Ice Skating
On Wednesday 22 February, eight children were taken to the Ice Cube in Leeds. They’ve been working on a project in school called “Leading the Way”; they have worked over a long period of time with Mrs Wilson and Mrs Taylor and have set up a project with Reception children. They were taken ice skating as a reward for all their hard work; they had a brilliant time, although very wet, and were excellent role models for the school. A lot of time was spent falling over and some very soggy clothes were taken home! No doubt there will be some bruises as evidence of the visit!
Hobby Half Day
On the last day of the half-term, children enjoyed another successful Hobby Half Day with all sorts of activities going on! From i-jamming on iPads to fitness circuits, all of the children had a very busy afternoon. All ages of children were working together and learning from each other and every classroom was a hive of activity. Here are just a few photos to show you what was going on.
Bones are us!

Chickwatch 2012
We now have nine little chicks! Three to go (hopefully). Most of the chicks are now out of the incubator and in the brooder box.

New Residents
Here are the first chicks to hatch in the incubator. There are currently nine chicks that have hatched.
Feel free to come and have a look after school. They’d love to meet you! Be prepared to wash your hands though. We’ve already had a few accidents!
February Family Fun
Throughout half term, Harrogate Theatre are running a Heroes and Villains Activity Week. On the Thursday and Friday, there are activities aimed at 6-8 year olds. Workshops including puppetry and mask-making are on offer with the theme of Heroes and Villains. Tickets can be purchased from Harrogate Box Office.
Our new friends!
Wonderful writing
Look at the complex sentences Y2 children have been writing! A complex sentence has a main ‘part’ (the main clause) and an extra ‘add-in’ part which doesn’t make sense on its own (we call these opener add-ins, but the grammatical term is a subordinate clause).
The eggs have hatched!
As we’re sure most of you are aware, Year 3 and 4 and have inherited some eggs this week. We have twelve eggs and so far five have hatched. They are being kept in a same place.
Chickwatch 2012
We now have five chicks that have hatched!
Two of the older chicks have now moved to the brooder box where they have a bit more space to move around. Fingers crossed, we will have a few more by tomorrow morning!
Eggciting times!
