Spofforth News

Thank you so much to everyone who sent in donations for our fundraising day on Friday 26th January. We were blown away with how enthusiastic the children were and how independently they ran their stalls. They interacted with all the children across the school brilliantly and managed to raise an amazing £287 for the Harrogate Homeless Project!! This is a huge achievement, especially as most of the items sold were only charged at 50p. It was fantastic to see them working together and taking responsibility in order to support such a worthy cause. We were very proud of all of them. Well done Class 4!”

Class 3 at Spofforth have had an amazing start to their DT topic. They explored making different structures using marshmallow and cocktail sticks.

We are so proud of KS2 for their superb attitude and effort in the Cross Country competition. Despite the weather, the children rose to the challenge and performed brilliantly! As well as trying their best when running, the children were supportive and kind towards each other.

The bucket which is kept on the counter at Spofforth Shop was allocated to Spofforth Primary School in December, and the total collected was generously doubled by the owner of the shop John Singh.

The Reception and Nursery children of Spofforth and Follifoot Federation performed The Nativity with great enthusiasm and excitement. All 3 performances were a great success!

We had a great time on Friday 17th November for Children In Need! We saw some wonderfully spotty outfits, played some fun spotty games and ate lots of spotty buns! Well done to everyone who took part in the Bearpee Challenge. Every class reached their 1000 Bearpee target! Thank you all for taking part and bringing in cakes. We have raised a grand total of £394.85!
If you have sponsor money to bring in, please do so by the end of the week (Friday 1st December).

Spofforth school had a great day on Friday 20th October raising awareness of DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). We wore lots of purple and yellow and School Council gave a wonderful assembly telling us all about DLD.

Years 5 and 6 across the Federation enjoyed their visit to Eden Camp. The children were respectful and interested; learning all about World War 2 and asking lots of questions.

Years 5 and 6 across the federation attended a High Five Netball tournament organised by Sporting Influence. We had a great morning with Spofforth finishing first and Follifoot second.
