After-school clubs
We’ve had a great start to our summer term after-school clubs with Wake up Shake up Club and Scooter Club taking place tonight.
If your child is coming to Scooter Club, please ensure they bring their scooter and helmet every Monday.
A new city for Ade
As we’ve finished our class novel, ‘The Boy in the Tower‘, we’re creating a display based around it. Ade’s city was destroyed so we’re rebuilding it through art.
Ade used to live in a tower which was surrounded by lots of other towers so we’re designing and sketching our own towers to create a whole new city for him.
Big Pedal
- We’ve had 179 journeys recorded by bike or scooter so far.
- Wednesday 25 April was our highest participation rate with 28% of children taking part.
We’d love to improve these figures for this week.
Netball
Well done to our Year 5/6 netball team who took part in the Leeds North East High 5 netball competition at Allerton Grange today.
There was some great netball skills and teamwork from the children in all their matches. The team were proud to be complimented on their play by one of the umpires.
If you’d like to improve your netball skills, our after-school club starts next Tuesday and there are a few places available.
Great spelling practice
In Year 6, we’ve been working on our ability to spell words when we haven’t had the week to learn them. We had a go at fifteen words each day (with Miss Rushbrooke reminding us about spelling patterns, sounding words out, pointing out trickier parts and all sorts of other hints and tips). Then we spent ten minutes practising any words we’d found difficult or got wrong.
We’ve really enjoyed our spelling practice and have been getting more creative every day, trying to make sure we’re thinking of ways to remember the spelling rather than just write it over and over.
Here’s an example you could use in your practice at home.
Do you need wheels for the Big Pedal?

School dinner consultation
Thank you to all parents and carers who provided feedback on the recent school dinner consultation of meal choices for the September menu.
Catering Leeds, our school meal provider, can offer an alternate jacket potato and sandwich option alongside the meat and vegetarian daily option and we welcomed your feedback on whether this would work for you and your child(ren).
There were a number of parents/carers who were interested to try this option but the majority of responses expressed an interest to keep the options as they currently are. The main feedback was for children to have a hot meal for their school meal rather than a sandwich.
As a result of this, we will continue with the existing daily meat, vegetarian and jacket potato option.
The September menu is currently in the planning stages and we have liaised with Catering Leeds to ensure the menu is tailored to our children’s preferences, while still meeting the national school food criteria. Once finalised, this new menu will be made available to parents/carers at the end of the summer term.
Our current menu can be viewed in the Health section and is displayed around school.
Thank you once again for your feedback on our school meals.
Themed menu
Catering Agency, our school meal provider, will be running a special themed menu on Tuesday 15 May.
Please contact the office, by Friday 04 May, if your child would like a school dinner on this day.
