Redrow Homes
Class 3 were invited to visit Redrow’s show homes at Green Hammerton after a North Yorkshire Archi-tots competition, which aimed to introduce young people to the construction industry and was won by Ava. After a lovely brisk walk from school to Green Hammerton, we arrived and were givien the opportunity to explore the show homes. Throughout the morning we learnt about careers in construction, took part in different tasks and interviewed the site manager to find out how new homes are built. We would like to extend our thanks to Redrow Homes for not only running this competition, but for also being friendly hosts at their new housing development. The children thoroughly enjoyed it! The 'goodie bags' were a bonus!

Imphal Barracks 2020
In November the children made Rememberance Day cards to send to the forces. They decided they wanted to send them to soliders that are serving to thank them for their bravery and dedication to our country. The children send the cards to Catterick, Linton-on-Ouse RAF and Imphal Barracks in York. A few weeks later we recieved a postcard from Imphal Barracks, personally written by the Kernel thanking the children for the wonderful cards they recieved, the soldiers were blown away by the personalisation and thought that had gone into the messages inside the cards. We then recieved a phone call from Mr Brian Kernel inviting the children to visit Imphal Barracks in York. On the 26th February we went to the Barracks for the day where they learnt all about weaponry, visited the Kahima museum, took part in STEM building activities, exploring the vehicles and trying on the kit. It was a fantatsic day!
Jessica (Year 5) - It was amazing and such a great experience. The effort theat they had put in to make it the day it was, was incredible. My favourite part was holding the weaponry.
Archie (Year 6) - I enjoyed everything. I learnt so much and couldn't believe how heavy the kits were that they had to wear for approximatley 8 hours per day. I learnt how powerful the guns are and how to hold the weapons to shoot at targets. It was an incredible experience.
