Y3 & Y4 Eureka Visit 11.7.17

KMcLachlan — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 15:14:02 +0000

Year 3 and 4 enjoyed an amazing day at Eureka yesterday. The weather didn’t dampen our spirits as we were actively engaged in some fascinating science. And it certainly was hands on for 2 of our pupils who quite literally held fire in their hands! It was incredible to see the joy on the faces of all the pupils and staff. The learning opportunities were embraced by all and we will certainly remember this day for a long time.

On Monday 16th January Year 3 had a Stone Age to Iron Age Day. We had a fantastic time learning lots of facts about pre-history and exploring a range of artefacts. We recreated cave art, explored Celtic roundhouses and Some of us even got to try on Bronze Age and Iron Age armour!

Final Golden Book

Y3 Viking Villages

KMcLachlan — Thu, 19 May 2016 11:00:47 +0000

As part of their Viking topic the children were split into small groups and asked to design and build a model Viking village, based on what they had learnt about settlements. The key DT focus was to find and use materials that were as realistic as possible. We’re sure you’ll agree some fantastic work was produced.

Y3 Murton Park Visit

KMcLachlan — Thu, 19 May 2016 10:56:21 +0000

Year 3 had an amazing day living as Vikings at Murton Park, York. The children took part in a number of Viking themed activities such as guard training, pottery and making traditional games. This helped the children gain a deeper understanding of what it would be like to live as Vikings, hundreds of years ago.

Golf Festival 27.4.16

KMcLachlan — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:14:44 +0000

10 of our Year 3 pupils took part in a golf festival this week, along with 60 other children from schools across the STAR Alliance. They had to do a range of skills including chipping, putting and hitting a long distance. Joe ‘Rory’ Alderson certainly needs a mention for hitting the longest distance (the lady in the house five gardens away from the school field says we can have our ball back at the end of the day!!), and Charlie ‘Bubba’ Greer scored fantastically at the chip and putt. All the children did wonderfully well to rise to the variety of challenges. The weather wasn’t the kindest, but we dodged thunderstorms, hail, snow and cold, and kept persevering – all the children were a credit to our school.

Yr 3 meet Dame Sarah Storey

KMcLachlan — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 07:50:52 +0000

Pupils from Y3 at Monk Fryston School braved the cold to meet a cycling legend today. Dame Sarah Storey was out recceing the route ahead of Saturday’s ASDA Tour de Yorkshire women’s race. She stopped briefly to chat with pupils, and meet the Y5 pupil who won the land art competition; the art is currently under construction justoff Duncemire Lane.

Dame Sarah was accompanied by Monica Dew, part of her Boot Out Breast Cancer Cycling Team, as well as co-founder of the team, Barney Storey. Both Dame Sarah and Barney are multiple gold medalists in Paralympic cycling, as well as world title holders and an Olympic gold medal winner.

KS2 Cross Country Event 25.1.16

KMcLachlan — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 10:07:52 +0000

On Monday a number of our pupils took part in the district cross country running competition at Tadcaster Grammar School. This was different to most of our other competitions, as it was a condition of entry that children had undergone a competition in school first and only the quickest runners were selected. Therefore all the very best runners throughout the area competed in races for each age group. Over 1300 pupils took part, with each race having about 100 competitors. The standard was incredibly high! Our children did extremely well, and whilst none were placed high enough to qualify for the northern final we did have a number of children who came in the top 20 in their race. This is a terrific achievement. Most importantly, everyone represented our school extremely well and enjoyed the experience.
