News from December 2024

This week was very special as our children, many parents/carers and other members of our school community came together in Church for our annual Crib service. As always, the children were a real credit in terms of their singing, readings and confidence. Well done to everyone!

Thank you to those who were able to join us for the Crib Service at Follifoot. It was a fantastic team effort showcasing the talent of our wonderful children. This included acting, singing, rapping, reading and a variety of musical instruments. It was a beautiful celebration of the festive period.

Christmas lunch was enjoyed by everyone this week. We had delicious food served by Peter and Mr Lines.

Finley from Spofforth School, won the Jubilee Award yesterday and his name is up in Wetherby Town Hall. He was nominated by Beavers for helping his Dad during a medical emergency last year and going to get the neighbours. We are so proud of him for showing excellent maturity! 

An enchanting visit brought the magic of C.S. Lewis’ beloved tale to life through drama teachers from Leeds Playhouse who visited Follifoot and Spofforth Primary School on Tuesday 10th December. The teacher’s ran an immersive workshop with the children, guiding them through the wondrous world of Narnia.
The staff in the schools expressed their delight at the unique educational opportunity: Seeing the children’s faces light up as they interacted with their favourite characters from Narnia was absolutely magical. After reading the book with the children this term, this workshop has inspired our students and is such a wonderful event for the children in the run up to Christmas.

The Year 5 children loved Cafe Church yesterday. Rev Barbara and her team organised juice and cake for them. The children sang a few Christmas songs for everyone and even took some special requests! 

The children had great fun making Christmas Ginger Bread houses at Construction Club yesterday. Thank you so much Chrissy and Mrs Milson!

Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came to the Class 2 workshop at Spofforth on Monday 2nd December.  They enjoyed making Autumn and Christmas Suncatchers.

Class 2 at Spofforth had a visit from PCSO Booth on Friday 6th December, learning all about road safety. 

The children in Class 1 had fun decorating the Christmas tree in the school hall this morning. Thank you to the Roberts family for their kind donation.
