Skipping challenges
If you are interested in trying another physical activity challenge, Jodi from Skipping School – a regular visitor to school, is running a daily skipping skill challenge this week. Sadly, Year 2 and Year 4 have missed out on their skipping festivals this year so these videos will help the children to recap the skills they have learnt at school.

The Roundhay Adder!
Will has been hard at work with a very creative art project!
Will has come up with an idea that is sure to bring a sense of community and togetherness, whilst also sharing his own art skills and encouraging others to share theirs, too!

It currently stands at over 50 rocks!
Keep up the good work, Will!
