Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers
Once again we will be collecting Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers to purchase PE equipment for school. Vouchers are available in Sainsbury’s stores and online between Wednesday 28th January and Tuesday 5th May and can be sent to class teachers or put straight into the collection box on the Reception Desk. Last year was a fantastic success, with over 13,500 vouchers collected, with which we were able to purchase a new set of tennis equipment, dodgeballs, athletics hurdles and rugby balls.
This year we are aiming to collect enough vouchers to purchase a new Table Tennis Table for 18,000 vouchers!! Your support is much appreciated, so please enlist the help of friends and family to help us achieve our goal.

GB Athlete Visit
On Wednesday, 4th March, Fishergate School will be welcoming International Athlete James Denny for a morning of sports activities. James will be undertaking fitness circuits with each class, before conducting a special assembly during which he will undertake a question and answer session with pupils to discuss his sporting journey.
James started diving in 2005 at the age of 12 and since 2011 has represented Great Britain at International level. He has competed at the European Championships and won the Silver Medal in the 10m synchro at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, with his diving partner, Tom Daley. He is now aiming to represent Great Britain in the 2016 Rio Olympics, and is participating in the SportsFORSchools scheme.
Each pupil has now been given a sponsorship form in order to raise funds to support training costs for our athlete, as well as raise money for school PE equipment. Children will receive prizes for the money they raise, including a blue Sports for Schools wristband for over £5, an autographed red wristband for over £15 and an autographed A4 athlete poster for over £30. PE kits will need to be worn on the day, so please ensure these are in school.
We look forward to welcoming James, and hopefully cheering him on in Rio in 2016!

Ten Pieces Inspiration Day
On Wednesday this week Y5/6 went to the Early Music Centre for a Ten Pieces Inspiration Day. We had a fantastic time listening to music played live by the York St John Concert Band, watching the Ten Pieces film and taking part in a body percussion workshop! Some children were able to sit in with the band whilst they were playing, it did get quite loud but it was great fun!
Ask any of our Y5/6 children to show you their moves from Stomp!
We even made it on to the York Press website with photos and a video!
