Crew Councillors will be going around classes from tomorrow with our Poppy Appeal products. We have recommended donations of £1 for snap bands, wristbands and stationery with zip tags and key rings 50p.
This afternoon, we have been creating our school wreath ready to send to the Remembrance Day Celebrations.
A great day was had by Y6 as we visited Tropical World in Leeds to further develop our understanding of biomes and habitats. Children were surprised by the humidity within the centre which made us realise what the conditions would be like in the Amazon Rainforest. Fortunately, the weather was on our side and we were also able to explore parts of Roundhay Park; taking part in a workshop comparing this forest to a rainforest.
The competition is the first part of our “Kitchen Nightmares” campaign that will be running throughout the autumn. Children aged between 6-12 are invited to take part.
Our advice to help you avoid a kitchen nightmare is:

A reminder that tomorrow will be a whole school non-uniform day to raise money for the NSPCC. We are asking for a donation of £1 to support their charity.
Challenge – To end the week, could you complete a random act of kindness at home or in our local community and send a photograph to your teacher.
Over the last 3 weeks we have been investigating friction. We started by looking at how far toy cars moved on different surfaces. We looked for similarities and differences between the surfaces. We found that rough bumpy surfaces had more friction than smooth shiny ones. We used what we found to create our own surface to try and slow down a ball.
This week, we tested our surfaces to see which slowed the ball down quickest. We predicted which surface would be the best, created a results table and then found the average distance.
A huge shout out to this weeks HOWL point winners and Crew champions! Keep up the great work – we’re all very proud!
A huge well done to these children in Year 5/6 who have impressed their crew leaders with their reading so far this year. I hope you all enjoy reading your new book!!
Keep up the great work!
