Gledhow vs Moortown Year 5 football team match report by Lennox
We played Gledhow Primary School. I think we were the better side as the wingers, Archie, Sam and Bailey, ran the show. They crossed the ball on countless opportunities to the strikers. I hit the post twice with two left footed shots. The defenders were great when they cleared the ball and used their strength against their attackers. Unfortunately we lost 4-0 but we played much better than before.
Feeling inspired by our latest art themed topic, Katie and… then you might be interested in this event at Leeds Art Gallery on Saturday.

When: Saturday 18 October 11am-4pm
Where: Leeds Art Gallery
Well done to every child in Year 1 for a great assembly this afternoon. Special thanks to Byron who offered to take over Arundeep’s lines.
The children have all tried very hard this week to learn lines, use props and to speak in front of an audience. There were a few nerves but also excitement this afternoon. Aisha summed it up well: ‘That was fun!’
Thank you to all the family and friends who came to watch.
Good luck with the Wake up Shake up routine tomorrow.
Did you take part in the Leeds Beckett University packed lunch parent survey? Today the findings are published, revealing parents’ choices in providing children’s packed lunches.
As part of our Big Topic, Katie and…, we have been finding out about art from around the world – a good chance to check our geographical knowledge from our recent Where in the World topic, too.
Aboriginal art has certain features that we tried to include in our own examples. Can you see them in the work below?
Tag rugby, tennis, netball and cross country were some of our sporting successes last year as part of the Sainsbury’s School Games programme. Upcoming competitions this term include athletics and cross country. Details to follow!
From balances to relaxation, Year 1 had a very calming end of the day with a yoga session with Roisin who runs a local children’s yoga class at Yoga Kula in Chapel Allerton. Information will be sent out about her class for any children who are interested in doing yoga regularly.
Take a look at some of our poses.
Today we have started our new Big Topic, Katie and… based on the books by James Mayhew.
Year 1 had some great group discussions about likes and dislikes of a number of famous paintings. We concluded that it was ok to each have our own opinions and to respect others’ opinions, too.
Registration forms are available from the office for the St Gemma’s Happy Walk on Saturday 20 September at 10am.
One of our chosen school charities, St Gemma’s Hospice, is holding their first ever Happy Walk on Saturday 20 September. This is a good opportunity to support our school charity but also to take part in a great morning with your family while walking 3.5 or 5.5 miles around Roundhay Park. The event starts at 10am.
We’ll be co-ordinating registration for the event and registration forms are available now from the office.
Entrance for this event is £5 (children under 12 walk free) and each walker will get a free hot drink and cake. All participants are asked to raise sponsorship money. It is also a pram and wheelchair friendly route so the whole family really can get involved.
There will be an activity pack that children can take with them on the walk where they can look out for wildlife and take some tree rubbings. Before the walk starts there will also be a face painter, a chance to meet Olaf from Frozen, and time to make your own Happy Loom band to wear and keep.
St Gemma’s are also encouraging all walkers to wear what makes them Happy on the walk – whether that’s a silly hat, fluffy socks or a brightly coloured t-shirt.
We hope you are able to join in with the St Gemma’s Happy Walk.
The KS2 fruit tuck shop returns next Tuesday 16 September with prices remaining at 20p per item.
The KS2 fruit tuck shop returns next Tuesday 16 September with prices remaining at 20p per item. Open to Years 3 – 6, children can come to the tuck shop at playtime to purchase items from a selection of fresh and dried fruits. There is an option to pre-pay so your child doesn’t have to remember to bring money to school. As an extra incentive, you get one week free if you pre-pay for this term. Please return the letter to the office or ask in the office for more information. The Year 5 class will be receiving their training this week to run the tuck shop and look forward to lots of new and regular customers next Tuesday.
