Operating as usual
09/12/2021
Tomorrow we will be taking part in Christmas Jumper Day! We are asking for a £1 donation to Save the Children.
We look forward to seeing all your Christmas jumpers/tops. 🎄Apart from their Christmas jumper, please ensure children wear their school uniform as usual 🎄👕
18/11/2021
We will be supporting Children in Need day tomorrow (Friday) by holding a non uniform day and ask that children bring in a £1 donation.
Good Morning! With the hot weather today, please could all children ensure they have a water bottle, a sun hat and that they have applied sun cream. A named bottle of sun cream can be brought to school to be kept in the classroom.
We looking forward to welcoming you all back tomorrow.
The following information is a reminder about the arrangements for the opening of school which were
communicated in July.
School day times
From Tuesday 7th September the school day for all children will begin at 8.45am and finish at 3.15pm.
The one-way system is still in operation to avoid congestion at the main gate. Please follow the one-way system round the school. On a morning, children in Years 1-6 are to go onto the main playground where their class teacher will meet them. Children in EYFS are to be taken straight to the EYFS building.
At the end of the school day, EYFS and Class 1 children are to be collected from their classroom, Class 2 and 3 children (Years 3-6) will be brought out onto the playground for collection.
If parents would like their child/children in Year 5 or Year 6 to walk home, then please put this in writing to the school office so that staff can be notified.
Uniform & PE Kits
Please can all children wear their school uniform with school shoes – not trainers.
Please bring PE kits into school in a separate named bag on Tuesday. Children need a plain white t-shirt, navy / black shorts and trainers. As the weather turns colder, a plain navy or black tracksuit can be worn and I would also recommend a lightweight waterproof jacket. PE can take place in most weathers outside if children have the correct clothing!
It is strongly advised that all items of clothing including footwear is named clearly, along with bags and packed lunch boxes.
We hope you have all had a lovely summer. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 7th September.
The school day for all children will begin at 8.45am and finish at 3.15pm.
Don't forget, it is World Book Day tomorrow.
Please dress up as a character from a book.
If you are not in school, please send us your photograph via your class email.

Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a restful break.
I am getting in touch with you this evening following the announcement made by the Prime Minister.
As you will have been aware, primary schools in North Yorkshire were opening tomorrow and this has now changed. This is not what we were expecting at this late notice.
In order for school to prepare for this, and receive further clarification and guidance, I am asking that no children come into school tomorrow and parents email school to inform us if they require a place for their child / children from Wednesday 6th January. A link to the latest key worker list is below for your reference.
Remote learning will be sent via the class email system tomorrow.
I appreciate this is a very challenging time for everyone and I will send out further communication tomorrow to families.
Kind regards,
Julie Lyon
Head Teacher

We've reached the end of another week in lock down!
I hope everybody is well (and that the home learning isn't proving too stressful!) We are certainly finding it very strange working from home and not seeing the children - we are definitely looking forward to when we can reopen school.
Before we end the week, I must congratulate Class 2 on their superb effort in this week's North Yorkshire Sumdog Contest.I have followed many of these contests (and we do have a good track record) but this one must surely be the closest of all! Throughout the week, Class 2 were on the leader board and on several occasions, took the lead. In the end, on the final day of the contest, they were overtaken but still finished 5th with 569 points!
This is a very impressive score and reflects the hard work by all the children who took part - well done, Class 2!
On April 24th, Dishforth was the daily winner with 226 points which was actually the second highest daily score of this contest.
Superb results, especially when you see that 132 classes entered:
Hope you all have a relaxing and restful weekend! Stay safe!
I can't keep up with the Sumdog Leaderboard today!
Class 2 have been 1st, 2nd,3rd and still it keeps changing!
Well done, Class 2 on your hard work! Good luck with the last day of the contest.
27/04/2020
Class 2 have just edged into 1st place on the Sumdog Leader board this afternoon! Congratulations! Keep going, you're doing brilliantly.
Well done, Class 2 - currently 3rd in the North Yorkshire Sumdog Contest.
Keep up the good work!
