Wilberfoss Primary School

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.

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.

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!

Some of the pupil from year 6 have been chosen to take part in a gifted and talented PE lesson at Woldgate Collage, they take part in these session once every month for three months. The pupils get a chance to mix in with other pupils from different schools wich gives them a chance to make new friends.

The children have learnt lots of different skills they can use in PE lessons taking part in this school. The type of skills they have been learning are dribbling with a basketball, passing, shooting into a hoop and lots more fun and basic skills.

The pupils that have taken part in these PE sessions are Caitlin, Jess, Nathan and Evelyn. They are all looking forward to take part in the next session!

Miss Dearing teaches a Yoga after school club, with a program called ‘The Yoga Factory‘. She managed to get a photographer to come in and  take pictures of us  for the Eastriding newspaper (Thomas,  Holly, Jess, Caitlin, Holly, Eloise and Jessica):

Yoga Club happens on a Thursday night 3:15~4:00. A CD plays with a woman telling us alsorts of different moves, which are on a sheet we use to check our moves.
I talked to some of the pupils that paticipate in this event (names above) ;

Caitlin says:

“It makes me feel really relaxed and I feel streched in a lovely way”

Jess says:

“I love yoga. It makes you feel really relaxed and takes away any stress. The music we do it to definatly helps you get into the mood of it. :) “

I say:

“It really relaxes your body and you feel really good afterwards and somtimes in the middle you feel dizzy and calm.”
