Follifoot News

As part of their Science topic ‘Living things and their habitats’ Class 1 spent the afternoon in the garden building a bug hotel, with the added benefit that it will keep all the newly planted fruit and vegetables safe from being eaten by aphids! The children searched for and grouped different materials including bark, pot, leaves and logs. They also measured, cut out and rolled up pieces of cardboard to make a home for lacewings.
Big thankyou to Chrissie who organised the activity and all the materials. The garden is looking wonderful and the children learnt lots while having an amazing time!

We are very proud of the year 6s across The Federation, who took part in Bikeability over week commencing 4th June. They all completed Levels 1 and 2 which involved learning how to manoeuvre and signal safely around Follifoot and Spofforth villages.

Follifoot and Spofforth had a brilliant time at Ro-icket. The children played so well and showed some fab sporting attitudes. Follifoot came joint first and Spofforth came joint second. Well done everybody!

Class 3 at Follifoot have been working hard in the School Garden. In preparation for our cooking project next term, we have planted a range of seeds and plants which we can then harvest. This includes pak choi, lettuce, spinach, radish, carrots, broccoli and herbs. We are excited to see what grows and what delicious dishes we can create!

Year 6’s at Follifoot School are enjoying a delicious breakfast organised by Mrs Bromley before their SATs tests each morning this week!

On Tuesday 7th May, children from Years 3&4 across The Federation visited The Royal Armouries.
The children have been learning about Ancient Greece in history. Whilst at the Armouries, they took part in Agoge Spartan training and a workshop on the myth of Perseus and Medusa. They also had some time to explore the galleries.

Please help us collect milk bottle lids!

Another successful egg rolling event took place at Follifoot School on Wednesday 20th March. Well done to all the children who took part, and to those who won a ‘Real Easter Egg’.

Big thanks to the year 5 and 6 girls at Follifoot and year 6 girls at Spofforth who were in the netball finals on Tuesday 19th March at Ashville School against 4 or 5 other schools. They played so well and had such a fun time and a HUGE congratulations to Spofforth who won the finals!
