Wilberfoss Primary School

3 out of 3 for successful Sports Days! Sun and no rain at all!

And as usual, KS2 made a whole day of it, the morning taken up with personal challenge activities; running, throwing, skipping, jumping, endurance, stamina and much more was tested – lots of very happy, very hot, very busy children.

These are some pictures from the personal challenge morning, we’ll have more pictures from the afternoon sports event tomorrow:

Amazingly, two sports days – two dry days! We’re on a roll!

Lovely to see so many parents in attendance, we hope that you had as great a time as the pupils did!

It was DRY!

More than that – it was actually sunny.

Miracles do happen.

As you can tell from these photos, the children had a wonderful time.

Year 6 took part in the Wolds Rounders tournament this week, their very first competitive rounders matches! They did really well, played 5, won 2. But most importantly they had a great time!

Our children recently took part in a cross country event at Woldgate College. It was an excellent event and all children did very well-especially as the conditions were extremely difficult  and very,very muddy.

Harry in Year 4 came third and won a medal, Kyle (Year 3) & Isaac (Year 4) came in the top 10, whilst Indianna (Year 5) narrowly missed out a chance on competing in the East Riding championships next week, however she was running against alot of year 6′s.

We were really pleased to see everyone supporting each other throughout the competition.

Wilberfoss recently played a very good tournament at Market Weighton school, playing 4 matches, with the whole team showing tremendous spirit.

Wilberfoss 0 vs Holme On Spalding Moor 2

Wilberfoss 1 vs Melbourne 1

Wilberfoss 0 vs Stamford Bridge 1

Wilberfoss 0 vs Mount Pleasant 1

Today the entire school had the chance to be inspired by Dr. Jo Willoughby, a member of the Team GB Skiing Squad, and winner of over 30 medals and titles to date.

Through her assembly the school sat rapt and attentive, as she told us of her life as a skiier, her training, her motivation, her competitions, her time with Team GB, and much, much more.

Thank you so much to Dr. Willoughby for visiting us, we’ll definitely be keeping in touch!

Jo is an inspiration, but to keep inspiring she’s always keen to talk to more people prepared to provide sponsorship. If you think this could be you, get in touch via her website – www.jowilloughby.co.uk

Here are a few pictures of today’s visit, head to the school website for more.

Second to last day before the Summer holidays and we’ve finally got weather suitable for a sports day!

Okay, lets try again shall we…. this summer is not being kind to outdoor sports at all!

Foundation Stage Sports - Monday 9 July at 09:30 

UPDATE 6th JULY – UNLIKELY TO GO AHEAD LOOKING AT FORECASTS AND FIELD (swamp?)  (You will receive a text early Monday to let you know for certain)

We’re not having much luck with the weather this year but we’ll try once more next Monday 9 July at 09:30. If we have to cancel because it’s either raining or there has been significant rain on Sunday/Monday morning, you’ll get a text message before the start of the school day.

Key Stage 2 Sports, Friday 6 July at 13:30 –

UPDATE 6th JULY – CANCELLED (Will inform later of new dates)

We’ll run this event if at all possible but will make a decision on Friday morning and send a text if we have to cancel.

Due to the extremely wet weather, and the wet condition of the school field, the school has taken the decision to postpone today’s Foundation Stage Sports Day until the alternate date of MONDAY 2nd JULY.

And sadly, the alternate date has been all rainy and miserable as well! So we’ve had to CANCEL Foundation Stage Sports Day – more updates very soon!
