Hobby Half Day
On the last day of the half-term, children enjoyed another successful Hobby Half Day with all sorts of activities going on! From i-jamming on iPads to fitness circuits, all of the children had a very busy afternoon. All ages of children were working together and learning from each other and every classroom was a hive of activity. Here are just a few photos to show you what was going on.
Bones are us!
You might be interested to know about a free Science lecture, ‘Bones are us‘, at Leeds Metropolitan University coming soon: “A fun and interactive exploration for children and parents”. It’s aimed at 7 – 11 year olds, although siblings may also attend.
The lecture is on Saturday 17 March 2012 from 10:15am to 12:00noon (this includes a break). It will be held in the James Graham Building, Headingley Campus, Beckett Park. Parking is free and a map will be provided on request, or visit http://www.leedsmet.ac.uk/about/files/campusmaps.pdf

Chickwatch 2012
We now have nine little chicks! Three to go (hopefully). Most of the chicks are now out of the incubator and in the brooder box.

New Residents
Here are the first chicks to hatch in the incubator. There are currently nine chicks that have hatched.
Feel free to come and have a look after school. They’d love to meet you! Be prepared to wash your hands though. We’ve already had a few accidents!
February Family Fun
Throughout half term, Harrogate Theatre are running a Heroes and Villains Activity Week. On the Thursday and Friday, there are activities aimed at 6-8 year olds. Workshops including puppetry and mask-making are on offer with the theme of Heroes and Villains. Tickets can be purchased from Harrogate Box Office.
Our new friends!
Wonderful writing
Look at the complex sentences Y2 children have been writing! A complex sentence has a main ‘part’ (the main clause) and an extra ‘add-in’ part which doesn’t make sense on its own (we call these opener add-ins, but the grammatical term is a subordinate clause).
The eggs have hatched!
As we’re sure most of you are aware, Year 3 and 4 and have inherited some eggs this week. We have twelve eggs and so far five have hatched. They are being kept in a same place.
Chickwatch 2012
We now have five chicks that have hatched!
Two of the older chicks have now moved to the brooder box where they have a bit more space to move around. Fingers crossed, we will have a few more by tomorrow morning!
Eggciting times!
We have chicks!
Year 3 and 4 are having an eggcellent time this week!
This morning, we arrived in school to find two of our chicks have hatched!
Photos to follow soon…
