We were delighted to welcome our OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC Mentor, Lizzie, to a celebration assembly this week where we received our Double Platinum Award! We were also joined by some of our lunchtime play team, representatives of Pickering Town Council and Ryedale Lions who have supported a number of projects between them that have supported the development of our grounds for play. We are incredibly proud of the play opportunities that we offer our children. If you feel as passionately as we do about play in schools, you might want to consider OPAL's petition to ask the Government to make it a requirement for primary schools to have a plan for play.

The children have been working hard in our fabulous sensory garden throughout the year with the help and support of Mrs Boyes and Mrs Eddon. The garden is now looking amazing and the children have been excited to sample the produce that they have grown here and in the playgrounds across school. Over this week they have tasted potatoes, strawberries and, this morning, Years One and Two have been sampling their home grown lettuce accompanied by an optional homemade dip!
The Year One and Two children had a fabulous visit to Whitby yesterday. With the warm weather there were lots of opportunities to keep cool with an ice lolly, under the shade of the trees in Pannett Park and in the sea for a little splash and paddle. The children talked a lot about the geographical features as part of their learning but the children have also made some wonderful memories!
The children will have lots of imaginative ways of using these in their play! Thank you to JT Atkinson for their kind donation and to Alex for collecting and delivering for us!
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!
