Following on from the wind, rain and hail of the last few weeks, we have made the most of a break in the cloud to host our sports day for the children this afternoon. Staff and children were sad not to be able to share the event with our wider community but we challenged the children to double their efforts to cheer on their classmates and friends! And they certainly did! Whilst some of them may have had a few 'butterflies in their tummies', every child participated with a smile on their face and with huge pride at the end of their races! There were races for every class from Nursery through to Year Two from running races and teddy bear races to obstacle races and three-legged races. A great day everyone – we are all so proud of you!
There are two great upcoming opportunities for families to join us in our school grounds. The first is on Thursday evening to celebrate International Day of Play when we are inviting current families to join us for some OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC! Explore the extensive school grounds and the wealth of resources for play between 5.30 and 6.30pm. We will also be open for Friends of Pickering Infant and Nursery School's Pickering Open Gardens this Saturday when the grounds will be open to our wider community to come and see what is on offer at Pickering Infant and Nursery School. There will be plenty of play opportunities, some home baked goodies for sale, games and a plant stall. Please come and join us. Tickets on sale at Reeds Newsagent, Market Place.
Children in Reception through to Year Two have had a great afternoon with Will from Rocksteady Music School. Will showed, explained about and played a range of electric instruments, which the children were delighted to sing along to. And the children created the very first Pickering Infant and Nursery School rock band, performing We Will Rock You at the end of the session! Letters are coming home in book bags tonight for children in Reception and Year One and the end of the week for Nursery and children starting with us in September about how families can sign up for children to be a part of rock bands at our school from September!
The children have been enjoying a range of new wooden resources over the last few weeks for outdoor play, OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC. This new equipment has been great for making dens, for climbing and jumping and for making obstacle courses! A huge thank you to Ryedale Lions as this equipment was funded by the money raised from the Easter egg raffle last term.
Pickering Town CIC would like your help with the information that they have shared with us below… A Vision for Pickering – Can you help Pickering Town CIC identify projects that could benefit the Community by responding to this survey? It should only take 5 minutes of your time but could have a profound effect on your children, family and peoples’ lives who visit, live and work in Pickering. We have had a good response to the survey so far but are missing views from ‘working age’ residents; it is important to us, that parents’ views are reflected when we consider future projects for the Town. Please contribute contribute your views in the below survey:
