Basketball half term holiday camps
There are the last remaining places available on these half term City of Leeds Basketball Club holiday camps held locally at Allerton High School.
School dinner menu
After February half term, we start our new menu which runs to the end of the year. It can be viewed here. Please review this with your child to help with their selection at the start of the day. We continue to offer meat free Mondays.
The cost of a school meal is:
- children in Reception, Years 1 and 2: this is free because of universal infant free school meals
- children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6: £3.05 for children in Years 3 to 6
Payment should be paid in advance on the Arbor app. We’re happy to accept payment for the week, month, half term or term. We prefer two weeks’ notice to change lunch arrangements.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive free school meals. If your child is in Year 3 to Year 6, and you are on benefits or a low income, your child may be eligible for free school meals.
Some people like to choose a mix of school dinners and packed lunch for their child – that’s absolutely fine, as long as it’s a the same pattern of school dinners and packed lunches every week. Just let office staff know which days you’d like to opt in for a school meal in the week, and which days you’d prefer to provide your child with a packed lunch.
We continue to gather feedback from children on our school meals.
If you have any feedback, please do get in touch.
Topic: A trip to Abbey House Museum.
As another week comes towards its end, our wonderful Year 1s have had another great one. Today our Year 1s and 2s went on a school trip to Abbey House Museum. This was to carry on their learning and deepen their understanding around their History topic; Toys. They took part in a workshop where they looked at different toys from the past and the present to see the differences between them and how they have changed over time.
They also got to take a step back in time and walk along the cobbled streets of Abbey House Museum to gain an understanding of what life looked like back in the late 1800s. Some of them even had the opportunity to experience what life was like in a prison cell in the late 19th century!
Well done on another great school trip Year 1!
Living and Learning: I know the importance of the emergency services.
As we move onto another week of our half term let’s have a look at our previous Living and Learning statement from last week; I know the importance of the emergency services. Our wonderful Year 1s worked really hard on their understanding of the importance of the emergency services. They shared some great ideas and questions around our statement. One question that stood out was “Can we call them at any time (of the day)?”. This was one of many great questions our Year 1s had during last week’s L&L session.
Well done Year 1!
Reading: The Tiger Who Came to Tea
This week in school our wonderful Year 1s have been reading The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr. They were tasked to think of some questions to ask each character from our story, around information they would like to find out that isn’t told in the story. They did an amazing job on this and the children came up with some great questions. Our favourite question is in the picture attached below.
One more week done, well done Year 1!
Maths- A shape hunt. (And a big thank you.)
Our Year 1s are having another lovely week in school showing off their maths skills. This week we took the children outside to go on a shape hunt. They went around the green finding different 2D shapes, then they noted down the shape, firstly by drawing it, then the name of the shape, by writing it, and the quantity of that shape, by counting each one. They did really well in this activity and followed our school rules of being, respectful, ready and safe.
As well as welcoming our Year 1s back over the last 2 weeks we have had our wonderful Mrs Boyle return too. She was unable to receive and thank you all for her lovely cards and presents before we broke up so she has asked to add this in: “I am blown away with all of your generosity. Thank you very much and I hope you all had a lovely (and restful) break.”
Welcome back Year 1 – How our first day back went.
Welcome back Year 1! After a lovely Christmas / new year break our Year 1s are back and eager to get going with our half term. They have had a really productive day today, showing off their maths, phonics and reading skills. Some have definitely been practising over the break, well done!
In maths today the year 1s learnt about shape and revisited number formation (it’s always beneficial to revisit our learning, especially after a break). They really impressed us with their number formation, some even managed to go up to 100! Our Year 1s also did a great job working with 2D shapes in class, identifying and discussing each shape.
