Wake Up! Shake Up!
Well done to our Year 1 and 2 children on reaching the final of the Key Stage 1 Wake Up! Shake Up! competition. The children put a lot of effort into practising and were an absolute delight to take to represent our school. Thank you to the parents of the children for helping with lifts and coming along to support us.

Yoga fun
We were lucky enough to enjoy a morning of yoga last week. Here are some of the children enjoying the relaxing benefits.

Scratch the surface
Scratch the surface is a summer school project for Y5 and Y6 pupils. If your child is interested in computers, gaming, art and design, or animation, then this will definitely be of interest!
The club runs from Monday 13 August to Thursday 16 August from 10am to 3pm. It happens at the North Leeds City Learning Centre, which is situated close to Allerton Grange High School.
If you’d like to know more, contact Nick Field on 0113 288 3500.
Poetry
Take a look at our class kenning poem. Can you guess what animal it is?
A poisonous-spitter
A mouse-eater
A stealthy-slitherer
A camouflaged-rattler
A deadly killer!
Testing the Pirate Rafts
Here is a video of us testing our completed pirate rafts. The winning raft held exactly 390 grams before sinking!

Pirate Raft Building
In our DT lessons, the children have been working as a group to design, build, test and evaluate a pirate raft.
They had to design a raft to escape on because their pirate ship was sinking. The raft had to be strong enough to carry their treasure and the children could only use materials and tools that would likely be on a pirate ship.
