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 events
Old Leos cricket club, based locally in Alwoodley, were one of the visitors we welcomed to our health fair this week.
If you didn’t get to speak to them on the day, here is some information about their fun cricket sessions as well as an event this weekend.
Dodgeball runners up
Our Year 5 dodgeball team have come 2nd place today in the Leeds dodgeball competition run by PE Partner.
Congratulations to all the team – great determination and team work.
Thank you to Mrs Bald for accompanying the team and to parents for transporting the children to the event.
Brownlee Centre
Earlier this week, a group of upper Key Stage 2 children had the opportunity to attend the schools Tour de Yorkshire celebration event at the Brownlee Centre.
The structured coaching session involved different cycling skills activities and was a great chance for the pupils to test out the cycle circuit.
As a result of the positive feedback from the children, we hope to participate in future events at the circuit.
The next pop-up ride at the centre is this weekend, Sunday 08 July 12:00pm – register to take part using the Let’s Ride website.
Sports day 2018
Yesterday, the whole school enjoyed a sun soaked sports day at Roundhegians. Well done to all the children who took part and demonstrated School Games values of passion, self-belief, respect, honesty, teamwork and determination. We believe that sports day is an ideal context for children to explore these values. For example, learning how to handle success and defeat, believing in their abilities, respecting others and working with others to achieve success.
Special thanks go to:
- Roundhegians for providing excellent facilities and hosting our sports day
- Excellent sports leaders from Allerton Grange who ran the field events for Key Stage 2 and supported the younger children with their races in the afternoon
- PTA for providing refreshments for spectators
- parents who supplied and assembled gazebos to keep the children in shade at the event
- Year 5 sports leaders and Year 2 helpers too
- All staff who helped out on the day
