Spofforth News

The bucket which is kept on the counter at Spofforth Shop was allocated to Spofforth Primary School in December, and the total collected was generously doubled by the owner of the shop John Singh.

The Reception and Nursery children of Spofforth and Follifoot Federation performed The Nativity with great enthusiasm and excitement. All 3 performances were a great success!

We had a great time on Friday 17th November for Children In Need! We saw some wonderfully spotty outfits, played some fun spotty games and ate lots of spotty buns! Well done to everyone who took part in the Bearpee Challenge. Every class reached their 1000 Bearpee target! Thank you all for taking part and bringing in cakes. We have raised a grand total of £394.85!
If you have sponsor money to bring in, please do so by the end of the week (Friday 1st December).

Spofforth school had a great day on Friday 20th October raising awareness of DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). We wore lots of purple and yellow and School Council gave a wonderful assembly telling us all about DLD.

Years 5 and 6 across the Federation enjoyed their visit to Eden Camp. The children were respectful and interested; learning all about World War 2 and asking lots of questions.

Years 5 and 6 across the federation attended a High Five Netball tournament organised by Sporting Influence. We had a great morning with Spofforth finishing first and Follifoot second.

Spofforth School Council have done an absolutely fantastic job at fundraising for our chosen charity, Open Arms Malawi. The whole school enjoyed a fun filled Mini Summer Fayre, with tasty cakes, lucky dips and some incredible hula hooping! A big well done to our competition winners and a huge thank you to everyone who donated. We raised an amazing £378!

What fabulous mornings we had at both our schools sports days! Thank you to everyone who made it such a success and so much fun for the children.

After our fundraising last year, School Council have got some cosy beanbags and blankets for our outdoor reading corner. We have a box of lovely books for the children to read, enjoy and relax whilst outside.
