mark their achievement for attending school more than 98% over the last year.  Forty nine pupils achieved 100% attendance up to the 16th July which is fantastic and much higher than usual.  Miss Andrews' Year 4 class won the class summer term attendance party with attendance of 97.03% - well done!

  Over this Covid pandemic year, at the times when school was closed or pupils were having to isolate, the government coded pupils as attending when they were working on home learning.

  Pupils enjoyed an outside party with cake!

  Congratulations to all the pupils. 

  

• Y6 Children's University Graduation

  Thu 15 Jul 2021 Headteacher

  This afternoon, representatives from the Children's University came to school to present Year 6 pupils with their graduation certificates as well participating in full gowns.

  In total 24/30 of our Year 6 pupils graduated which considering the Lockdown over the last 16 months is a fantastic achievement.  The scheme works by the children acquiring learning hours from the beginning of Year 5 to the end of Year 6. These learning hours have to be chosen by the children in a wide variety of ways (sport, music clubs, visiting museums, community work) and they have to opt in to the activity.  We think this is a key lesson for future life and prepares pupils for being life long learners.

• KS1 and EYFS Sports Days

  Thu 15 Jul 2021 Headteacher

  Bluebells, Year 1 and Year 2 classes thoroughly enjoyed their sports day this morning in perfect summer weather.  For Year 1 and Bluebells, it was their first ever school sports day and all the children participated so well.  

  Bluebells had their sports day first and rotated around different activities on the school field and new MUGA and then ran in races at the end.  Year 1 and 2 had more activities and also ran sprint races as well.  In addition, for the first time, all Year 1 pupils decided they wanted to run the lap (long race) having been inspired watching all the Year 2 pupils run it.  Fantastic achievement shown - well done to all our pupils.

  A big thank you to our Year 5 pupils who coached and scored all the events this morning and Mr Collins who set up and organised all the events.

• KS2 Sports Day

  Wed 14 Jul 2021 Headteacher

  It is two years since we were last able to celebrate Sports Days in school so today felt like a real celebration.  

  Because of still keeping our classes in bubbles, Year 3 and Year 4 had their sports day in the morning with Year 6 sports ambassadors supporting our four house teams: Holbeck, Deepdale, Cornelian and Seaview followed by Year 5 and Year 6 in the afternoon with Year 4 pupils scoring the events. 

  For the first hour, the teams moved round different activities including: long jump, vortex throw, sponge pass, skipping relay. golf target, slalom relay, space hopper relay, obstacle course, cricket, hurdle relays, egg and spoon, tennis relay and penalty shoot out. 

  The second half consisted of running events - sprint and the lap.

  Our four classes competed really well and showed endeavour in all the events. Deepdale were crowned winners and two Y6 pupils were presented with the Sports Jubilee cup. Cornelian finished in second place with  1159, Holbeck in third place with 1083 points and Seaview in fourth place with 1046 points.  We are looking forward to our Key Stage 1 classes and Early Years class doing their Sports Day tomorrow. 

  I am so sorry that we were not able to have families on site to support today but look forward to welcoming everyone again next year. 

  

• July update

  Fri 09 Jul 2021 Headteacher

  Dear Parent/Carer

  July is a very busy month in school as we finish off topics as well as having lots of extra opportunities for sports and off site visits.

  Over the last few weeks, our Year 4 class have enjoyed three visits to carry out science work on the South Bay beach, Year 5 have visited the art gallery and South Bay beach and Bluebells class (EYFS) have visited Playdale Farm . Over the last two weeks of the term,, Year 3 will be visiting the beach as part of their science topic on food, Year 6 will be learning to surf at Cayton Bay, EYFS will visit the Shuttleworth (Fairy) gardens and Year 1 are having a history visit to Scarborough Castle.  We are very pleased that despite many other restrictions being in place this year, we have been able to carry out off site visits which we know our pupils love participating in.
