Bake Off 2023

This year’s Bake Off will be slightly different. Pupils in KS1 and KS2 will be invited to take part in this competition. You can enter by yourself or in a team (maximum of 4 per team). You can collect a form from your class and design a cake. The school council will then pick 1 winner from each class. The winners from each class will go into the final and they will be asked to bake their winning cake design and bring it into school for a panel of judges to taste. 

NOTE: ONLY 1 WINNER FROM EACH CLASS WILL BAKE THEIR CAKE 🙂

Dates:

  • Letter and design sheets home Monday 6th February
  • Design entries returned by 24th February
  • Finalists announced Friday 3rd March
  • Finalists’ cakes to be brought into school: TBC

Good luck if you are taking part 🙂

Salvation Army Christmas Appeal: Donations collected

Many thanks to everyone who donated a gift for this year’s appeal. All donations have been collected by the Salvation Army. Kay, from the York branch, said that they have had many more referrals this year asking for help and support, so all your gifts have been gratefully received.

Many thanks for all your support.

Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day

 

On Thursday 8th December we are inviting all pupils to take part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.

The whole school will be taking part. You don’t need to splash out on a snazzy new sweater to join the fun- you can wear non-uniform or decorate an old woolly jumper or just come in something festive e.g. tinsel, a Christmas hat- it’s up to you.

We’re asking pupils to make a ÂŁ1 donation, or whatever they can give, to help save children’s lives across the world. 

If you would like more information about Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day, please see www.savethechildren.org.uk/christmas-jumper-day

Thank you for your support.

Merry Christmas.

Salvation Army Christmas Gift Appeal 2022

 

Every year the Salvation Army collect gifts for children and teenagers who receive very little at Christmas – and this year they need our help more than ever. Last year, they distributed toys and gifts to hundreds of children from York and the surrounding area – and our school donated over 100 toys towards this appeal. 

If you would like to donate any new gifts, for children aged 0-17, please pass the gifts to your child to take to their classroom between now and Thursday 1st December.

The Salvation Army will come and collect any donated gifts and give them to local children and teenagers who need them the most.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL GIFTS NEED TO BE NEW AND UNWRAPPED. 

We do appreciate what a tough year this has again been for a lot of us, so any support for this charity appeal would be much appreciated. We do hope that you feel able to contribute a gift for this valuable cause.

Thank you

KS2 Non uniform Day: Friday 21st October

We are having a KS2 non uniform day on Friday 21st October. We are asking for pupils to bring in a ÂŁ1 donation and all money raised will go towards buying a school set of ukuleles.
 
(We have already raised just over ÂŁ300 for this- we need ÂŁ200 more in order to buy ukuleles)
 
As this is for something musical related, pupils are invited to come into school dressed as something musical! They can come in their favourite musical decade clothes or as a musical genre or a favourite instrument. It is up to you, just please ensure that outfits (and footwear) are appropriate for school. 
 
Many thanks for your support.

Marathon Fundraising Total So Far!

Click to go to our fundraiser on the JustGiving site!

Wow! So far, the Star Wars marathon has raised over ÂŁ1000 – more than double our target! 

On May 4th pupils came into school dressed in sportswear and trainers… ready to run, to raise funds to support the British Red Cross. The Red Cross are doing vital work and providing essential supplies to those affected by the conflict in Ukraine and the school council decided they would like for us to support this effort.

Thank you to all the Fishergate community who have generously donated so far. If you would like to make a donation, you can still do so – just click on the picture to go straight to our fundraising page. You can also help by sharing this page with your friends and family!

Well done to Mrs Clarke, and all our amazing children!

May the Fourth be With You, everyone!
