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

Trust – Summer Term 2023

The Christian Value we are particularly focusing on this half term is Trust.

Christians around the world look to Jesus to help shape how they live their lives.  Indeed, the bible describes how Jesus spent a lot of time with his disciples and others.  Through his teaching and example, he demonstrated to his disciples how each of them could and should love themselves, others, the world and God.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5: 14-16

Jesus set the disciples a mission – to shine brightly in the world. This is a call which inspired the very first disciples and continues to inspire billions of Christians across the world today. Christians believe that all have a key part to play in creating a world where all can flourish – all life, not just humanity; this is God’s wish. A clear ‘to do’ list and a ‘to be’ list.

On Saturday 6th May, King Charles III will be crowned. The Coronation is a symbolic religious service which, for over 900 years, has taken place at Westminster Abbey. The service is led by the Archbishop of Canterbury (the most senior bishop in the Church of England). Through the service, the new monarch expresses what they would like to ‘do’ and ‘be’ as they rule.

It would be wonderful to see a large proportion of the children taking part in the home-school challenge.
