Wear your sporty outfit day!
The School Council would like to raise money to buy some new football nets. They have been working alongside Hannah from Phunky Foods as their role as Phunky Food Ambassadors. They have already produced a short video to tell the Phunky Food what they would like to do to promote healthy living within school.
On Monday 19th June, they would like you to make a voluntary contribution to wear your favourite sporty outfit to school. (Suggested donation of £1-2.)
Any money they make will be matched by funds from the PE budget. They do hope you will support their plans.

Message from Tennis Coach
Dear Parents,
Click to visit the Down The Line website
Ian and I have really enjoyed our time at Elvington Primary. We have been really impressed by the children who we found to be so polite, enthusiastic and great fun! Some of the children really seemed to enjoy the tennis coaching that they had and we would love to see them again. We are based at Down the Line Tennis Academy at York St John University Sports Park on Haxby Road. There is lots going on which you may like your child to get involved with. For any children wishing to join us for tennis camp over May Half Term we’d like to offer them Members Rates as an initial welcome to the academy. Tennis camp takes place 30th May until 2nd June 9am-12pm for ages 5-10. We can provide tennis racquets if needed. Should you wish to discuss your child starting to do some tennis sessions during term time or indeed camp with us (either over half term or the summer holidays) then my email is info@downthelinetennis.co.uk. We look forward to coming back next year to teach possibly some of their siblings.
Kind regardsNicky Moss, Down the Line Tennis Academy, Tennis manager/LTA Level 3 Coach

Big Walk and Wheel
We’re taking part in Sustrans Big Pedal event 2023, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 20th to 31st March 2023, it’s free and we would love everyone to be involved. We would like to encourage your child(ren) to take active journeys to school on as many days as possible during the event, and join them on their way. You can scooter, cycle or walk. If you have to travel by car because of where you live, you could always park a short distance away from school to still take part. Or your child can walk several laps of the playground as they enter the school grounds. Walk to School Week is a great way to get children active, which is important for physical health and mental wellbeing. Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. THANK YOU
