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

The Christian Value we are particularly focusing on this half term is Perseverance.
There’s the old adage that says, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” This captures the essence of perseverance. When things get hard, and often they do, it is the persistence and determination to carry on that ultimately brings success. As Headteacher at Elvington I firmly believe that your children can achieve anything they want, if they are prepared to keep trying, keep trying and keep trying. Various studies have shown that perseverance is an essential quality for success in life. In fact, perseverance often tops aptitude and raw talent.
Persevering entails effort and practice. This half term, we will be talking to the children about persevering and believing in themselves. We will remind them just how important a ‘growth mindset’ is and celebrate their determination and willingness to always be their best. This is highlighted by the display in the hall, which includes contributions from all five of Elvington’s classes.
“And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2
It would be wonderful to see a large proportion of the children taking part in the home-school challenge. You can explore this value at home using the attached resource.
