Hi,
The highlight of this week was definitely sports day! It was great to be able to return to a whole KS2 event and welcome parents back to watch. Here are a few snapshots from Wednesday afternoon!
Year 6 were also very excited this week as they received their leavers' hoodies which were very kindly paid for by the PTA.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

Hi,
On Wednesday a group of Year 6's visited the ALPT art exhibition and saw the work all the children from local schools had created for the event. They also had a go at some jelly printing which they really enjoyed.
Year 5 have been busy continuing their work on angles in maths and we have really been getting into our class guided reading novel, "Who Let the Gods Out". The children are really enjoying this text and laughing along so it has been a lovely way to end the year.
Some of the Year 5's also represented the school at a football tournament on Wednesday evening and made it through to a semi final. Sadly, they didn't come home as the overall winners but they still had a fantastic time and played really well.

Hi,
This week we have finally enjoyed some sunny weather in school (although Friday may have been a little too hot!). Just a reminder as the temperatures do increase, please make sure your child has a water bottle in school everyday and wears/brings sun cream to apply when necessary. Sensible sun hats are also encouraged.
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been working on algebra whilst my group have started to learn about the properties of shape. So far we have recapped what we know already about angles and are ready to apply this to our new learning in the next few weeks.
In English, we have been publishing our excellent Greek myths (have a look below at some of our finished pieces) and Y6 have also been busy reading through the script for their leavers' production.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)

Hi,
I hope you all had a lovely half term break and feel rested and ready for a busy FINAL half term! The end of the year always seems to come around so quickly!
We had more sporting events taking place this week with the Year 6 girls netball team taking part in the Leeds North West League Tournament on Monday evening. Sadly, we didn't qualify for this year's final but the girls played exceptionally well considering we only started up our netball club in November and some of them had never played before! They did a superb job of representing the school with their excellent behaviour and positive attitudes and we are very proud of them.
A mixed group of Year 5's also represented the school at an indoor athletics event on Wednesday and did a great job despite competing against lots of Year 6's from other schools!
Year 6's who will be leaving us to go to Benton Park in September were out on Thursday to visit their new school and from their feedback it sounds like they had a great day and are very much looking forward to September.
Have a good weekend :)
