It has been a wonderful week to end what has been an incredibly busy term.

On Tuesday morning the Year 2 children had a House hockey tournament where all the children competed. The children enjoyed the friendly competition and Micklegate won. On Thursday it was the turn of Year 3 and it was lovely to observe the progression from Year 2 the journey they have been on as they have been ‘Riding the America’s’. Both assemblies were excellent, well done to all of the children. Thanks to Mrs Salisbury and Miss Collins and all the TA’s for their support. our extreme reading competition winners to Lydia (2J), Henry (RC), Acer (1A), and Ros (3S). Well done to all. Our termly Housepoint trophy was won by Monk.

Year 3. All the children played well, and the winners of Year 3 were Monk. In assembly this morning the points were added up from both tournaments and I presented the Hockey trophy to Manny, who is the House Captain for Walmgate. My sincere thanks to Miss Flockhart, Mr Lomax and all of the teachers and teaching assistants who helped at these events.

On Wednesday afternoon our Year 2 and Year 3 children joined children from our friends and neighbours, Burton Green Primary School. The children sang many of the songs from Young Voices and a few new ones too. Huge thanks to our musical maestro, Mrs Hayden for pulling the concert together and to the amazing children at St Peter’s 2-8 and Burton Green Primary School and to all the parents who attended supporting the children. It was such a brilliant afternoon.

Today we have had out House singing competition. The three Houses chose songs from Abba and they were all excellent. The winners were Walmgate. Thank you to Ms Opie and Mr Roberts who were our judges this year. Well done all.
