Year 4 spent the morning working alongside Mr Bradley from Oxfam, on a project focused around world hunger. The project involves making and decorating kites which we will fly at Wharfe Meadows alongside other Otley schools on Friday 22nd March.
We constructed the kites from scratch, which involved a great deal of team work, as you can see from the photos! After a talk about the reasons behind the project we were able to add detail and inspirational messages to our kites. I was so impressed with the level of perseverance from the class!
It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning and the class can’t wait to take their kites out for a test drive!
Excellent effort and team work today!

Last Thursday, four enthusiastic children competed in a tennis tournament at St Mary’s High School.
Ben, Tigerlily, Iwan and Susie gave 110% effort which resulted in 3rd place, narrowly missing out on the qualifying places. Only 7 points short!
Well done to the four of you for a fantastic team effort!

It was fantastic to formally open the new additions to our playground on Wednesday afternoon. The two new outdoor learning/playing spaces and the new playground markings are already loved by all of us at school.

Many thanks once again to all the PTA members past and present who made these projects possible.

Some of our Year 6s can be found talking about mobile phones in the latest edition of First News. you will need a SamrtPhone or Ipad etc to view their videos and you will need to download the First News + app. It’s quite tricky to use, but there instructions on how to do so on page 4 of this week’s paper.

You can see the finished video by following this YouTube link (make sure you have permission from your parent/carer)

On Thursday, Year 5 enjoyed a ‘Grand Day Out’ at the Keighley Star Centre – which provides a high tech learning environment about space.

During the day, the children visited a cosmodome, explored fun activities at mission control, investigated the phases of the Moon, controlled remote vehicles and worked in role as astronauts.

Many thanks to the staff at the Star Centre and to Mrs Renshaw and Mrs Woods who volunteered to come with us!

Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to provide the amazing outdoor space we now have. A real buzz this playtime!
