Children in Need

The School Council arrange many evernts to raise funds for both school activities and charities. They have helped to purchase equipment for the school and raise money for the Children in Need appeal.

Creative Contexts

Creative context for learning is an Arts led cross-curriculum initiative which schools can apply to take part in. We have been successful in our bids for a number of years. 2007 saw Y2 and Y3 working with sculptor Mark Powers to create totem poles which explore the idea of building positive relationships. Within the project the children also had experiences of improving living willow plantings and developing a play exploring moral issues with the Wonderful World of Puppets.

Healthy Schools Award

In July 2002, we were given a Healthy Schools Award - the first school in the East Riding to achieve this! We set lots of targets in the nine areas, e.g. Drugs Education, Well-Being, and Our Environment. As we achieved them, we put information on our Healthy Schools Board for everyone to see. A steering committee of teachers, non-teaching staff, parents and governers met regularly to update ideas and report on progress. Our School Council advised us on several aspects, and gave us feedback on events.

The following are some of the things that have helped us achieve the award:

  • Recycling bins

  • Adventure playgrounds

  • A disabled toilet and ramp

  • A visit from the Life Education Centre

  • Healthy Eating

  • Daily free fruit for all 3-7 year olds

  • Water bottles and machines

  • A butterfly garden

  • School Council

  • Willow shelters

  • Charity events

We are so proud of our achievements and to be a healthy, happy school.

Since then we have made a DVD on "Food and Fitness" with Real Life tv company for Teachers TV and this was shown 6 times this year. Many people get good ideas from our good practice.


Our School Hall

We have decorated our school hall as it has not been redecorated for many years. It was completely repainted. The curtains were purchased by our PTFA. We like to have whole school displays, a Collective Worship board and childrens board to look at.


Willow Shelter - a work of Art, a fun place to play and great shade.

 

 

Adventure playground - the PTFA helped to pay for this.
