Our Year 2 children are invited to take part in a skipping festival to be held at Fulford School in July (details to follow). They are currently receiving training so that they are competent skippers. There are skipping ropes for sale in the office, priced at £5.00, if you want to skip at home!

As part of our physical education provision, we would like to hear your opinions on the after school activities that are currently on offer, as well as about your child’s swimming experience. This will enable us to cater for children’s interests in the future, and to fulfil our statutory requirement to publish our swimming statistics.

Your answers will remain anonymous: all we ask is that you specify which Key Stage your child is currently in.

The questionnaire can be found on SurveyMonkey and a link has been emailed to families; if you encounter any issues please contact Miss Shepherd in the school office. 

Last night 10 pupils in Y3/4 took part in the Kwik Cricket competition at Fulford secondary school. Miss Palmer has spoken very highly of the children who represented our school and I am delighted to hear they all demonstrated exceptional teamwork. Very well done.

Tomorrow morning we are looking forward to a visit from the British Judo Association. Every child will take part in a half hour taster session. We are looking forward to it already.

We are very proud to have been awarded the School Games Silver award for our excellent work in school sports!

We had our first football match of the year against St. Mary’s this week. The team worked incredibly hard as a team, lining up passes for each other, playing with great control and determination.

This resulted in a well-deserved 2-0 win for Elvington!

An amazing effort!
