Green fingered gardeners
We’re giving our outside area a makeover. Today, we planted flowers and herbs.
If you’re missing Y4…
…they’re not missing us! Look at the fun they’re having on residential at Herd Farm. The sun is shining and they are having an amazing time. Some great expressions of concentration but all having a lot of fun.
Cricket
Year 6 had their first cricket lesson this week and they all really enjoyed it. They started off with some simple drills practising their throwing and catching skills before moving very quickly into a big batting and fielding game. We then finished off with some quick cricket which we’ll be playing again next week after some batting and bowling practice.
Leeds Gymnastics Club trial
Leeds Gymnastics Club, who run our gymnastics after-school club, are running an open gymnastics trial at the club, on Sunday 27 May, for any children born in 2012/13. This will be for a place in their development group.
Gymnasts will be selected based on their athleticism, strength and flexibility, but also based on their ability to concentrate, persevere and focus.
Year 2 cricket festival
Just to confirm, we’ve been allocated extra places for the Year 2 cricket festival next Tuesday afternoon, 08.05.18, at Old Leos cricket club, so the whole class will be going.
We have still got some outstanding permissions for the visit so please complete this as soon as possible.
Thank you to those parents who have offered to help with transport. We have enough support now but if you can provide any booster seats to use on the day, we require four more.
The children will be having their lunch before we set off and they need outdoor PE kit as well as their water bottle in school.
We’ll return to school by the end of the day.
The forecast currently looks good for Tuesday so a hat and suncream (applied at home before school) might be needed!
Fraction Pizzas
Yesterday, we made fraction pizzas! The journey started on Monday when we designed our delicious doughs and tasty toppings.
Next, it was time to get started!
We worked as a team to make the dough by reading the instructions, weighing and measuring.
Once the ingredients were in the bowl, it was time to mix! This was the really fun part!
Next came kneading to make the dough stretchy like elastic…
… and on to rolling and shaping into a rough circle.
Toppings time!
Ethan C said: “You’ll need to cut the cheese into sixteenths for our group.” After discussing that we would only need cheese enough for a block between two, he said, “OK- just eighths then!”
Talha said: “The best part was mixing the dough.”
The pizzas turned out brilliantly and I hope they were as good to eat as they were to look at. Well done, everyone!
Girls Golf Rocks
A great opportunity to try out a new activity locally.
All Stars cricket
All Stars Cricket will soon be starting their cricket programme at local clubs. Register and find out more on their website.
Big Pedal – our best day so far!
Today, we’ve recorded the highest number of active journeys by bike and scooter for the Big Pedal – 64 pupils (30%).
It would be great to increase these figures for the last few days of the Big Pedal.
