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.
