Inclusion Week

Our Inclusion Week was very successful - we did some 'foot and mouth' painting, had a game of wheelchair football and invited York City FC in to give us a workshop on anti-bullying.

Sharon King, author of The Daily Journal of Arabella Crumblestone; http://www.sharonkingbooks.co.uk/charity.htm also visited us for the day to read some of her story to us.

Overall, the week was a huge success!

Multicultural Week

After SATs, Mrs Morton planned an amazing multicultural week for us all to get involved in, which included a grafitti artist working with the children and a rotation of activities.

The Royal Wedding party was in full swing at Kirk Smeaton, with Lions class holding a 'Royal Garden Party' and Eagles making their own party memorabilia, including a lifesize Kate and Wills who were the guests of honour at the village's weekend celebrations.

Harvest Appeal - Sponsored Show Jump

Our sponsored show jumping was a huge success. Everyone who took part had a lot of fun (even the teachers). A big thank you to Mrs Fisher for organising the event and to you for helping us raise the amazing amount of Â£492.

Guide Dogs for the Blind

Terry and his dog Ashley visited the whole school to share in our Money Week. Guide Dogs for the Blind is a fantastic charity, did you know it costs about £40,000 to train each dog?
