Ripon Cathedral School Update
Week ending Friday 5th July 2019
More Super Sports
On Thursday, we were delighted to host an inter-school athletics competition when we were joined by Trinity and Moorside schools. To represent our school, each class teacher selected the children following their performances on sports day. We did a sprint, hurdles, high jump and a throwing event, with Years 3 and 4 using bean bags and Years 5 and 6 shot put. To finish off each school selected one girl and one boy from each year group to take part in the relay.
Congratulations Trinity who won by just 6 points!
Superstar worship
For parents and carers of pupils in Early years, Year 1 and Year 2, superstar worship will be on Thursday 11th July at 2.40pm in the school hall.
We look forward to seeing you next week.
Celebrating Year 6
Year 6 started their leaving celebrations with a service in the Cathedral on Tuesday with other local children who are moving on to secondary school in September. The theme of the service was 'Looking Forward' and the children produced rainbows of their hopes and aspirations for the future.

Reading Leader Book Review
'Eeyore loses a tail' by AA Milne
This book is exciting to read because you don't know if Eeyore finds his tail and if they find his tail, how are they going to put it back on Eeyore? My mum read this book as a child and she really liked it and so do I.

Oscar's Holiday Club
We have arranged with the PFI company who manage the school site to have access to school for Oscar's in the last two weeks of the summer holidays. Unlike schools in NYCC sites, we do not have full (or free!) access to school in the holidays, which can make running the holiday club more challenging. However, we are exited that we have started to plan for the summer holidays and can confirm that our summer holiday dates are:
Tuesday 20th, Wednesday 21st, Thursday 22nd August
Tuesday 27th, Wednesday 28th, Thursday 29th August
Booking is now open!
