Yesterday, the whole of Year 6 went to Eden Camp on our first school trip of the year. All the children had an amazing time finding out about what life was like during the war and the many different aspects of WWII.

On Wednesday this week we went to the hall with our Reception buddies to see the boxes they had prepared for their exhibition. We loved seeing what they had filled them with and looking at how they had been decorated. All the children and parents had a lovely time and it was great to spend time together with RS!

Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Vicky from the Leeds United Foundation. She delivered a very important session covering important themes such as peer pressure, criminal responsibility, gangs and knife crime. The children enjoyed the session and learnt some important lessons which may help them with their decision making in the future.

As part of our art work this half term, we will be creating a piece of artwork using lino printing. The children made their designs last week which are inside by our local woodland environments. This afternoon they began cutting their designs into the lino. Don’t worry – we didn’t have too many accidents!

Today we had a great library session provided by Ms Whiteley. The children had to work their way around the library, interacting with and discussing various different poems that were dotted around the area. They worked together brilliantly and enjoyed themselves!

Our blog is back up and running in Year 6!

We have had a great start to the year and have been very busy doing all sorts of things!

On Wednesday we went on a local trip to the Seven Arches Aqueduct on the Meanwood Valley trail. Luckily, the weather was lovely and we were able to walk down to the woodland and learn lots about the nature present in the area, as well as the history of the aqueduct.

We also really enjoyed improving our map reading skills this week by learning about 6-figure grid references. Great fun!
