The Cundall Go Kart Race
The Go-Kart Race No Summer half term break would be quite the same without the whole school first running the gamut of the Cundall Go Kart entries. From highly engineered bespoke vehicles and especially adapted motability scooters, to dustbins and barrels, all manner of vehicle took to the slope of the playing fields for the perennially, wonderfully, heart-stoppingly mad-cap dash to the bottom of the slope. This year’s 37 entries were supreme in their variety and their speed, with both the 11 second barrier and the track record being smashed! Congratulations to first second and third placed karters James Green in ‘Second to None’, Sandy Turner in ‘GB’ and Guy Atkinson in ‘Lewis Airway’, and to all our other fearless contenders.
The Cundall Walk
There were plenty of wagging tails around school on the last day of last half term, as almost as many dogs as children set off for the annual fundraising walk around the beautiful countryside surround the school. Sadly for the dogs, they were not invited into the gym for the wonderful tea time treats that awaited the two legged companions. Thank you to the catering staff who laid on such a wonderful spread – and to Mrs O’Neill for the gorgeous AstroTurf cake!
A message from Romania
Fee Ruddy has asked to share everyone at Cundall the message she has received from a lady called Mimi who co-ordinates the distribution of the items received from Yorkshire Aid Convoy. The photos show the Romanian children wearing the school uniform we sent them through the charity. “Dear Yorkshire Aid Convoy I received this email with the children from school. They are in the new uniforms from you and they are very proud and happy. I was yesterday at school and the teachers said to me that those of the children who received uniforms were so, so happy. Some of the boys were so sweet thinking that I was bringing you again at them with balls and sports equipment. We laugh and I told them to be paciente (sic) and to wait until next year. ….Everybody was very happy with all the goods; I was very happy for everything because all the goods were so SPECIAL !!!All our love to you and Allison, all our gratitude and love to everybody !!! Mimi”
