Ripon Cathedral School Update
Week ending Friday 15th March 2019
Seeing Red!
Enjoying Comic Relief Day
A change of scene for Early Years
In next week's Update we aim to publish photos of the changes and further thanks as the build would not have kept to deadline without the input of contractors and project managers.

Undivided Attention
Today, Year Six enjoyed a visit from Nabilah Karim from the Leeds Grand Mosque. She talked to the class about Islam beliefs on the afterlife to consolidate their RE topic. She was extremely impressed with the class's "Deep questioning and extremely insightful and thoughtful discussions." A huge thank you to Nabilah.
Tackling Injustice
Linking to our 'Justice' value this half term, our Year 6 ambassadors led a school worship on Wednesday about the unfairness of homelessness. The school ambassadors have contacted some local charities and are currently looking into how as a school we can support their aims. Watch this space for more information.
Thank You
You may remember a visit from the triathlete Lucy Hall last term. Some of our children raised money to support this worthy cause and their 'thank yous ' arrived this week. Well done to you all.

School Disco: Depending on when you're reading the newsletter, we hope you have either had or are about to have an amazing time at the Disco!
Family Quiz Night: A brand new event for 2019! We'd like to host a 'Family and Friends Quiz Night'. This will be straight after school on Thursday 4th April 3.30-5.30pm. Teams of up to 8 people (children and adults) can enter, we will provide a light tea for everyone, entry will be £2 per person including food. There will be a raffle and additional refreshments for sale. Children who are booked into Oscar's can join an Oscar's team and take part. More information after the half term break.
Easter Events: We will hold our annual Easter egg competition on the last Monday of term (8th April). The theme this year is 'Story Books'. Our second Easter tradition, an egg hunt on the school field, will also take place as soon as school finishes for the term, at 2pm on Friday 12th April. Huge thanks to the parents who have found us sponsors for these events, we promise the details of the local companies who are supporting us will be published!
Duck Race: Save the date!! Wednesday 22nd May will see our annual duck race on the Skell. Meet at 5pm by Fishergreen bridge.
Summer Fair: Saturday 22nd June will be our summer fair. A fantastic family event open to the whole community: Bar, BBQ and bouncy castle plus many more stalls. Details nearer the time.
That's all for now, but if you have any ideas for future events or you want to help us out, please let us know - email rcpsfriends@gmail.com or send us a facebook message Thank you.
