October 14th 2016

We’ve had a very

special visitor in

school this week.

Helping us to launch our

year of fitness initiatives,

Chris Tomlinson, recently

retired Olympic long-jumper,

joined us for an afternoon of

sporting fun.

Chris led some gruelling fit-

ness circuits which the whole

school enjoyed and he then

inspired us all with his fasci-

nating story of Olympic

success.

See page 3 for more photos.

Class 1 Assembly

Find out why Zak and the other members of the School Council spent a day in the

forest this week...

Scarlett, Tornie and all of their friends in Class 1 shared their

fantastic work in assembly recently. The children were joined by

`Boris Bones’ who has been helping them to learn about their

bodies and how they work. You might spot him in the picture!

As well as showing their artwork, the children sang `Dem Bones’

and even played percussion instruments as they sang. Well done,

Class 1!

Sports Round Up

Chris Tomlinson put everyone through their paces with a series

of fitness circuits in the hall. Spotty dogs, push ups, star jumps and

press-ups were the order of the day!

Class 2 demonstrated their sporting talents at the multi-skills com-

petition in Whitby, whilst Class 4 took part in the Whitby `Rugby

Mega-Fest’ tournament.

The Y5/Y6 football team have been in action at Eskdale too. Great

performances from the team resulted in 3rd place for Seton, in the

medium schools category.

Special congratulations to Nevie who represented the school at

the Octoberfest cross-country competition.

More photos of our sporting events can be found on our website.

Dates for your diary

Class 3 had a competition connect-

ed with their book, A Midsummer

Night’s Dream.

They were asked to create a Titania or

Puck from the story. The winners, Nevie,

Lilly and Charlotte are shown with their fan-

tastic creations.

Liam’s work is featured in our `Good Work

Corner’ this week. His diary entry is

inspired by Class 3’s Stone Age topic.

One really boring day in the

Stone Age, we had to go fish-

ing, kill animals and cook tea.

For tea we had mammoth and

deer. It was brilliant. After

that, I went for a walk. Then I

went to bed. I woke up, I had

my breakfast, then went to

climb a tree. After I climbed

down, a spear fell from the sky.

I ran home and told my mum

what happened. She was

surprised.

“Give it to your father,” she

yelled.

“Ok,” I said. I did not really. I

showed Otter. He was happy,

because now we can play

hunting with it. Next, we

made wooden people to keep

us company. After we finished

I took one to my room to keep

forever, so I can remember it.

That is the end of my day.

Playground updates

You may have noticed the very unsightly warning tape around our trim-trail equipment in

the main playground .

Unfortunately the area has had to be cordoned off to enable us to arrange for essential

maintenance work to take place.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We have also found deliberate damage has been caused to our goal posts which are on the

school field. This damage took place outside school hours. Could we ask that anyone who

sees trespassers on the school field please contact the local police immediately on 101?
