Welcome!
Welcome to our new Reception children who have had a fabulous first few weeks in Class 1 at Spofforth School.
Years 1& 2 trip to Harlow Carr
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 1 trip to Harlow Carr
The children in Class 1 explored Harlow Carr recently as well as taking part in a “Signs of the Seasons”” workshop.
Crucial Crew
Years 5&6 across The Federation enjoyed a very informative morning at Crucial Crew on Monday 1st July. The children covered a wide range of subjects about staying safe including drugs, online safety, railway awareness, fire and vaping /smoking. Thank you to North Yorkshire Police and Harrogate College for hosting the event for the first time in 5 years and ensuring we knew where we were going!
Pro Ride
The children had a fantastic session with PRO RIDE in Reception and Year 1, learning how to navigate obstacles on balance bikes!
Class 1 at Spofforth
In Early Years this half term, the children have considered what they might like to do when they are older. They have spent time learning about different jobs that people do. We have had lots of visitors; a dance teacher, a footballer and a vet. We will also be welcoming a doctor, police officer, florist and air bag maker before the Summer!
Years 5&6 Residential
Pupils in years 5 and 6 from both Follifoot and Spofforth, enjoyed a fantastic residential visit to East Barnby near Whitby. The children enjoyed spending time with their friends across the federation, building confidence and friendships. They had the opportunity to take part in a variety of exciting activities such as beck scrambling, raft building, digital orienteering and exploring the seashore at Runswick Bay. They learnt how to search for fossils on the beach and one group even found a lobster in a rockpool! The children (and adults!) had a great week exploring a beautiful part of the world.
Sports Day at Spofforth School
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our children at Sports Day on Thursday 13th June. The weather was kind to us and everyone had a great morning. Thank you to the PTA for refreshments!
Year 6 Bikeability
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.
