School was fortunate today to be visited by the Pet Awareness Scheme (PAWS) of East Riding Council. Lead Officer from the Animal and Pest Control Service visited every class and gave them a talk on how to be responsible pet owners.

This is all part of our ‘Responsible Dog Ownership’ project, aiming to increase awareness about the amount of dog mess on the streets of Wilberfoss.

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.

Very, very eggciting (sorry) news. Wilberfoss Primary will soon be taking delivery of their very own set of chick eggs from the Living Eggs company.

We’ll get them in as eggs, and over two weeks will watch them hatch and grow.

There’s even the chance for you to take a chick home at the end of the two week project!

More details coming very soon, or see the Living Eggs site.

“Every 20 minutes in the UK, a child is hurt or killed on foot, most on the way to or from school.
Nearly half of our children are now driven to school meaning more obesity and traffic danger.” (From the Brake website)

Wilberfoss took part in the walking bus event last year, and we were really happpy to do it again this year.

The idea behind the walking bus is to highlight how wonderful it would be to see more children regularly walking to school and how it’s vital for drivers to reduce their speeds in areas such as our village.

Walking to school is wonderful, taking traffic off the roads, easing congestion, reducing pollution and most importantly getting children used to walking and having independence.

Here are just a few of the pictures … many more at the school website – it’s on the School Events page.
