Whole school Sporting Influence Cross Country
On Wednesday 20th November 2024 a group of people from each class years 1-6 competed in a cross country competition at Outwood Academy. Although it was cold it was still very enjoyable. The Year 5 girls went first they had to do three laps of the field we came very close to winning, 2 of our girls came in 4th or 5th but all of the girls did really well. It was the turn of the Year 5 and 6 boys next. We also had to do three laps, and againsoem f our pupils came in the top ten. Then we had Year 1 and 2 run they had to do 1 and a half laps of the field, we also had some amazingly good placement. Then it was Year 3 and 4's run they had to do 2 laps of the field we also had another couple of really good placements. Even though it was freezing cold we did amazingly well and had fun. Overall we did really well and hopefully we came first out of many tough schools.

We had won out cluster and qualified for these finals. There were 6 teams playing including us. Our first match was against Rossett Acre we on this match 5 to 0. Olivia did some great shooting. Next match was gaainast Great Ouseburn which we won and scored another 3 points. Lainey was outstanding with her defence. Next was Pannal whch we were most nervous about and this was a tough gaem. The score reflected this as we drew 2-2. We then went on to play Kirk Hammerton and won against them 5 to 3. We played against one of our rivals from a extrenal xlub so we were worried we might get beaten, bur we didn't. Another 3 points scored. The last game was Birstwith all we wanted to do was win to try and get as many points as possible. We beat Birtswith 6-0. The points were collected and it was announced but was extremely close.

Year 6 Netball Tournament 9th October
On Wednesday 9th October the year 6 girls went to Outwood Academy for a netball tournament against 7 other schools. We played 4 matches and had lots of fun. Sadly, it was raining. But as the morning went on it gradually got drier until it was only light spitting. The first game was 5-0 to us. The second was also 5-0. This meant we started to gain confidence and embrace the game even more. The third game was another win! 5-1. This meant we were through to the finals! The score in the final was........... 3-0 to us!!!We won the tournament! We are so proud of ourselves and are looking forward to the final against the winners of the other local areas competitions. We would like to say a big thank you to Miss Riddler for taking us- we had lots of fun!

Utilita kids football Tournament
Nine children went to Harrogate high school to participate in a national football tournament. The team played 7 games in the first round and didn't lose a game or concede a single goal. This put us in the 2nd qualification spot so we were put into the semi-final and played Rossett. Unfortunately we didn't score but it was a nail biting match and had to be decided by penalties. We lost 2-1. The children were disappointed but on reflection could see how well we did to get as far as we did. Well done to team Bishop Monkton.

I received a surprise in the post from North Yorkshire Sport, I was not expecting anything. Once I opened it I was absolutely delighted, it was full of medals, it took me a while to figure out where they were from and what they were for. I read the short letter and soon realised that it was from the Dance competition we entered back in November with the Year 2 children.
I am extremely delighted to say that the Year 2 children came 3rd overall in the North Yorkshire Area. Many congratulations to the Dancers you were amazing. A special note is I actually taught them the dance, how did I know I would become a choreographer, always knew I had the moves

Bikeability 23rd/24th March 2021
Over two days the Y6 children took part in the Bikeability course in school, thankfully and luckily the weather was really kind to them. The children learnt level 1 skills around the school playground learning how to control their bikes in the safety of the school grounds and once they mastered those skills they took part in the level 2 aspect of this course in and around the village on the roads. Well done to all the year 6 who took part and hopefully have learnt valuable skills for life.

Spring Term 2021 - January
Unfortunately, we are in lockdown again. It is a very important time for us all to make sure we look after not only our physical fitness but our mental health and well-being too. Ways to do this is to keep active and we as a school are still strongly encouraging you to do this every day. Take a break in-between your lessons, even if it is just for a 5 minute break, have a stretch, wander around the house or go outside and get some fresh air.
We are putting on daily PE challenges for you to take part in and we are still planning PE for you to do at home/school. We understand you might not have all the equipment, but you can be imaginative!
Take part in the daily 15 minutes of walking/running/cycling or even on your scooter. Make a note of how far you have travelled in that 15 minutes each day and each week send your total to Mr Coupland, r.coupland@bishopmonkton.n-yorks.sch.uk. We are collating all distances together for our epic journey of travelling to Toyko in Japan for the Summer Olympics. The distance we need to complete is 5,815 miles!!! - so get walking etc.,
More importantly, keep safe and well.
