Fabulous Football Festival
Football Fun
The football festival included a series of matches between sharks, tigers and dragons with children taking it in turns to play different roles within each team.
Skills activities, including dribbling, target shot and penalty shoot-out, helped the children to develop their abilities and score additional points for their teams. After a great morning the points were added up and Sharks were announced as the winners. well done to everyone involved.

Message from the Friends
Last week we introduced the names of two of our new committee members. They were Sherrie (Co-Chair) and Lily (Communications). We would like to introduce them properly.
Our new Co-Chair:
I’m Sherrie. I’ve got a hair and beauty salon in Boroughbridge, called Renaissance Hair and Beauty. I’m Ripon born and bred and went to Cathedral Primary School many moons ago! We live in Ripon with our smelly whippet called Malcolm. My daughter, Missy is in Year 1 and I got involved with helping the Friends out last year, deciding to take a more active role this year.
Our new Communications Officer:
I'm Lily. I moved to Ripon 4 years ago and will never move away! I have a son called Freddie in Year 2 and we love exploring along the river, in woods and other ares. I am currently setting up my own company called Pink Egg Designs.I enjoyed making all the posters for the friends for the past year and can't wait to design more this year.
We are still in need of someone to take the role of Secretary: this would mean taking formal minutes of our meetings when it's needed. If anyone would like to join the general committee, you would be more than welcome. Come and chat with Sherrie, Liz, Tina, Katy or Lily if you have any questions.
We have dates in the diary for the school disco in November and the Christmas fair in December which will be announced soon.
Our next meeting date will be sent out soon for anyone wishing to join us.
