Ten year 2 childen went to Leeds Trinity University yesterdayto take part in a Cheer Dance event led by Dance Action Zone Leeds (DAZL). Following a warm up the children learnt some cheer dance techniques, covering things like cheer dance arm motions, cheer dance jumps and cheer dance turns. The session ended with the schools learning a short cheer dance routine.

The children have had a fun start to the year in STARS. It's been lovely to see the children again after the Summer holiday and to welcome new starters.

What is going on with the weather!! Another half term has just whizzed by and with it the year! It has been a pleasure to watch the children blossom this year and we will be very sad to say goodbye to Year 2 and our Nursery children who are leaving. We wish them the best of luck.
Thank you so much for all your support through some difficult times and I look forward to the new year and what it will bring. Fingers crossed the weather improves!

It is so lovely to be writing this with the sun shining – it has been a long time coming! We are at the end of another busy half term.
Year 2 have made us really proud with their positive attitude regarding their special work. We have had our spring bounce which was as popular as ever. Thankyou for your kind donations as we really do appreciate them. We have had Phonics and SATS information evenings which I hope you found useful. The children seemed to enjoy our Coronation lunch. We have welcomed two new members of staff; Miss Chalders joins the kitchen team and Miss Harris joins the lunchtime staff.
I hope the sunshine lasts through the half term. We will see you all on Monday 5th June at 8.55am.

Dear Parents/Carers,
Here we are again at the end of another busy half term. I really must be getting old as these half terms really do fly by! It has been an unusual time in school. We very sadly suffered the loss of a collegue and child. I would like to thank you again for your understanding on those two very sad occasions. Staff are incredibly grateful that they were able to say goodbye at the services. You may have noticed that some benches and plants arrived this week. They were kindly donated by the Y3 parents. We also have a bird feeder and a toadstool for EYFS coming which we bought from the money donated by Y2 parents. It has been such a difficult time, but I feel privileged to be part of such a caring community.
We have had a host of things happening in school this half term to enhance learning. We have had Leeds Rhinos coaches doing both dance and ball skills (but not at the same time)! We have had parents' evenings and shared learning sessions and had the first of, I hope, many PTA events! There is an Easter Egg competition this week- lots of amazing entries. The Dogs Trust have been to visit and Y2 managed to get to the coal mine before the snow, which they loved. Y1 are going in the summer term (fingers crossed for good weather). Thank you for your generosity for Comic Relief – we raised £106.81 and with Bags2School. Staff have engaged in training, and we have our Easter visit to church on Thursday.
At the end of this term we say goodbye to Mrs Holliday who has worked in our school kitchen and as a cleaner for over 30 years. We would like to wish her all the best for her new adventure.
Have a lovely break and we will see you on Monday 17th April at 8.55am.

Hi Everyone
Here we are at the end of another busy half term. Reception have just finished their Nativity, so everyone is now in the Christmas spirit! All the performances were great; the children and staff worked very hard, but I am sure you will agree that it was worth it. We also have the discos, Christmas dinner and the visit to the church to fit in before we finish!
This half term KS1 has enjoyed a visit to the theatre while Early Years had a puppet show in school. We have had a number of Open Days for parents/carers looking for a school for next September. Children and staff welcomed our visitors, and they were impressed by what they saw. We have also had the Santa Dash and the Christmas Fair. Thank you again for all your support with fundraising-it is very much appreciated.
Staff have engaged in training with the other schools in the Aireborough Learning Partnership Trust and we have welcomed parents/carers into school to share learning as well as our Parents' Evenings. Governors have also visited.
I hope you all enjoy the break and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 4th January (Tuesday 3rd is a training day). Next term we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary and are looking forward to welcoming old staff and pupils.
Regards
Dawn Lowry
