Spofforth News

The children had a fantastic session with PRO RIDE in Reception and Year 1, learning how to navigate obstacles on balance bikes!

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!

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.

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!
