Thank you for showing your support for the Key Stage 1 Recycled Fashion Show. It was a great event to celebrate the children’s creations from this term. Many thanks to those who donated to the Macmillan Cancer Care Charity. Here are some snaps of the children in action:
Thanks again for all your support and recycling donations. We’ve had a great time becoming fashion designers and models.
In Maths we have been working on our money skills. We have been making different amounts of money with coins and using our knowledge of addition and subtraction to buy and sell items in the classroom.
We love harvesting the produce from the allotment!
We are very proud of our young composers, who worked extremely hard and learned a lot!
Come dressed up in your brightest clothes for our Carecent charity day. On the 27th of February there is going to be a spring themed charity day to help Carecent. This charity provides breakfasts and toiletries for homeless…
Noah’s mummy came into school to teach us all about Food for Life and the importance of eating healthy food. She showed us how to safely use knives to chop fruit using the ‘claw’ and ‘bridge’ techniques. We loved creating and eating our fruit kebabs!
This term our topic has been ‘Recycling’. We became fashion designers and up-cycled our old clothes and used recycled items to create new fashion designs.
We had a lovely time using our money skills to pay for train tickets to various places in York! We chose the correct coins to pay for our tickets and if we had too much money, the ticket master would give us the correct change!
Once again we will be collecting Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers to purchase PE equipment for school. Vouchers are available in Sainsbury’s stores and online between Wednesday 28th January and Tuesday 5th May and can be sent to class teachers or put straight into the collection box on the Reception Desk. Last year was a fantastic success, with over 13,500 vouchers collected, with which we were able to purchase a new set of tennis equipment, dodgeballs, athletics hurdles and rugby balls.
This year we are aiming to collect enough vouchers to purchase a new Table Tennis Table for 18,000 vouchers!! Your support is much appreciated, so please enlist the help of friends and family to help us achieve our goal.
On Wednesday, 4th March, Fishergate School will be welcoming International Athlete James Denny for a morning of sports activities. James will be undertaking fitness circuits with each class, before conducting a special assembly during which he will undertake a question and answer session with pupils to discuss his sporting journey.
James started diving in 2005 at the age of 12 and since 2011 has represented Great Britain at International level. He has competed at the European Championships and won the Silver Medal in the 10m synchro at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, with his diving partner, Tom Daley. He is now aiming to represent Great Britain in the 2016 Rio Olympics, and is participating in the SportsFORSchools scheme.
Each pupil has now been given a sponsorship form in order to raise funds to support training costs for our athlete, as well as raise money for school PE equipment. Children will receive prizes for the money they raise, including a blue Sports for Schools wristband for over £5, an autographed red wristband for over £15 and an autographed A4 athlete poster for over £30. PE kits will need to be worn on the day, so please ensure these are in school.
We look forward to welcoming James, and hopefully cheering him on in Rio in 2016!
