Big Walk and Wheel

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

Mini Marathon

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.

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…

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.

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.

Mini Marathon

Our annual fund raising event, the Mini marathon, is due to take place in our Sports’ week; week beginning 21st June 2021.

Unfortunately this year our children will be taking part within their class bubbles without the usual parent supporters to cheer them on. The children will be running laps of a course set out within the school grounds and will be asking for sponsorship to raise money for school funds. They will have an hour to see how many laps they can do. They are able to walk or run during this time and will have access to a water station. The children will be bringing home sponsorship forms in due course. We do hope that you will support your child in this fun event. Thank you,Mrs Granger
