Elvington Church of England Primary School

Our first recorder lesson for Year 1 and 2.. We learnt how to hold the recorder and play the note b. We can’t wait to learn even more. 🎵

What a fab super start to our new topic- The Royals! The outfits were amazing! 🤴 👸

We had lots of fun crafting making crowns, paper doll chains and painting ourselves as a King or Queen. 🎨

The coastal views along the way were absolutely stunning and kept us going through the heat and tiredness. There’s still time to donate to two wonderful causes — every contribution really does make a difference: justgiving.com/page/andrew-bu…

Today had a real Race Across the World feel to it. We had to make it from Solares to Santander before the 12:15pm ferry departure — no pressure! Thankfully, we made it in time, which meant we could catch our pre-booked bus back to Bilbao.

Temperatures were notably cooler today; however, this stage was always anticipated to be among the most demanding. Owing to the absence of suitable accommodation along the immediate Camino route, it was necessary to complete the full stretch from Laredo to Solares.

A really tough one today - mid to high 20s makes for great photos, but harsh walking conditions! There were some really challenging sections, with lots of ascents. We made it from Castro- Urdiales to Laredo.

After a long day we made it from Bilbao to Castro-Urdiales. We arrived just before dark, after covering 32km - the weight of the backpack certainly adds to the challenge!

We fly to Bilbao early tomorrow and should be starting the Camino del Norte by 10am! ☀️ The weather forecast has changed, with a hot spell expected for three days. Better than rain, but Saturday & Monday could be extra challenging! @OscarsCharity @theyorkmix @yorkpress

On behalf of all the staff at Elvington, we wish our children, parents & carers a very happy Easter! Huge thanks for helping raise £1,160 to support Elvington’s PTA & OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity through my Camino del Norte charity walk. yorkpress.co.uk/news/25530093.…

Happy Easter! We hope you have a lovely break with your families and the Easter bunny brings you lots of yummy treats. 🐰

What a fab day decorating our Easter Egg creations in Class 2! 🐥 Huge thank you to our parents and carers for helping with design ideas and resources.

School council had so many entries to the Red Nose Day competition😀 Well done to the winning designs and to everyone that took part 🌟

Egg decorating is underway in Class 4 Happy 🐣 Easter!

Thank you to those members of the school community who joined us for our Easter Service. Each class retold part of the Easter Story through a combination of art, drama and song at Holy Trinity Church - it would be safe to say that the children brought their singing voices!

I would like to extend my thanks to @York_YoYoTrust for delivering an engaging and thought-provoking Collective Worship. They explored one of Christianity’s key messages—Jesus’ death and resurrection—through a whole school Collective Worship.

Some of our red nose designs ready for the school council’s Comic Relief competition- I think school council will find it tricky to choose a winner👍 @comicrelief #elvingtonpshe

Class 2 had an amazing time on their trip to Monk Park Farm last week. We enjoyed feeding the animals, petting them and bouncing on the giant bouncy pillow! 🐐🐷
