May the Fourth Be With You…

…Star Wars Charity Marathon Day is back!

On May 4th all pupils will be asked to come into school dressed in PE clothes (or sportswear) and trainers… ready to run. This year we will be raising money for the Macmillan cancer charity and we ask that all donations are made via this JustGiving link:

MACMILLAN CHARITY DONATIONS

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.

Any donation you can give is much appreciated. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer and having a charity like Macmillan there to support those people and their families is priceless. Anything we raise through this marathon day will support their work.

Throughout the day classes will go out onto the school field to run a mile with Mrs Clarke. This year we would like to invite parents, carers, family members and friends to come along and support their child’s class or even to run with them! Please come round to the school field (at the back of school) when your child’s class is running.

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.

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 £1 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 £1 donation and all money raised will go towards buying a school set of ukuleles.
 
(We have already raised just over £300 for this- we need £200 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.
