Sports Week Overview

Children throughout school have enjoyed a range of activities as part of our Sports Week. Here’s an overview of the week:

Climbing Wall Experience

Children in KS1 & KS2 enjoyed a very special experience day, as they were able to attempt ascending a state of the art climbing wall. Trained instructors were on hand to keep children safe and ensure everyone enjoyed
the experience, which they clearly did. Climbing is one of the fastest growing sporting activities. It simultaneously develops coordination, strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, important life skills like problem-solving, goal-setting, perseverance, inner confidence and patience were developed. To quote Lydia, “I was so proud of myself for getting to the top – it was great exercise and an amazing experience!”

Sports Day

We had our annual Sports Day (in class bubbles) on Tuesday. It was great to see the effort and sportsmanship the children displayed. Unfortunately, COVID-19 restrictions prevented us from inviting parents/carers.

Mini Marathon

Lots of laps were completed as part of Wednesday’s Mini Marathon – thank you for your sponsorship of this event. Money raised from this event will help to fund some of the exciting events the school provides for the children. You can still download a copy of the sponsor form here, or please contact Mrs. Greening should you require a paper copy of the sponsorship form.

Skate Park

Sadly, due to the inclement weather, the skate park on Friday 25th June has had to be cancelled.  It is now scheduled to take place on Wednesday 30th June. Please check your child’s class Twitter feed… 

 

Elvington PTA at the Village Fete

Elvington PTA will be running a raffle stall at the Village Fete this summer. Any donations will be gratefully received. Prizes can be dropped off with Mrs Greening at the school reception, by 7th July please. All proceeds from the event will be used to assist pay for additional fun and educational resources/visits for the children. Many thanks for your continued support,

Mini Marathon Sponsorship Form

During our annual Sports Week which begins on Monday June 21st, all pupils will be taking part in our annual fundraising event: The Mini Marathon. Unfortunately this year, parents will be unable to support this event by attending and children will be running within their class bubbles. All monies raised will support the improvement of school resources.

CHILDREN: ONLY ASK PEOPLE YOU KNOW TO BE SPONSORS- DO NOT GO ‘KNOCKING ON DOORS’

Please can all sponsor money be returned to the class teacher by Tuesday 6th July 2021. Many thanks for all your support.
