Thank you to everyone who came and supported the children at Sports Day. The weather remained kind and the children had a fantastic morning competing in track and field events. Thank you to Sporting Influence for their help and to FOFs for refreshments.

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!

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.
