Please let Mrs Greening in the office know as soon as possible if your child is interested in the Chess Club as we may need to cancel this if there is not enough interest.
The School Council would like to raise money to buy some new football nets. They have been working alongside Hannah from Phunky Foods as their role as Phunky Food Ambassadors. They have already produced a short video to tell the Phunky Food what they would like to do to promote healthy living within school.
On Monday 19th June, they would like you to make a voluntary contribution to wear your favourite sporty outfit to school. (Suggested donation of £1-2.)
Any money they make will be matched by funds from the PE budget. They do hope you will support their plans.
We are all looking forward to Sports Week, week beginning 19th June. Please remember to have a full PE kit and a water bottle in school. During this week the children will be able to join in with a range of exciting activities including: a climbing wall, rugby inflatable and dance workshops.
We will also be holding our Sports’ Day on Tuesday 20th June at 1:15pm. The children will be taking part in races and then working in teams to complete a series of activities. Spectators will be welcome. A stand will be present from Phunky Foods.
On Friday 23rd June at 2pm, we will be holding our Mini Marathon. The Mini Marathon is our annual school fundraiser, look out for sponsorship forms to help us raise money for school fund. Parents/carers are invited to cheer their child on in this event!

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

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

Our annual school fund raiser will soon be here – Elvington’s Mini Marathon is due to take place in our Sports Week (week beginning 20th June 2022). This year, we are thankfully in a position to be able to invite parents/carers along to support this event.
The children will be running laps of a course set out within the school grounds, and will be asking to be sponsored (all funds will go to Elvington’s PTA). Children will have half an hour to see how many laps they can complete. They are able to walk or run during this time and will have access to a water station.
Sponsorship forms will be sent via email on Monday 13th June.
