We are taking part in Sustrans Big Pedal 2021, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 19 April to 30 April. 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.
Sustrans Big Pedal 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. Covid-19 has made active travel to school is even more important. The Department for Education have said encouraging active travel to school helps “to enable pupils to be physically active while encouraging physical distancing.”
Partnership, Virtual Tri-Golf Competition.
We have been asked to step up for a Challenge! We are looking for pupils to take part in a virtual competition. For this challenge, you will need a towel, balance, coordination and stamina!
The children enjoyed a visit from a Judo Instructor who demonstrated the modern Japanese martial art, which is designed to train both body and mind. Children learnt that Judo, meaning ‘gentle way’, is an alternative method of enjoying exercise and keeping fit.
8 children in Class 2 took part in a Rapid Fire Cricket Competition at Archbishop Holgate’s School on Wednesday. At the event, which was organised by Yorkshire Cricket, they enjoyed playing friendly and fun matches against several other schools from the area. Well done to all the children that took part in this sporting event.
Our Year 2 children are invited to take part in a skipping festival to be held at Fulford School in July (details to follow). They are currently receiving training so that they are competent skippers. There are skipping ropes for sale in the office, priced at £5.00, if you want to skip at home!
We are delighted to welcome applications for our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
