Walk to School Week

Posted on Wednesday 13 May 2015 by Mrs Taylor

 

Walk to School Week will run alongside our themed week where children are encouraged to take a walk in the community on their way to school, maybe even picking up a piece of litter on the way.

Two walk to school competitions will run over the week – firstly, the return of our Where’s Wally challenge (using our walk to school website video) and also a reward for the class who make the most journeys to school on foot during the week.

Each day your child walks to school they should put a counter in their class’ totaliser jar.  Even by parking further away from school your child could then to do the final part of their journey by foot.  By Friday, the class with the most journeys to school on foot will win a martial arts session with John Weatherall, White Rose martial arts.

We hope you will support this initiative in helping children make a healthy start to their day and also helping towards reducing congestion at our gates.

 

Who do you think you are?

Posted on Wednesday 13 May 2015 by Mrs Taylor

Our next whole school themed week, based around identity, diversity and community, will be taking place next week, from Monday 18 May 2015.

A variety of events and visitors are planned to help us deliver this key aspect of education.

Events during the week will include looking at our own identity including belonging and body image, diversity of people around us – this might include race, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender. There will be various visitors to support this. Classes will also be getting out into the community working with local organisations such as our local charity, St Gemma’s Hospice; local care homes; Moortown Community Group; and taking pride in the local community by litter-picking.

Identity day

Following a suggestion from one of our school councillors, Friday 22 May will be a non-uniform identity day. Children are invited to dress in clothing that represents part of their identity, for example uniform from a club they attend; a team they are part of or support; or traditional dress to represent their heritage. We invite a £1 voluntary donation and proceeds will be shared between St Gemma’s Hospice and the Nepal earthquake appeal.

Who do you think we are?

Do you think you’d recognise some of our staff in their early years? This photo competition will run throughout the week with details to follow separately. Again, proceeds will be shared between St Gemma’s Hospice and the Nepal earthquake appeal.

We’ll keep you up to date about events during the week through Twitter and the class news pages on our website. It’s going to be a busy week!

Our website and Twitter continue to keep you up to date with key community events. Upcoming events include the Roundhay Park Fun Run on 20 June and the PTA Summer Fair on 04 July. We hope you can support these.

Great effort from all players

Well done to our netball teams who took part in the North East High 5 netball competition alongside over 20 local schools and had the opportunity to meet players from Yorkshire Jets.

Keeping safe and fit

Posted on Tuesday 21 April 2015 by Mrs Taylor

John, from White Rose Martial Arts, demonstrated in the assembly today some of the skills that can be learnt at the karate after-school club, running again this term.

Pupils who have already attended the club confidently showed their karate techniques alongside some key messages about self-defence from John.

There was a lot of interest from the children so please contact John directly to secure a place for your child. Information can be obtained from the office or your child’s teacher. There is a free taster session on Tuesday 05 May but places are limited.
