Captain Tom’s 101 Final Flurry!

On the final day of the Captain Tom’s 101 Challenge, the whole school had an assembly to celebrate the challenge.  Mr. Farry hosted a virtual whole school assembly on Zoom to announce the winners from each class and the total money raised for the week.  So during the week the children have been doing different physical activities linked to 101.  Some examples were: starjumps, laps around the yard, burpees, throwing and catching, bouncing balls and other like minded activities.

A winner from each class (someone who their teacher felt put in the most effort during the task), was selected and each child received a sports water bottle to keep them hydrated when exercising.

In total the children and staff raised £160 , the money will be going to the MacMillan charity, which is linked to a fundraiser from a parent of a previous school Mrs. McFadden who is raising awareness for that charities cause.

Thank you to all the children for engaging with the event and to parents & staff for helping us raise the money for a great cause!

Mr D. Farry

Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
