Living Streets local area audit
As part of our partnership with Living Streets and during our Being Healthy week, some of our school councillors joined representatives from Living Streets to carry out an active travel audit in the immediate area. They were looking for barriers that families might face when traveling to school in an active way.
We look forward to hearing all about the findings.
Youth Voice Summit
Recently, our Year 5 and 6 school councillors attended the third annual youth voice summit for primary schools in the banqueting suite at Leeds Civic Hall. During the event, the children:
- Learnt how to run effective social action campaigns in their schools and communities
- Learnt about influential historical and current campaigns such as the suffragettes and American civil rights
- Learnt about how to write to the government and local council
- Had the opportunity to come up with their own campaigns and create placards
- Had a full tour of the Leeds Council Chamber
Their chosen campaign, to work on back at school with the rest of the school council, is all about clearing up litter. We look forward to seeing how this campaign will develop.

Transition afternoon
This week, Year 5 became Year 6 in their transition afternoon with Miss Rushbrooke.
They had a circle time allowing them to share any things they’re looking forward to or anything they are worried about and then had the opportunity to ask lots of questions.
They then worked on being a team by completing some interesting challenges. Turns out you can create a ‘human chair’ whether you’re working with people you get on with or with people you don’t usually spend your time with.
Then, we were challenged to create the tallest tower of cups without actually touching them. This required good communication skills and a lot of resilience. 
Finally, we chose some class prizes for next year and it was really good to be able to choose them ourselves.
Countdown to Year 6 begins.

Old Leos cricket club, based locally in Alwoodley, were one of the visitors we welcomed to our health fair this week.
