Holi was celebrated in Year 3/4.
As part of their Harry Potter themed learning, Year 5/6 had an amazing two days of Design & Technology, with all the activities having something to do with Harry Potter.
There was so much going on: quilt making, sock puppets, bunting & stars, and even some wand containers.
Early Years have had great fun exploring with our new projector. Lots of shadow puppets, animal impressions and transient art displays.

The children were then able to access all this completely independently and use their own imaginations to make some fantastic creations.

They also had an amazing time and got very messy, as did Mrs Fisher!
In the school field, Friends of Fishergate have been very busy creating a ‘forest school’ area for pupils to use. They have asked the school council to organise a competition inviting pupils to design a forest school logo. The winning…
Recently, Year 6 pupils have been up and down the road to Fulford School, where they have participated in some transition Design and Technology activities, led by Fulford’s head of department, Dave Wooldridge. As well as carrying out a challenge to build and race an elastic band powered car, we cooked in Fulford’s purpose-built kitchen.
On all our visits, the behaviour and attitude of Fishergate pupils has been exemplary. We are proud to take them out and about!
Thank you for showing your support for the Key Stage 1 Recycled Fashion Show. It was a great event to celebrate the children’s creations from this term. Many thanks to those who donated to the Macmillan Cancer Care Charity. Here are some snaps of the children in action:
