Children's Work

On Friday 27th November our children were rewarded for all their hard work by a performance of, ‘The Jungle Book’. The performance was very interactive with children not just watching the actors but learning and joining in with the songs. Some of our children even took on some of the starring roles in the production itself! It really was a great treat for everyone.

 

Class 10

On Wednesday 16th December Class 10 rounded off their science work about plants and food chains

by making pizzas using the herbs they grew in class. All the children took part in making them.

Lots of vegetables to be chopped.
Dough ready for rolling out.

Tomato, cheese and lots of healthy toppings to

choose from. Finally our own fresh basil.

Soon we all had delicious, freshly cooked pizza

to enjoy. Yum, yum!

Culture and Diveristy Week 6th - 10th July 2009

The week beginning 6th July 2009 was our Culture and Diversity week and we took part in a wide range of activities including, learning about and playing Musical instruments from all over the world; discovering Indian and Pakistani culture; Space travel and Asian dancing.

 

We enjoyed printing on cloth and making mehendi patterns.

 

We tasted Kashmiri cuisine.

We played musical intruments from around the world, including African drums and Aboriginal rain sticks and much more. Thank you Mrs Wilson for making our day so interesting.  You told us we had an excellent sense of rhythm and timing and were impressed by the high stadard of our work.

Here we are printing on fabric. Thank you Mrs Rahman for giving us as super day. We learned a lot about how diversity means similarities and differences, and how it a good thing for us all to be different in some ways and similar in others and we are all special!

The astronauts were in Skipton after a recent visit to the International Space Station.  Nearly all of our children walked into Skipton to see the astronaut and space shuttle parade through Skipton town, after meeting the Lord Mayor of Skipton at the town hall.  Our children cheered them on!

It was a privelege to be there and day to remember.

Year six spent the rest of their day with the astronauts learning more about life in space and their work, inspiring our children to become interested in science and maths.
