Today, a week earlier than planned, we have planted 75 trees!
A huge thanks to The Woodland Trust who very kindly donated 75 trees to us here at school for the children to plant! You can read about The Woodland Trust on their website
Graham Jackson-Pitt and Alice Helyar helped the children plant the trees today on the Village Hall field, thank you also to the Trustees of AVH for letting us extend their woodland area.
What a fabulous day for World Book Day! This year, we set the challenge to dress as a word and what a brilliant and imaginative selection of words we have seen!
Fragile, Flamboyant, Puzzled, Rainbow, Injured and Odd to name a few! Mrs Ingram is Emotional!
The children are using all these words to be creative with their writing and making some great sentences.
Thank you to you all for such a great World Book Day!

This year we had our Christmas Dinner in Arkholme Village Hall as it has become too much of a squeeze to fit us all in the school hall over the last few years!
A big thank you to Mel in our school kitchen for cooking a delicious Christmas dinner!
Arkholme’s first Procession Of Light was a fantastic evening, which was incredibly well attended despite the rain!
The lanterns looked magical leading the way up Main Street, stopping at various points along the way to hear the story of Christmas. Members of the school choir sung for us once we got back to school and the refreshments which were provided by Arkholme with Cawood Parish Council were enjoyed by all.
Thank you to everyone who helped, came along and took part in the event, it was a great event attended by the whole community.
This week, Leo asked Mrs Muckalt if he could add an event to the Spread the Happiness calendar, today was the day!
Leo and Joshua worked hard to make the event happen and lots of happiness was spread!
Kingfisher Class had a wonderful time on their residential trip last week, here are some pictures.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Remembrance service on Monday, the children worked very hard, thank you to Owl class for leading the service.
