Blakehill Primary School

HUGE well done to the children representing Blakehill this evening at the Year 3 Golf Competition.
Blakehill finished 1st out of 8 schools. 🥇🏆
Everyone connected to Blakehill are super proud of more sporting success & all the hard work the children put in during PE lessons & after school clubs. Mr Lumb & Mr Brigg are super proud.

So proud of this young man who catapulted his way to 1st place at the Yorkshire trampolining tournament today. You superstar Jake!

This week 1M worked scientifically to sort everyday objects. The children sorted different items into material groups and discussed what was the same and different about them. They then investigated which materials sink or float. They made their predictions and then watched to see the results.

Reception love the cold weather! It is so exciting!

After the whole school assembly, Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their workshop with Punjabi Roots learning about the Punjabi drum. They followed this up with PHSE lessons about the benefits of living in such a diverse city.

The cold weather did not stop our cross country runners this evening working hard during after school club.
It’s fantastic to see so many children dedicated & so passionate.

Proud to be Blakehill

Christmas has started early in Reception. We can never have enough, sparkle, glitter and excitement!
