Water, water, everywhere!

Class 3 were lucky enough to work with students from Boston Spa today as part of our art project for the Wharfe Valley Learning Partnership. The sixth formers shared with us some of their favourite artists, as well as their own art work. The class then used the images as inspiration for their own water themed  paintings. It was a great opportunity to paint with acrylics on canvas. Look out for details of the upcoming exhibition!

Our Fantastic New Sign Revealed


Here it is - our fabulous new sign held by its creators. 

Last year, KS2 were lucky enough to work with Sam the Potter to create tiles inspired by the Burmantoft tiles found in Leeds. The tiles were fired and glazed in the colours that would have been used in the original pieces. 

Some of our finished tiles were selected to spell out our school name. Our very talented friend John kindly put them together and created our very professional looking sign. Look out for it next time you visit us!

Harvest Apple Crumble ~ Class 2

 
 
When we came back to school after the long summer holiday we noticed that the apple tree in the school garden was fully laden with fruit ready for picking. Class 2 decided to collect some apples and to bake some apple crumbles.
 

First we peeled the apples which was quite a tricky job.

 
 
 

Luckily Mrs Reynolds was there ready to lend a hand.
 
 
 
Then we started to mix the flour and sugar together .......
 
 
 
 
and rub in the butter to make the crumble topping.
 
  
 We sprinkled the crumble on top of the apple mixture and they were ready for the oven.
 
 
Everyone had an apple crumble to take home for their tea.
 
 
 
 
Now you have the difficult decision ice-cream or custard?
We hope you enjoyed eating our apple crumbles!
