Playground leaders (pupils) wanted!

28th March 2024Simon Gerrard

To help make break times even better we are asking for the children to volunteer to be a playground leader (in KS2). This will include a vote.

If this role is something that you are interested in, create a poster that shows:

  • Why you would be a great playground leader?
  • How can you help adults at break time?
  • What ideas you have for playtime games?
  • What character traits you will show with this
  • Are you confident to lead other children?

If you wanted to do a bit of Easter homework (no pressure) then you can create the poster, as mentioned above.

The deadline for this (sent to class teachers) will be Wednesday 17th April.

Girls football tournament!

15th March 2024Simon Gerrard

Wow! What a massive well done to the girls who participated in the football tournament over at XP as part of our Trust competitions. We did such a great job that we scored plenty of goals, didn’t concede and ended up winning the tournament overall.

The best thing was seeing the enjoyment of girls who have played together and those making their way into such a great game. Keep your eyes posted for more photos of the tournament from Mr Ambler!

A massive well done to the girls for being such super stars and to the adults for taking you to the tournament! Rest up and have a great weekend 🙂

Class 10 forces experiment!

6th March 2024Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 10 have made predictions about how friction will affect how vehicles travel. We tested the car on different surfaces and found that, the smoother the surface, the further the car went. However, the rougher or bumpier the surface, the more friction there was and the car would travel less distance.

Well done Class 10 on working so well together! 🙂

Y3 PE

4th March 2024Simon Gerrard

Just a reminder that PE is on a Monday and to wear suitable clothing for it. Green polo (white if not green) with a sensible warm jumper if required. Shorts or tracksuit bottoms and no football kits for PE.

Class 10 magnets! 🧲

28th February 2024Simon Gerrard

What a great lesson from Class 10, today! We experimented with magnets and put on our scientific hats with the hope of finding out what materials were magnetic and which weren’t. We accurately predicted that the items made of metal (paper clips, coins and table legs) would attract the magnet, but items that were not made of metal (rulers, paper and rubbers) would not attract them.

However, some did try to trick me into thinking that plastic was magnetic!

Keep up the great scientific work, Class 10! 🙂

Class 9’s Wildlife Park Adventures

28th February 2024Samantha Good

Last week we had the most wonderful day exploring Yorkshire Wildlife Park! The sun was shining and we certainly got some steps in. Lots of fun for everyone and some beautiful animals.
we even got to attend a classroom session to learn more about Polar Bears and their fascinating habitat. So many gorgeous photos, it was hard to choose just a few!!

Roaring success at YWP! 😆

20th February 2024Simon Gerrard

Class 10 have walked for miles and seemed tried after a bus journey, but loved their day at YWP seeing so many incredible animals. We were very excited to get in and start exploring!

We then went to see the lions, but they didn’t like the early start, so off we went to see the polar bears and the warty pigs!

After that, we went to see some of the giant otters, including the baby have their breakfast, the monkeys and then walk with the wallabies!

We then finished off wandering the tigers, the leopard and the giraffes and then finally finished with a workshop on polar bears!

We even cam face to face with a terrifying polar bear!

A huge well done to Class 10 for how they behaved around YWP and a massive thank you for all of our parent volunteers – we really appreciate you coming! 🙂
