MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD STAFF CHANGES

Mr Cartwright will be finishing as a staff

member but will be returning in

September as a PGCE student which is

Teacher Training.

He will be returning to Year 1.

We will be saying goodbye to

Miss Lee from Class 9 as she has

decided to train to be a nurse.

Miss Lee has been the One to One

support for a child in school. Good luck

in your new venture.

Mrs Cockerill will be finishing as a

Midday Supervisor. We would like to

thank her for her support during the

lunchtime breaks and wish her well for

the future.

Miss Epton has been a

Midday Supervisor but has secured a

role at Kingsmill School as

Learning Support.

We wish her much success in her new

role.

Mrs Barmby has been on a temporary contract this year

and will also be leaving us. Thank you for your help this

year across the school.

NEW STAFF

In September we are welcoming Miss Wright,

Mrs Smith and Mrs Pointez to the Midday Team.

The Admin Team will be gaining a new member of staff in

September. The interviews for this post will be taking

place next week.

Miss Cliffe has a few changes this

Summer!

She is getting married in the

Summer Holidays and will become

Mrs Day. She has accepted a role as a

T.A at Wetwang School to be near to

her new home.

We would like to wish Miss Cliffe

much happiness in her new roles!

The end of term has brought some staff changes

to our school.

Well suddenly the end of term has arrived and we

pause to take stock before starting all over again next

year.

This year has as usual been filled with many highlights

including the usual (many) sporting successes that we

have come to almost expect! Nonetheless, it is notable

that Martongate has achieved the Platinum Schools

Games Mark for 2018 to 2020, and this is recognition of

the provision that we make for the development of

healthy lifestyles and our commitment to activity.

This provision has been driven for many years by our Deputy Headteacher,

Di Levitt, who will be very much missed by us all following her retirement.

I would like to thank Di for her unstinting commitment to the school and the

level of care that she has shown to children as a class teacher and school

leader.

We all wish her every happiness in her new life.

I would like to take the opportunity to say goodbye to all of the Year 6 children

and hope that they all enjoy their academic journey through secondary school.

To all of the other pupils, I would like to wish you all a happy, safe summer

break and look forward to seeing you all in September. Teachers and support

staff, enjoy the break too, it is well deserved.

David Carruthers.

YEAR 4 TRIP ARMOURIES

SAMS SAFARI YEAR 5

Year 5 were visited by some of Sam Safari’s animals. Not only did they bring some

fantastic animals but they learnt that they were rescued. The animals that they

brought in were a giant chicken, snakes, a lizard, a frog,

a chinchilla, giant stick insects and a giant snail. In the time they

spent with us, we learned about the different lifecycles of each

one.

The children were also able to hold or touch the

animals. They loved how soft the chinchilla was as much as the

adults did. The whole experience was amazing and we were so

lucky that they were able to come in.

Thank you to all of

The Friends of Martongate for organising our

Summer Fair and to the staff who manned stalls.

The sunshine was kind and made an appearance whilst

the children sang songs!

We had lots of different activities for the children and

parents to join in with .

There was a raffle which had 2

Amazon Fire Tablets with Alexa

that were donated by Mr Watti

who is a parent of pupils at the

school.

Well done to everyone that was

lucky enough to win a prize.

Congratulations to the Year 3 and 4 cricket team who finished second in the East Riding Finals, losing by only 4 runs.

Thank you to Bethany Thornton of Class 9

and Oliver Williams from Class 7 who raised

money on the sponsored walk for the

Tour de Bridlington.

A great big thank you to you both.

Well done for taking part.

YEAR 5 NORTH LANDING AND LIGHTHOUSE TRIP

The Year 5 children had a fantastic day at

North Landing as part of their Geography topic on

coastal features. The pupils made videos explaining

how a beach is made, sketched caves, arches,

stacks and headlands.

They also created some beautiful beach art using

the resources they found combing the beach.

EYFS Sea Life Centre Trip

On Wednesday 12th June, EYFS visited the

Scarborough Sea life Centre as part of their

'Oceans and Sea Life' topic. The children saw

lots of different creatures and learnt lots of

things about aquatic life. They even got to

touch a real life sea anemone!

It was the first school trip for EYFS and the

children were a credit to the school asking lots

of good questions to the Sea Life Staff.

When they got back to school, the children were

so excited and created lots of fantastic pictures

and writing about the trip.

TOUR DE BRIDLINGTON

Thank you to everyone who

came along to Headlands

School field on 29th June.

Well done to Greg for winning

the giant Teddy, guessing his

Birthday as 14th November.

Well done team

As part of our Vikings / Anglo Saxon history

trip, Year 4 visited Leeds Royal Armouries

Museum.

The pupils visited two workshops; ‘Saxon

Sagas’, where they did lots of drama and

‘Digging the Helmet’

where they were

archaeologists.

They toured the

museum and saw a

re-enactment of a

sword fight!

Year 6 learnt about healthy cooking before

preparing a feast to share with parents.

They created and made their own recipes

before producing a recipe book. Everyone

agreed the food was delicious! Everyone in

Year 6 would like to say a huge thank you to

the Friends of Martongate who provided the

enrichment money to be able to purchase the

ingredients and samples to evaluate.

Mrs Briggs has recently celebrated 25 Years

service at the school. She started as a

Mid Day Supervisor and then became a

Teaching Assistant and has carried out

Higher Lever Teaching

Assistant duties.

We are sure that some of

our parents will remember

Mrs Briggs from their time

at Martongate!

The team competed at Flamborough Golf

Club on Tuesday 30th April 2019 at the

Partnership Competition where they

came 1st and 2nd.

2nd - 915 = Martongate 2

3rd - 748 = Burlington

4th - 483 = Flamborough 1

The team competed at the Level 3 Humber Games on

Friday 12th July 2019 where they were crowned champions. This is now the

sixth year that the schools golf team have won the competition.

TEDDY BEAR PIICNIC

The EYFS and KS1 children

enjoyed a lovely picnic which

was prepared by

the school kitchen.

There was a moment where

the rain appeared but we still

had lots of fun with

our Teddy Bears.

Martongate’s gymnastics team were

recently awarded 2nd place at the

Schools Sport Partnership awards

evening in Beverley.

Although they only train for 90 minutes

a week, this year they have competed

and won medals in many

Yorkshire Championships; most recently

coming 3rd in England.

What a massive achievement.

They had to learn different and difficult

skills for new competitions showing

enthusiasm and passion throughout

their routines. The gymnasts were

inspirational and respectful throughout

all of their competitions.

What a brilliant afternoon at our

‘School Race For Life’ event.

Every child in the school ran or walked

around the field with staff and parents

joining in too! We collected £82.01 in

our bucket for this charity.

YEAR 5

RECORDERS

Class 11 and Class 12 have been

learning to play the recorder

this year.

The Friends of Martongate

purchased 60 recorders for the

Thank you.

Miss Fellows, Miss Pummell and

Mrs Smith said it has

been an enjoyable yet

memorable experience!

They played a fantastic

game and won

the competition.

The entrepreneurial Year 6 children made huge profits when

they sold their projects at the Summer Fair. After weeks of

planning, market research, designing and making, they were

able to sell their goods which proved to be very popular with the customers!

Martongate School have worked

very hard over the past two years to

ensure that our nurturing met the

standard required for

The National Nurturing Schools

Program Accreditation. We would

like to announce that we are now

one of a limited number of National

schools that have received this

recognition.

Well done to everybody involved.

Year 6 had an amazing day at

Let Loose in Beverley. The chil-

dren deserved a reward for all

their hard work this year .

The staff at Let Loose commented

on their fantastic behaviour!

What a great way to end the year!

Martongate’s Book Club Summer Reading

Not sure what to read? Here are some ideas to help to

get you started This term’s theme is friendship

EYFS and KS1

The Squirrels who Squabbled by Rachel bright and

Sam Field

It is the start of autumn and two very greedy squirrels

want the same pine-nut.

This book is filled with fun and has a very happy ending!

Lower KS2

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White

A well-loved tale which has certainly stood the test of

time filled with bravery, friendship and some animal

magic!

There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom by Louis Sachar

Bradley Chalkers often finds himself in trouble until he

starts to believe in himself.

This is a hilarious tale about self-discovery and what you

can achieve when you find some friends.
