Hello,
We waited all that time for the summer to arrive and now it has I'm not sure many of us are happy about it! It was been incredibly HOT in the upstairs classrooms this week but the children have been amazing and really persevered (thank goodness it came after SATs though!).
This week we have semi "auditioned" for parts for our leavers show, counted up our Grow a Fiver profits and most importantly - completed our pieces for annual ALPT art exhibition being held at St Oswald's Church over the weekend. This year the theme was "Nursery Rhymes" so each phase in school chose one nursery rhyme to base their artwork on. We opted for "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, once I caught a fish alive..." as our art topic this term is the Seaside so it fit perfectly with the work we were already doing! UKS2 worked really hard to perfect their watercolour techniques and painted some beautiful fish. Our amazing work experience helpers last week constructed us a "pond" backing for us to display our work on and I think the finished result is very effective.
Have a lovely weekend - hopefully cooler next week!

Hello,
We had another successful "Grow a Fiver" event on Wednesday afternoon. Year 6 have been so busy publishing their Greek myths this week though that we have not yet had chance to count the final takings. We think we are on track for a record breaking year though so thank you so much to everyone who came and supported this event.
It is the both the Benton and Guiseley transition days on Wednesday of next week. Please check the relevant information sent directly to you from your child's chosen high school for further information.
The following week is Bikeability so if your child is bringing their own bike/helmet it might be a good idea over the next week or so to give their equipment a check over to make sure it is road safe.
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunny weather (finally)!
