Children and Young People’s Plan

The ambition of Leeds City Council is for Leeds to be a child-friendly city.  A child-friendly version of the city’s Children and Young People’s Plan has recently been launched; it was designed in consultation with pupils from primary and secondary schools across Leeds.  As well as being a fun activity sheet, it is also a good way to share the city-wide vision directly with children and to raise their awareness of what Leeds City Council are doing to make Leeds the best city for children to live and grow up in.

The plan was recently reviewed by our School Council.

If you would like a printed copy of the plan, please ask at the office.

Children and young people are the future of our city, which is why we put them at the very heart of the growth strategy.  We want Leeds to be a compassionate city with a strong economy, and it is really important that all our children and young people are supported to achieve their full potentials.  The city-wide partnership approach in promoting and achieving the aims of the Leeds Children and Young People’s Plan is key to this.

Netball after-school club

Thursday night’s netball after-school club is open to Years 4, 5 and 6 (boys and girls).  We have some places available if your child would like to come along and learn skills to play high 5 netball.

This is a free club, subsidised by our PE premium, and runs until Easter.

Today’s menu

Have you seen our new menu board on display in the dining room?  This is updated daily to show the school dinner menu including the main course, vegetarian main and jacket potato option.  If your child has their school dinner in the main hall they are encouraged to have a look at the board at the start of the day, playtime or at lunchtime.

You’re also welcome to have a look with your child/children.

The full weekly menu is still available, displayed on the dining room window and in our school meals section.

The Summer term menu has also been published with details of any new dishes.  How to encourage others to try new dishes was recently discussed by our School Council.  Suggestions included:

• Tell your friends if you have tried one of the new meals.
• Have a taster of a new meal.

In response to this, children can request a small taster of a new meal alongside their lunch.  New dishes will be highlighted on the menu board.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due on Wednesday 09 March.

I can suggest ways of becoming or remaining calm.

As part of our ‘Getting On’ SEAL theme, we’ll look at different ways to keep calm in a range of situations. Discuss how we feel in difficult situations and note down some things you can do to become calm again.

04 March 2016

This week’s spellings all require ‘ed’ to be added for past tense and are words that we often make mistakes with in class (for example, by missing the ‘e’).

These must be practised in your red spelling book ready to be tested on Friday 11 March.

World Book Day maths

After we’d finished our blurbs (which were brilliant!), we revised some statistics learning using pie charts about books.

Ask your child how they calculated the answers.

World Book Day

Today, we did a book-based scavenger hunt. The children were given certain things to find in books such as a frog, a tree or a happy ending.  It was really good fun and showed us how fantastic and varied books are. We discovered that many of the things to find could be found in both fact and fiction books!
