• Jubilee Celebrations

  Thu 26 May 2022

  This week we have been celebrating the Diamond Jubilee. We use the 5 ways to well being in our school to help us stay healthy physically and mentally. The Queen has lived a long and healthy life and has also used the 5 ways to well being. To commemorate this special occasion we have taken part in 5 different activities to stay healthy. 

  Give - We did a sponsored bounce to raise money for The British Legion 

  Keep Learning - We have all learnt a new skill this week from tying shoelaces to origami to speaking Spanish. 

  Be Active - We took part in a cardio tennis session at the Galtres Centre. 

  Take Notice - We have done some mindfulness activities such as yoga and some calming art activities. 

  Connect - For the first time in a long time, we got to spend time as a school community when we held our family picnic this afternoon. It was so good to back together again to celebrate. 

   

  

• East Barnby Residential

  Fri 20 May 2022

  Our Year 4 children have had a fantastic time at East Barnby on their very first residential. They have learnt how to body board and complete an orienteering course. They have also developed their resilience and a love of the Great Outdoors when exploring the seashore and hiking up Roseberry Topping. They have certainly become more independent as they have had to look after their own belongings, keep their rooms tidy and help to set up and clear away in the dining room. 

  

• Young Voices

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  Oh what a night! For the first time, the whole of KS2 took part in Young Voices at Sheffield Arena. We had an amazing time and got to see street dancers, beat boxers, singers from The Voice as well as rehearse for our very own show! When the lights went down and we started performing, it was a very magical moment. All of our hard work in learning the songs paid off, we sounded like a professional choir. We can't wait to go again!

• Christmas Church Service

  Fri 17 Dec 2021

  We all enjoyed our Christmas service in church this morning. It helped us to remember the true meaning of Christmas and to be grateful for what we have. We were complimented by Revd. Young for our brilliant behaviour and excellent manners. Well done to everybody and to our readers who did a fantastic job. 

  

• KS1 Production

  Fri 17 Dec 2021

  Well done to our KS1 staff and children who put on a fantastic Christmas performance at the Galtres Centre. It was so good to be back and it really got us in the mood for the festive season. The singing and solos were beautiful and the children spoke their lines loudly and clearly.

  We were presented with a cheque for £6809.33 in assembly last week! Annie Gledhill from the Co-Op came into assembly to present the cheque which has been raised by local residents and families at the school through the Local Community Fund Project. The funds will go towards building a Multi Use Games Area to improve sporting facilities at the school. Thank you to everybody who nominated us as their local charity and everybody at the Co-Op for their continued support of the school.

  The Mini Leaders have been busy making and delivering harvest boxes over the last few weeks with all of the produce that was donated. The residents of Easingwold who received one were very pleased with their special delivery! 

  

• Tree Planting at Easingwold Cricket Club

  Thu 18 Nov 2021

  Myself and Miss Mossop had the pleasure of accompanying the Year 5 children to the cricket club this week to take part in a tree planting event. We even managed to get a brief piece on BBC Look North! The children witnessed a weeping cherry tree being planted as part of the Queen's Canopy Project to celebrate her upcoming Platinum Jubilee and then planted 120 tree saplings that will eventually grow to form a hedge providing much needed habitat for wildlife. They enjoyed refreshments provide by the WI and had a talk from the Woodland Trust volunteers about the importance of trees. The school were presented with a tree to plant on site and the cricket club planted a tree for us with a Woodland Trust to thank us for helping. 

   

  Throughout the whole event, I received many compliments from the adults attending about how polite, courteous and friendly our children are, myself and Miss Mossop were super proud. Well done Year 5, and thank you. In years to come, you will be able to watch the tree and hedge grow and remember this special event.
