Spofforth News

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!

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!

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.

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!

On Wednesday 13th March, Years 3 and 4 from across The Federation visited The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. To consolidate the children’s learning about ‘Sculpture’ during Art and Design in school, they had the opportunity to explore the park and take part in a workshop with an artist.

Children across The Federation had a fantastic day full of sharing stories and talking about books.

Class 2 at Spofforth have been learning about Sculptures in art. We explored using clay and learning techniques such as flattening, smoothing, creating shapes and making marks. We created our own sculptures inspired by the artist Anthony Gormley who created a field of sculptures. We made a Spofforth class 2 field! They were so enthusiastic!
