HMC Athletics - On your marks, get set, go!

Coram House athletes from Years 3 to 6 travelled to

Huntington Stadium in York to compete in the

prestigious HMC Athletics Championships on Friday 6th

June.

It was a scorching day and all the children had a fantastic

experience competing at a very high standard.

Congratulations to all the competitors. Some notable

performances were:

Archie Peirson (Year 3) reached the final of the Year 4

boys 80m sprint, and came 5th.

Darcey Ducker came 4th in the final of the Year 4 girls’

200m.

Grace Dibb came a magnificent 1st in the Year 4 girls’

Long Jump.

Let’s Make Music In our morning assemblies on Friday the 20th

June and Tuesday 24th June, we show-cased the

musical talents of several of our pupils, from

both Prep and Pre-Prep. We listened to a wide

variety of performances and had a glimpse

behind the scenes of the work that goes on in

the many instrumental lessons that take place in

the Music Centre. Both seasoned and novice

performers enjoyed sharing the triumphs and

tribulations of learning a musical instrument and

they inspired us all.

I enjoyed the trip to Yorvik because it was really fun. I liked going on the ride through the Viking village and seeing

and smelling what it was really like! I

would definitely recommend this trip as we learnt lots and even popped into a fudge shop too!

Year 4 Visit Fairburn Ings

Year 4 visited Fairburn Ings on Tuesday 3rd

June. We were there to examine habitats for

our Science project. We enjoyed feeding the

swans and ducks and experiencing pond

dipping. We caught many insects that we

hadn’t seen before. It was a thoroughly

exciting and interesting day despite Mr Grogan

trying to wet everyone!

Year 4

Tea Party Time!

On Thursday 5th June, Year 4 had been invited to the Senior School Home Economics room to attend a tea party.

The only catch was that they had to make the food before they could eat it! They created stained glass window

cookies and smiley-faced pizzas, which they later ate with great enthusiasm. They were joined by their parents to

share the meal in Centre Library, where there were then yet more smiley faces to be seen!

Nursery Outing to Sundown Adventureland

The nursery children and their lovely ‘grown-ups’ enjoyed a fun outing to Sundown Adventureland on Friday 27th

June. In between sampling the vast array of outdoor themed play areas, we also enjoyed tractor, train, sleigh and

boat rides. During the only rain shower, we ended the day in the indoor soft play area, where the children burnt

off any remaining energy and the adults had a well-earned rest!

Everyone agreed it had been a great day. The rain mostly stayed away (until we were safely on the coach home)

and our delightful children were a credit to their parents and Ackworth School.
