Service with style!

Does anyone recognise these very stylish models who were serving up a storm last week? If these Italian ladies look familiar, it's because they are our very own dinner staff. They needed little encouragement to enter into the international spirit.

Mrs. Hebbron and her team designed a complete week of international cuisine linked to our studies for International Week. Which was your favourite day?

Class 2 loved Italian day. They all agreed the pasta and pizza had been a big hit.

The Neapolitan ice-cream was a fantastic way to finish. We all thought the international menu was a great way to celebrate our international theme.

A big thank you to Mrs.Hebbron, Mrs. Jordan and Pang Holmes for all their efforts.

Happy Campers!

On the 18th of June 2010 Class 3 went camping on the school field. They played some exciting games, we had to use teamwork and communicate with each other.

After the games, we had a yummy dinner cooked for us by Mrs. Masterton and Mr. Deacon. When our dinner had settled we went to explore the woods and played a hiding game. We returned to school to watch the England match (yawn!). After a bedtime story, we went to sleep.

The next day we played a game called shark attack. Our parents came to collect us at 10am.

It was very fun, I would recommend it!

World Cup Limericks

Here are a selection of the World Cup Limericks the children in class 4 wrote for their homework last week. Kallista's was judged to be the winning entry. Read them for yourself and choose your favourite.

We all watched England on TV
And thought Wayne Rooney was the key.

The door was locked

Our fans were shocked

We turned it off and ate our tea!

The future of England was looking so bright

It all went wrong when they got on the flight

We all hope it's not over yet

As long as some balls go in the back of the net

If England don't win it just won't be right.

There is a football team called England

Who think they can win the World Cup

The play so poor and never score

The best thing the can do is pack up!!

There was once a great team called Spain

They left their opponents in shame

They had a great line up

Scored goals until times up

You can't get Spain's glory to tame!!

There once was a man called Capello

Who was really quite an odd fellow

He was in a dream

When he chose his team
"Sub off Heskey!"

You could hear us all bellow.

Class 2 International Week

Our mini World Cup tournament.

Our Italian afternoon.

Brilliant home learning.

Class One's Yorkshire Day at Brimham Rocks

On Monday, Mr Madeley took Class 1 on their first Yorkshire Adventure. We went to Brimham Rocks and had a fantastic time. The children walked and climbed all day whilst carrying their own lunches and no one complained even once! They were very well behaved and learned about how the rocks had been formed and shaped by ice, water and the weather. They also learned about the animals that live near the rocks and how they use camouflage to help them survive.
Some of the climbing was quite tricky. We learned how to climb carefully up and down slopes and watch that we didn't bang our heads when we went through the small gaps.

Thank you to Daisy's dad, who took the photographs for us.

Daisy looked at this picture and wrote: Dad was taking my picture. I had fun.

After lunch we had our photograph taken on a rock that looked like a butterfly.

Look at this fantastic view!

Mr Madeley told us about how to stay safe when we were high up. We were very careful and got to see what it would look like if we were birds flying above the trees.

Class 1 at St. Leonard's Farm Park

I was very proud of how all the children behaved during our visit to St. Leonard's Farm Park and we all had a brilliant time. It was a very busy day, during which the children enjoyed the opportunity to handle and feed the animals, look around the farm and play on the tractors and diggers. They even had time to play in the straw barn and do a bit of shopping. The children have chosen their own pictures for the Blog and written captions to go with them.

Class 4 synagogue visit

Today the whole of Class 4 went to visit the United Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Shadwell Lane. It was so great, they showed us some interesting things including the Torah (holy scrolls) and a kippur (skull cap). They explained what it was like to worsip in a synagogue and in a Jewish home. We had a fantastic day.

Year 3 take on Otley Chevin!

Blog entry written by Gea Francis.

On Thursday the 10th of June, Year 3 went to Otley Chevin. We drove in a mini-but that Mr.Madeley had rented. When we finally arrived we saw a big forest.

We started walking for ages, thinking it was just a forest - we were amazed when we saw two giant rocks. Mr. Madeley let us climb it, it went really high. When we finished Mr. Madeley found a little gap, we all squeezed through, except Mrs. Gregson and Mrs. Reynolds - they didn't think they'd fit!!

Hurriedly, we ran to our rucksacks and made our way to the lunch space. Mr. Madeley told us not to litter. Hungrily, we ate our lunch. After many hours of exercise we returned to school - filthy and with leaves in our hair. What a fun adventure it was!

A Very Mist-erious day out!

Blog entry written by Monet Page.

On Wednesday the 9th of June, Year 4 went to Ilkley Moor as part of their Yorkshire Adventures. It was very misty, so we learnt all about safety outdoors. We also learnt about the Cow and Calf, which are two rocks, one big and one small.

We learnt all about the environment and did a lot of climbing - we got very muddy! Mr. Madeley explained all about the nature that we saw.

We stopped for lunch just by the lake and saw all the ducks. After that we did some more climbing and reached the maze. Some of the rocks were slippy. Afterwards we went to see a roman wall.

Finally we got back into the minibus and drove back to school. It was a long journey back but we all got back muddy, cold but safe! We really enjoyed Ilkley Moor and I hope I can go soon because it was a spectacular day out.

Class 4 On Your Bike!

On Thursday and Friday last week everyone in Year 6 had a chance to participate in a cycling efficiency training course to teach us how to cycle safely on the road.

On Thursday we learnt Level One training exercises at Gateways school, these included: how to get on and off the bike, start off the pedal correctly, stop under control, manoeuvre around obstacles, look around without excessive wobbling and signalling right and left without wobbling.

After we had learnt the basics we went onto the road, we all cycled up to East Keswick on Friday which included some fast down hill roads that we had to follow. When we got to East Keswick we went onto some Level Two training. After that excitement we made our way up to Williams house to have our lunch (this included some very steep hills). After lunch, we carried on with our training before finally making our way back to school.

Class 4 Air Raid Shelters

This term Class 4 are learning about what life was like for people in World War II. We have been interested in what happened during the Blitz and over the half term holiday children were busy recreating Air raid shelters. As usual class 4 have risen to the challenge and created fantastic, detailed shelters. The photos don't really do them justice because many of them are very detailed inside the shelters. You are welcome to pop into class 4 to take a closer look!
