Our sports leaders had an amazing day at the Cricket World Cup at Headingley today. Lots of 4s and 6s to cheer on as Australia played Bangladesh and then India played the Netherlands. Both matches were exciting and the children were a pleasure to be with. What a fantastic reward for our amazing sports leaders!

Our KS1 classes visited The Sealife Centre in Scarborough yesterday. The children were all beautifully behaved and had a fantastic day looking at all of the amazing sea creatures. A very big thank you to everybody who helped on the day.

Well done to everyone who went to Middlesbrough for the Y5/6 athletics. They sprinted, threw and jumped brilliantly on a fantastic, full-size athletics track. Well done to two of our pupils, who won medals for top three finishes.

Class 4/3B had a fantastic day at Yorkshire Museum. What an exciting way to learn more about the history topics we’ve previously studied.

Class 4/3A are enjoying tennis this half term. Getting Wimbledon ready!

Huge congratulations to our girls' football team, who have finished 4th in the whole of North Yorkshire after a tournament at Queen Ethelburga's School. What an amazing achievement!

Yesterday, we had a fantastic afternoon at the Brownlee Triathlon. 47 children from Y5 and 6 took part and got to cycle, swim and run in Harrogate. What a wonderful end to an action-packed week. All the children were superstars, as always.

This week Class 5/4 completed a 3D art topic. The Year 4s learnt about relief sculptures and used natural materials to create texture. They added paint to make their sculptures look metallic. The Year 5s learnt about armatures - a frame used for sculpting. They used plastic bowls and pots to create a 3D paper mache bowl.

What an amazing experience our Y6s had on their residential at PGL Dearne Valley this week. They challenged themselves and tried everything, all with huge smiles on their faces. All the teachers agreed they were a credit to the school and wonderful company.
