Year 5&6

Fishergate Eisteddfod

Thank you to everybody that came to the Fishergate Eisteddfod on Tuesday this week, it really was a huge success! We had performance poetry from each class and musical interludes from recorder groups, pianists, drummers, vocalists, flautists, violinists, guitarists and even the flugelhorn!…

A visit to Y5/6 from Christian Aid

On Wednesday 5th April, Y5/6 had  a visitor from Christian Aid to talk to them about the work of this charity. This was to tie in with their R.E. unit, where they have been exploring the question from the City of York  Syllabus  ‘Is it better to express your religion in arts and architecture or in charity and generosity?’

We learnt about how Christian Aid has  a vision to end poverty, and works with partner agencies all over the world to tackle issues such as the problems of climate change, and the  refugee crisis.

KS2 were fortunate to have a visit from St John’s Ambulance where all the children took part in a practical session. We covered making a primary survey of a casualty to moving the casualty into the recovery position. The children were fantastic listeners and the course was presented in a fun way starting with a Mr Bean way of NOT to do it!
