Have a listen to our audiobooks!

In year 5 and 6, we have been busy writing stories in the style of traditional tales. After we redrafted our writing and designed our front covers, we recorded ourselves reading them to make an audiobook for you to enjoy.

401 Marathon Man Ben Smith

We had a very special visitor at Fishergate today! Ben Smith, who is running 401 marathons in 401 days to raise money for anti-bullying charities, led an assembly and then started his 254th marathon on our school field.  Children from each class in school joined him for his first mile of the day.

It was amazing and inspiring to hear about Ben’s marathon challenge.  To find out more about Ben and his amazing 401 marathon challenge you can visit Ben’s website.

Singing in the Sunshine!

On Wednesday 27th April, Fishergate Choir took part in the York Schools Choral Festival at the University of York. We took part in exciting samba and banner making workshops in the morning and then performed in the HUGE Central Hall with other primary and secondary schools as part of the festival in the afternoon. We were privileged to be invited to sing with the Singing and Signing choir who had heard how great we were at signing. We jointly performed the Sign2Sing song from this year ‘Reach out your Hand’ which proved to be pretty emotional for some staff and parents! As well as this, we sang the song ‘Walking on Sunshine’ which involved singing, dancing and lots of smiles, although coming out of the Central Hall to a dusting of snow maybe it should have been ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland’! Well done to everyone who took part and made the day such a huge success, we even made it in to the newspaper, take a look here in the York Press
