We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Harrogate to officially open our wonderful new library. Friends from FOSS, Starbeck Residents Association and Starbeck Library joined pupils and our leadership team to celebrate the hugely positive use of the funding that we were extremely grateful to receive. More photos to follow soon.

Year 3 have been learning about the artist LS Lowry and exploring different aspects of his work. The children explored mixing colours that he used in his work and creating light and dark tones. They then explored sketching buildings and matchstick people before beginning their own final piece of artwork in his style. Look out for our final pieces of mixed media Lowry artwork coming very soon!

Year 4 have been learning all about the digestive system in science lessons and how food travels through the body. They loved the hands-on, quite messy experiment!

Election Day 🗳️ Following the assembly theme of Democracy this week, we had our elections for our head pupils today. Our Year 6 children have been busy over the last couple of weeks, working in teams and preparing campaigns and speeches. All six candidates presented their ideas in front of the whole school this morning and really did an amazing job. Following this, all pupils had their chance to vote and results will be revealed on Monday.
Next up will be our school council elections!
