Follifoot News

Class 1 at Spofforth have been building a pretend bonfire today and enjoyed real hot chocolates. Everyone had a great time, including Mrs Holland!

Follifoot’s Harvest Festival at the church was full of joyful singing and thought-provoking words.  Thank you to all who were able to attend and for the generous donations to the Harrogate Homeless Project.

This week the EYFS children have learnt about the artist Yayoi Kusama and her love of spotty pumpkins! We painted pumpkins and added our own spots!

Meet Follifoot’s worship team!
We help to deliver collective worship in school. We plan and lead an assembly every half term based on our Christian and British values.

Well done Teams Follifoot and Spofforth!
Excellent performances this morning for our KS2 teams in a Football Festival run by Sporting Influence. The children showed determination, teamwork and perseverance across all their games.

Welcome to our new Reception children who have had a fabulous first few weeks in Class 1 at Spofforth School.

Years 1&2 across The Federation had a lovely time at Harlow Carr on Wednesday 17th July- and the sun was shining. We had a great time exploring, foraging to make our own birds nests and also looked at all the different minibeasts that can be found.

Class 2 were out in the garden yesterday afternoon as part of our science topic on habitats and living things. We learnt to pond dip and then looked at all the living things in and around the pond. We found: leeches, fresh water shrimp, water louse, blood worms and water fleas. We know we have a frog in there too, but unfortunately we didn’t see that! We also finished of the ‘Bug Hotel’ that class 1 started.

A busy, fun and delicious Wednesday for years 5 and 6. As part of out DT unit ‘Come dine with me’, the children used lots of lovely fresh produce from the school garden to create a range of starters and mains. The results were fantastic and it was very rewarding to have planted the vegetables last half term and harvested them this week.
