Hello,
Only one week to go until the end of the school year! We have had lots going on again this week...
It was Sports Day on Monday and in true primary school Sports Day fashion, it rained quite heavily not long after starting the KS2 event in the afternoon! The children were very resilient and completed their races but I think we were all glad to get back inside! Click the link below to see a few highlights of UKS2 in action before the rain meant we had to put the cameras away!
UKS2 Sports Day 2023 Highlights
The Year 6's put on a great performance of Robin and The Sherwood Hoodies this week. They have busy rehearsing for the last few weeks and it was lovely to be able to share this with the rest of the school on Tuesday for the dress rehearsal and with an audience of parents and carers on Wednesday afternoon.
Y5 had been invited to Benton Park next Monday for a science workshop and asked to bring a packed lunch - Sadly Benton Park are no longer able to facilitate this so your child can return to their normal lunch arrangements.
Have a good weekend :)

Hi,
We have had another really busy week in 5/6!
All the children in Year 6 have been busy completing Bikeability as they learn how to cycle safely. When they haven't been out cycling they have been rehearsing for the leavers' production and sound to be doing a great job!
Some Year 5 children visited the ALPT art exhibition on Wednesday morning with Mrs Millen. They had a go at some art activities organised by the secondary schools and had chance to browse the exhibition. They enjoyed their trip out and represented the school well.
Also representing the school this week was half of Y5 book club. They attended an event at Horsforth library on Wednesday afternoon which was run by the Leeds Book Awards team. The books we are reading this time are taken from the LBA shortlist and so far we are really enjoying them! The children were "LBA detectives" and had to work with children from other schools to complete a range of activities linked to the three books.
Finally, we would love to share with you some of the fantastic artwork we did this week. We have been completing artwork linked to birds this term and this week we printed feathers. We used our observational drawings of feathers from our previous lesson to design a feather on a polystyrene tile and then applied printing ink to create beautiful feather prints. We practised in our sketchbooks and chose to mix our inks in different shades of blue to create a collaborative kingfisher piece of art.
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi,
We had a slightly shorter this week due to the teacher training day. I hope you all enjoy your long weekend!
We enjoyed finishing our artwork this week for the ALPT art exhibition. I hope some of you are able to visit! Some Year 5's will be visiting next week with Mrs Millen.
Next week is a busy week for Year 5 as some members of book club will be attending an event at Horsforth Ballroom with me as part of Leeds Book Awards.
Year 6 have also been busy as they have started practising for their production now parts have been allocated!
We have an exciting few weeks ahead!
