Dear Parents and Carers

We were lucky enough to receive £50 in book vouchers from Nunthorpe News. Our reading champions went to Guisborough book shop and choose two books each for our school library. Amaan, Ella, Imogen and Mia are very excited to share these with the other children in KS2. 

With kind regards

Mrs L Lidgard

The teams performed extremely well with the Year 2 Teams finishing 1st and 3rd, the Year 3/4 Teams finishing 1st and 3rd and the Year 6 team finishing 1st. Well done to all children who participated and a big thank you to Charlotte from Stainsby Gymnastics for helping us prepare.

Year 2 Trip to Saltholme 

On Monday 11th November, the Year 2 children visited Saltholme as part of their topic. The children had an excellent time exploring habitats and micro-habitats to find and identify mini-beasts. The children enjoyed pond dipping and finding out information about the mini-beats they found. Although it was a little bit cold and muddy, we still had an amazing time!

 
Year 5/6 Trip to Jorvik Centre, York  

Our Y5/6 children had a very informative and enjoyable day in York on Monday.  The highlights included an archaeological dig, a discussion with a Viking and a ride through the city 1200 years ago.  Many thanks to the parents for support this event.
