We are excited to be raffling off our giant Easter egg from the fantastic Birdgate Chocolatiers in Pickering and donated by Ryedale Lions. Tickets will be on sale from 8.45am outside school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and after school on Tuesday and Wednesday. You can also buy tickets at our Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School Bunny Drive on Wednesday evening and from the team at Television House Ltd. on Market Place, Pickering. Tickets are £2 each and the draw will take place on Thursday 26th March – good luck! Every pound raised will be used for projects in school for our children, thank you.
We were joined today by members of BBC Philharmonic, including Jenny who came to lead workshops with our Reception children. She brought her piccolo, flute, alto flute and bansuri flute with her. The children enjoyed listening and responding to the music, joining in with a variety of songs and chants and exploring the use of percussion instruments. Thanks to Jenny for sharing her skills and enthusiasm and to our Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School for funding this event! Such a valuable musical experience.
VegPowerUK launched this year's EAT THEM TO DEFEAT THEM veg power campaign. Our children have been only too happy accept that challenge! They have enjoyed munching through peppers and carrots so far!
What a fabulous treat to have the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra with us in school today for a BBC Musical Storyland performance of Ananse and the Monkey and Ananse and the Drum. A huge thank you to all of the performers who had the children captivated with the range of musical instruments and a wonderful story telling performance. What a great experience and an inspiring insight into the world of musical performance! We are looking forward to workshops next week for our Reception children. A huge thank you too to Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School for funding this event!
It has certainly been a mixed week of weather – very typically North Yorkshire! However, the children love the different play opportunities that different weather presents. Our OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC Champions have been busy helping our OPAL Leaders, Mrs Carter and Mrs Kelly, look at the next play developments across our school grounds. The balance beams that were introduced in this week's play assembly with our lunchtime play team have been a big hit, being used for lots of different purposes. Look out for further updates coming soon…
