🍔🍔McOak Burgers!🍔🍔

As part of their DT project, Year 6 have had a super day making, cooking and eating beef and turkey burgers with sides of Salsa and Tzatziki! We all agreed they were very tasty and healthy. Georgie said, "I don't normally eat burgers but I am enjoying this as I know what is in it. I might cook them at home."
Well done Year 6 we were very impressed how you all worked together and cooperated with each other to make it a very successful morning - despite the heat!

Year 5 have had a busy start to the half term! I am sure you will agree that they have made some rather marvellous moving toys! First, they used a saw to cut their wood and assemble a frame before creating a mechanism (a cam) to enable the toy to move. They demonstrated excellent teamwork, ambition and certainly a lot of perseverance, well done Maple.

🐛🦋 Reception class were thrilled to receive some caterpillars and have observed their incredible life cycle over the last few weeks. This hands-on learning experience has allowed them to watch as the caterpillars grow, form chrysalides, and finally emerged as beautiful butterflies.

Year 5 had a brilliant day at Wetherby High School. They took part in English, maths, cooking, history and PE to really get a feel for what high school life is like. They really enjoyed getting stuck into lessons and eating the pizza pinwheels!

👖👟🧦Lost Property🧤🧢!!
We have a mountain of lost property in the school office! If your child has lost an item, please come and take a look.
Any items not claimed before half term will be donated to the local clothing bank.
To help combat lost items, please make sure your child’s uniform is clearly labelled with their name.

Our Year 6 students have really enjoyed their Friday Funday after completing 4 days of SATs exams! 🌟

We are so proud of each and every one of you for your hard work, determination and positive attitude throughout the week. You have all shown resilience and maturity, and you truly deserve to celebrate your achievements.

Well done, Year 6 — you’ve been amazing! 👏🎉

We are incredibly proud of Oak Class, who have been absolutely amazing this week, sitting their SATs. They have demonstrated all of our school values, not just this week, but with all of their hard work leading up to SATs. A big thank you to Miss Capstick, Mrs Smith and Miss Baxter who have ensured that their days have got off to a good start this week, with a hearty breakfast at 'Oak Cafe' and some fresh air and exercise. Well done Oak Class! You have smashed it!
