They learnt how to be leaders and identified a project in the community that they would like to improve. The wanted to “Be the change that you want to see”. They chose to improve the Green outside school, and so with the support of the Parish Council they have removed litter and weeds, planted new bulbs, refurbished the woodwork, and installed new nesting boxes. They really have made a big difference!
In recognition of their great work they were presented the Young Leaders Award by the Bishop of Selby, and by Ben Fry the morning presenter on Minster FM at a grand ceremony at Monk Fryston Hall. This was a lovely occasion and it was fitting to celebrate their achievements.

]]> 2729 County Council Debating Competition https://monkfryston.n-yorks.sch.uk/frontpage-featured/county-council-debating-competition/ Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:32:46 +0000 https://monkfryston.n-yorks.sch.uk/?p=1880 IMG_8975Well done to our team of Year 6 pupils who represented the school in the County Council debating competition. They had to debate: “Do you think our climate is changing?”, presenting both sides of the argument as well as asking and answering questions. Our area heat took place in the Selby District Council chambers and was judged by a panel of local, district and county councillors.

Our team were fantastic! They spoke very clearly and articulately and had obviously researched the topic thoroughly. Unfortunately, they didn’t win but did represent our school extremely well and should be proud of themselves. They learnt a lot about the political process and experienced speaking in a large venue. Despite a large amount of evidence for and against the motion, they remain undecided and climate change continues to be a topic of debate!
