Bike Week
Last week, during Bike Week, over 120 journeys were made to and from school by bike.
All the names of children who cycled to school have now been entered in the Leeds City Council prize draw to be held on Monday 04 July with tickets drawn by the Lord Mayor.
Good luck to all those children.
It’s great to see children continuing to use their bike after bike week has finished as a healthy way to travel to school.

The homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in on Wednesday 6 June.
I know what a question is.
The aim of this homework is to develop the children’s understanding and use of questions.Ask your child some questions, eg ‘What is your favourite colour?’ ‘Who is your best friend? ‘
Read through the sheet with your child. They choose a ‘wh’ question word that makes sense to complete each sentence. Then play the game at the end.
Jabadao
We had a fun PE session today doing Jabadao! Jabadao is a type of dance which uses scarves and ribbons. It can be very lively or very calm. Music is played but the dancer is in control of the movements so it’s varied and unique. Look at these photos; you can see how much fun we had.
