SATS

Each year children attending Gillamoor C.E Primary school have gone through tests but the year sixes have gone through… SATS… A special test done by all state schools in this area. We did them months ago but only got the results earlier this week, we all did really well! It determines what level you are at on academic subjects.

We have been raising money by making bracelets and selling them in school and at stalls out of school.

What I like doing at school

My favourite thing at school is sport. I like sport, well their is lots of sport including football, rugby, swimming, tennis and many more. As I like sport I don’t care what sport it is. We are going to have some specialist cricket coaching next week and I can’t wait. Sport helps keep you fit and healthy and is a good way to meet new friends. My favourite sports coach at school was Joe from the original after school club. I also enjoy the netball and tennis coaching with Sarah.

Success at Kirkbymorside Market

Just a quick note (which I hope the children will add to) to say how fantastic it was at Kirkbymoorside Market today. We were very kindly provided with a stall at Towler’s Arch and sold handmade bracelets, Kenyan jewellery, cakes and raffle tickets to help raise fund for our link school in Kenya. The 5 girls from the school did a fantastic job of selling and raised an amazing  £283! That money will buy over 5,500 bricks for the new dormitory. Excellent effort from everyone, you should all be very proud.
