• World Book Day 2022

  Fri 04 Mar 2022

  This year for World Book Day, Mrs Brannan set the children 2 challenges. 

  1) To dress as a word

  2) The Extreme Reading Challenge

   

  There were lots of imaginative costumes but the winners were Oliver C in reception as 'Heavy', Willow in year 1 as 'Thing 1' and Macie in year 5 as 'Float'.

   

  There were also some fantastic entries to The Extreme Reading Challenge and Mrs Nichols had a hard time narrowing it down to just one winner. Eventually she chose Charlie in 3A who showcased his reading talents upside down - extreme indeed!!

   

  In class, the children took part in lots of wonderful reading activities. From book tasting to recommendations - the children enjoyed all things books today!

  

• TREE-mendous tree planting!

  Thu 03 Mar 2022

  On Thursday 3^rd March we had a tree-mendous opportunity to do some planting across school. This was part of Bradford Council's "Tree for Every Child" project which aims to plant 55,000 trees - the equivalent of one tree per primary school child - over a two year period.

   

  First of all Miss Greenwood's Reception class helped to plant three large cherry trees along the drive. They learnt all about the root systems and had a chance to compare how the bark and soil felt before helping to heave them into position.

   

  Then some children from Y4, 5 and 6 had the chance to plant a variety of young trees (or whips as we found out they are called before growing any sideway branches). They learnt how to safely use a spade and how best to plant the whips before putting hazel, willow, apple and silver birch trees at the top of the field.

   

  Even though it was a rather wet and rainy afternoon, everyone had lots of fun and we look forward to seeing our new trees grow over the coming years.
