Thank you!
I can’t believe it’s the last day of school!
Even though the school year has been a bit of a crazy one, this video highlights what a fantastic year you’ve all had!
I just want to say that I am so proud of all of you and how you’ve persevered with all of your learning both in school and at home.
Thank you to all the F2 children for being such an amazing class! I sure will miss you next year.
I will make sure I pop my head into your new classroom to see how you’re all getting on.
On the other hand, I am excited to welcome back our F1 children and continue their learning journey in Reception.
Have the best summer Foundation!

Animal Day
We had great fun today raising money for charity by dressing up as animals.
We made masks (and tails) and revised our knowledge about different animal groups.
Times Tables Rockstar Champions
Well done to all of you for completing a week of home learning. We hope you’ve had a productive week and managed to get into your gardens for some fresh air and exercise.
An extra well done to those children who have been practising their times tables on Times Tables Rockstars. The following children are our Times Tables Rockstar champions!
Health week
We’ve had a happy and healthy week doing lots of fun activities.
Personal Challenges
On Monday, Thursday, and Friday we had a go at 3 challenges: speed bounce, standing long jump, and a stork balance. The children recorded their scores on their personal challenge cards to see if they managed to beat their previous scores.
Sports day
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Dance workshop
On Tuesday, a lady from Wetherby Arts Festival came to teach Foundation some contemporary dance moves. Throughout the session, we used our imaginations to create different moves.
At the end of the workshop, we used all the skills we had learnt to create our own simple routines.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend in the sunshine.
Home learning
We are half way through our self-isolating and I know that some of you have been working really hard. Many people have been doing the on-line lessons as well as the zoom lessons with me. If you have difficulty getting onto the zooms, you can ring school and ask for some paper copies to keep you going.
In fluency, we used our vocabulary from the text to put into our own sentences. (Even Mrs Rowley joined in!) Here are a few of them:
Edward: Looking sterner than an angry tiger, the lady yelled at the poor boy.
Caleb: I felt awkward when I addressed the queen.
Ellie: She looked sterner than my new cat with only one bit of dried food.
Mrs Rowley: Mrs Welsby is much sterner than Mrs Rowley!
Siana: I fell over so sharply that I almost didn’t recover. My mum was sterner than ever because I’d ruined my new jeans.
Willow: Boris Johnson addressed us with the awkward news about Covid.
Emilija: My mum was really stern when my rabbit chewed through the TV wires.
We’ve been learning about fractions in Maths and Ellie has sent in a healthy lifestyle poster to remind us to keep up our daily exercise. Some of the class are completing regular 5 minute workouts with Joe Wicks and others have been running their daily mile round their garden.
Don’t forget to email in pictures of your fabulous work! It keeps Mrs Rowley, Mrs Walton and me smiling through self-isolation!
Home learning:
Hello Year 3 and 4. Well done to all of you that managed to log into the live zoom lessons and to all of you that have been working hard at home. Every time you are on live lessons with me, I will add a dojo – some people have earned 3 today!
We looked at number stories linked to the 4x table. Here are two that Ellie sent in:
There were 7 cages and 4 cats went into each cage. How many cats were there altogether? 7 x 4 = 28. There were 28 cats altogether.
There were 7 pans. There were 4 pancakes in each pan. How many pancakes were there altogether? 7 x 4 = 28. There were 28 pancakes altogether.
In reading fluency, we looked at this week’s key vocabulary and had a go at using the words in our own sentences. I thought we’d share them, just like we usually do in school.
Jack: I recovered after a sharp turn.
Ellie: I recovered from stepping on something sharp.
Siana: I skidded very sharply and fell over, but soon I recovered.
Don’t forget to join us in the morning and to share your hard work with us!
Junior Warrior
Year 6 had a great time at Bramham Park completing the Junior Warrior challenge. It was an afternoon of fun, resilience, physical endurance and lots and lots of mud!!
Well done everyone!
