North Duffield CP School

@NorthDuffieldSc Well done on achieving your Bronze award, your red campion patch is bee-utiful! We'd love to see you go for Silver in the future 🐝🌺

@BumblebeeTrust We’re so proud to have achieved an award!

Schools across the UK have been getting creative to support our precious pollinators🌼🐝 These brilliant spaces are part of the Habitat Wing of our Bumblebee-friendly Schools Award, a nationwide initiative helping schools take action for bumblebees. Which area is your favourite?

We have 5 animals, 22 adults and 118 children heading to @YorkshireWP for an amazing day out and to visit the rhino, meerkat, giraffe, red panda and polar bear that Santa kindly adopted for us last Christmas.

We’re very proud of our drama club who put on a wonderful production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ last night. Huge thanks go to Sara from @PQAYork for bringing out the best in our little performers. They showed so much promise and confidence and looked adorable in their costumes.

A bit of rope plus a couple of old pupils returning for work experience equals endless fun at lunchtime. Whole school tug-of-war! @OPAL_CIC #ItAllStartsWithPlay

📣 We are hiring! 📣 Check out our vacancies for a HLTA and a Play Team Member to join our friendly team. Closing date 16th July. northduffield.n-yorks.sch.uk

Our @The_RHS #GrowWithIt planter is doing so well and the cornflowers which have just bloomed are attracting bees. The children have loved caring for this small space which is having a big impact. @BumblebeeTrust

Spinning office chair tig, messy trays, mini beast crafts, balancing on barrels, harvesting homegrown veg, natural loose parts, every day and every child is different but there’s always something for everyone! @OPAL_CIC #PlanForPlay

Having fun in the sun! @OPAL_CIC Wheelie race on the sports day track anyone?

Thank you so much to everybody who came and celebrated the #InternationalDayofPlay with us. The children love sharing their @OPAL_CIC play zones with their family and friends!

The International Day of Play has arrived. Please come and celebrate with us after school in our @OPAL_CIC zones. Choose play every day! Refreshments and toys will be on sale to raise funds for a giant sandpit. Thank you for your support.

And we’re off! @BewerleyPark here we come. On the agenda today is river walking and orienteering. #SchoolResidential2025

Your child may have mentioned that our @OPAL_CIC Muddy Cafe has been out of bounds for a few days because ‘Ducky’ decided to make her nest behind the kitchen units. We’re pleased to report that she is doing well over the holidays and has laid seven eggs! #outdoorlearning

Come and join us on 11th June to celebrate the #InternationalDayOfPlay! Enjoy all of our @OPAL_CIC zones after school with your friends and family. Refreshments available. @UNICEF #ItAllStartsWithPlay @PlayEngland

We did it! Our school has achieved a @BumblebeeTrust Bumblee-Friendly Bronze Award. The science council will continue working on #conservation as we now set our sights for the next level. 🐝

There’s never a dull moment during @OPAL_CIC lunchtimes. The children have particularly loved dressing up in our outdoor theatre this week and we’ve seen some great loose parts in action across the site, everything from theme park rides to rocket launchers! #PlanForPlay

We’re working towards a @BumblebeeTrust Award 🐝 learning all about bees, delivering an assembly to raise awareness of the importance of conservation and monitoring the progress of our @lindumturf wildflower meadow, a haven for these remarkable creatures. bumblebeeconservation.org

Our VE Day cupcake flags made it onto the islands of the children’s wonderful mud archipelago! @OPAL_CIC

Painting with water, cooking with mud, sledging on grass, experimenting with loose parts - there’s always something for everyone to do at lunchtimes in our inclusive @OPAL_CIC play zones. #PlanForPlay
