Crucial Crew event
Year 6 children enjoyed learning about staying safe at Harrogate College today. There were several infomative workshops:
- Fire safety at home
- The Samaritans
- High voltage electricity
- Staying healthy
- The signs of domestic abuse
- Drug and alcohol awareness
- What to do if you smell gas
Daily Mile Challenge
Children continue to challenge themselves to run 10 laps of the playground as part of their 30 active minutes at school. Children are encouraged to match this with 30 more active minutes at home. Perhaps a game of football or a tennis match.
Superstan!
Our final week of rehearsals are going well. The children know their lines, the choir know the songs, props are in progress and the choreographer has worked really hard on the songs and fight scenes!
Our director, Mr Lindsay, is just putting the finishing touches to the acting. We can’t wait for next weeks performances!
Celebration assembly!
Congratulations to the children whose effort and achievements have stood out this week. It’s been particularly impressive to maintain such focus on their learning in such high temperatures! In addition, we celebrated the Y5, who triumphed in the Brownlee Triathlon hosted by John Smeaton School. Well done everyone!
Year 6 enterprise project
Year 6 have been working hard this week to raise funds for their end of party.
Thank you to parents and children for your support. Pupils had a wonderful time throwing wet sponges at their teachers and poet, Conrad Burdekin.
Conrad Burdekin workshop
Conrad Burdekin, who opened our school library, taught the children a few poems and held a tongue twister competition. Congratulations to Millie for completing this tongue twister in 2.55 seconds.
Year 6 investigation
Children in year 6 have been investigating triangular numbers. Can you find a pattern? What is the rule?
Pupil power
Year 5 and 6 School Councillors have had a fabulous day attending the Youth Voice Summit at the Leeds Civic Hall. The purpose of the day was to learn what a campaign was and how to implement one within school.
During the day, we created a campaign – IF THE SEA CAN’T PROTEST, WE WILL! The campaign was all about using less plastic.
We made our own placards and shared our campaign aims with School Councillors from other schools. We even met the Lord Mayor and learned how the 99 council members of Leeds vote.
It was fun quizzing the Lord Mayor.
I really liked going into the council chambers.
Junior Warrior
Year 6 had a fantastic time getting muddy at Junior Warrior. They helped each other over all the obstacles and we only lost one pair of trainers to the mud swamp.
Living and Learning: I can share and include others.
This week, we’ve focused on sharing and including others. Year 5/6 do this daily. They’re really good at sharing, as you’d expect! Here are some examples from today.
Livy sharing her problem solving knowledge.
Millie sharing her strategy.
Reece, project managing the children while they build the friendship benches. Sharing his knowledge and practical skills.
