On Wednesday 17th May our Glee Club had their second

official performance for parents, when they put on the

show ‘Alice The Musical’. Our Glee Club is made up of a

mixture of children from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year

6. This is a voluntary after school club which meets on a

Friday from 3.00pm to 4.15pm. The Glee Club is run by

Rebecca Lindberg from the ‘Topline Performing Arts

School’, Mrs Loughran, Miss Tingle and Mr Griffiths.

This was a very challenging show for primary school

children, but our Glee Club pulled it off with flying

colours. The costumes and staging were first class. The

acting and singing was simply wonderful. Our thanks go to

all of the adults who helped to put this show on the road,

but most of all, a huge WELL DONE to all of the young

performers, you were awesome!

GLEE CLUB IN WONDERLAND

On Wednesday 22nd March, our PTA held their annual

sponsored event. The children took part in a number of

different challenges, depending on which year group

they were in. As a result of this event, you have raised

a massive £2,858, which will be used to benefit your

children in our school. Thank you very much for your

amazing generosity.

Regarding the children’s prizes, we are awaiting the

delivery of one last order. We anticipate that prizes

will be given out during the week commencing 5th June.

PTA VOTE OF THANKS

Our Year 5 & Y6 football team has played 3 matches

this month in the Heagney Cup, which is a tournament

for local primary schools. So far our school has had a

100% success rate. The results have been as follows:

Ormesby 7 - Caedmon 1

Ormesby 6 - Grangetown 2

Ormesby 7 - St. Gabriel’s 0

Hopefully, these excellent results will be good enough

to progress our team into the semi-finals.

Our thanks go to all of the children who have played for

us and also to Miss Akerman and Mrs Lawrence, for

managing our team this season.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this

may cause, but it is beyond our control!

This month our Year 2 and Year 6 children have

completed the national tests (SATs) in Reading,

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar and Maths. Their

attitude and effort throughout the tests was first

class. The Y6 children will receive their results on

4th July as their papers are marked externally. Our

Year 2 children’s papers are marked internally and

the results help to inform our Teacher Assessments.

Our thanks go to the Year 2 and Year 6 teaching

teams who have supported the children so brilliantly

throughout the year. Fingers crossed that the

children get the results that they so richly deserve!

The children in Year 3 have been studying Roald Dahl’s

‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ in their English

lessons. To this end, on Thursday 25th May, all of the

children from Year 3 went to York to visit the York's

Chocolate Story attraction. They learned all about the

history of chocolate, from the Mayans, to the

Rowntree brothers, to the present day. They even got

to try their hand at being chocolatiers, making lickable

wallpaper and a chocolate lolly. Finally, everybody

learned how to be a real chocolate taster, using their

ears, nose and tastebuds. Everyone had a truly

‘choctastic’ time, including the adults!
