Ripon Cathedral School Update
Week ending Friday 19th January 2018
Young Voices
Our Year 5 and 6 children clearly had an amazing time singing in Sheffield Arena. To prepare for the evening performance, the huge choir of over 5,200 children started off with a rehearsal of all the songs when they arrived after lunch. Family members came from far and wide for the concert itself. Our children behaved as well as ever, and enjoyed every moment of this exciting opportunity. The long day ended with a safe journey home through the snow.
snow fun
Christingle Service
On Monday 29th January we will be holding our Christingle Service at the Cathedral. We are expecting all children from Reception to Year 6 to stay in school until the service which is at 5pm, we will all walk up together to the Cathedral for the service. A note has gone home and we ask that you return it if your child will NOT be joining us.
During the day the Cathedral are providing volunteers to come into school and make Christingles with the children. The Cathedral are also kindly paying for the school caterers to provide everyone with a jacket potato after school.
We hope that you will be able to join us for this magical occasion.
Numbers growing at Oscar's
Our 8 o'clock start is proving popular and breakfast club numbers are growing at Oscar's. There's always a busy hum of activity after school too, and on Thursday it was lovely to see the children enjoying the snow and some fresh air.
