Homework
Yet again, Year 4 have shown how creative they can be. We looked carefully at each other’s work and the children enjoyed commenting on work that particularly stood out to them. It was an absolute pleasure to see how much thought and creativity had gone into the homework produced.
We’d like to share some of them with you.
Buddies
In our class we have several different options of what to do when we are a little stuck with our learning. We call this Brain, Buddy, Boss. Here is a great example of a buddy supporting someone.
Cookery after-school club
At cookery club this evening, the recipe was a simple vegetarian curry. Hope the children enjoyed their tea!
For those who didn’t attend, here is the recipe to try at home.
Bonfire Celebrations themed menu
Catering Agency, our school meal provider, will be running a special themed menu on Wednesday 02 November: Bonfire Celebrations. Please contact the office if your child would like a school dinner on this day.
School Saving Club
Does your child have a School Saving Club account in association with Leeds Credit Union?
If so, our next paying in date is this Thursday 13 October 3.15-3.45pm. If you can’t make this date, then the next one will be on Thursday 08 December at 3.15-3.45pm.
Children must be accompanied to the sessions.
If you can’t attend the date, you can bring money to the office in a sealed envelope marked School Saving Club for the attention of Miss Hale.
School Saving Club accounts can still be opened. Please ask at the office for an application form.
Children who are in Year 3 will have their account credited by Leeds City Council with £10 once opened.
We love to read!
Whether it’s a novel, comic, newspaper, dictionary, thesaurus or an information book, Year 4 love to read.
Reading for pleasure and enjoyment is so very important and these photos show us doing just that.
More gymnastics
Today, the children continued with their gymnastics. We have been learning various types of balances and rolls.
I set them a task today to create a short sequence of movements with a partner. They had to think about previous learning and try to incorporate a hoop into their routines. There were some great ideas, super team work and even some demonstrations.
Assembly
Thank you to everyone who came to watch the assembly today. The children have worked very hard to learn all their parts and lines. Mr Owen and I were very proud of all the chlidren.
WARNING: DO NOT MAKE GRANDMA’S MEDICINE AT HOME! 
Scoot the Route
We’ve had a great response to the Scoot the Route scooter promotion this week with lots of names in the draw for one of our five prizes tomorrow. There is one more chance tomorrow.
We’d love to see the children continue to use their scooters, alongside walking and biking to school, to prevent congestion, improve safety and have a happy, healthy and active start to the day!
Yorkshire’s Rio Heroes
Welcome back Yorkshire’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes with a special homecoming parade! On Wednesday 28 September, a carnival atmosphere will take hold of Leeds as the athletes are welcomed home in true Yorkshire style.
A host of athletes have confirmed their attendance, including triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee; World, European and Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft, MBE; diver and gold medallist Jack Laugher; and rowers Andy Triggs Hodge and Paul Bennett who both claimed gold.
There will be a lively parade, with samba bands, brass bands, colourful performers and of course open top buses and vehicles carrying the athletes. Parade celebrations will start at 5.15pm, and we would love to see the people of Yorkshire come out in force to line the city centre route and cheer on these inspiring men and women.
