Green fingered gardeners
We’re giving our outside area a makeover. Today, we planted flowers and herbs.
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.
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.
Maths – the numbers within
The children have been learning to see small numbers within bigger numbers. They used Numicon and drew pictures to represent their learning.
Can your child tell you which numbers when added together equal 6?
After-school clubs
We’ve had a great start to our summer term after-school clubs with Wake up Shake up Club and Scooter Club taking place tonight.
If your child is coming to Scooter Club, please ensure they bring their scooter and helmet every Monday.
Alien invasion!
This morning was out of this world! Reception arrived to discover an alien in our reading area. After some investigation, we found an abandoned slime-covered spaceship outside! Pog the alien wrote us a letter and asked for our help. Children wrote instructions to help Pog learn to live on Earth. Some children even got sent a letter from King Eldon of Planet Zee28!
Why not talk to your child about what else they could do to teach Pog how to live amongst humans! Or maybe your child could think of a question to ask Pog.
