Reception, Form 1 and 2 had a great trip to Harlow Carr gardens last week. Reception had a colour hunt in the grounds to try and find as many natural colours as they could. They were challenged to find enough colours to make a rainbow! With the

different colours that they collect-ed they made beautiful, colourful pictures. They loved exploring the grounds and all the storybook char-acters hidden in the gardens. They saw the BFG and the scary troll under the bridge!

Forms 1 and 2 were continuing to learn about the senses and were

asked to collect flowers and sprigs from plants to make our own

perfume.

Our Sports Day is on Friday 26th May.

Races will commence at 1.00 pm All families welcome please bring picnics and chairs for a sunny afternoon!!

Please do not send bags, blazers or caps with the children on this day and send them in their

PE kit and track suits.

Pre School children who do not normally attend on Friday afternoon and would like to take part please bring them to the pre school playground at 1.45 pm dressed in shorts and tee shirts

and trainers and their own water bottle.

Congratulations to all the children who took part in the Wharfedale Festival last week, we did extremely well and Mrs Hughes our drama teacher was delighted with all the entrants.

Georgie H came 1st in the Year 2 class, Isla H came 2nd in the Year 3 class and Phoebe R came 1st in the Year 4 class with Jemima M 2nd and William M 3rd. Such great results from all the children.

George C in Form 4 has lost his school hat please return this to the school office if found.

Topics/Themes

Little Adventurers are continuing to look at mini beasts with a focus on

looking at the life cycle of a butterfly. We will also be practising our races,

ready for sports day.

Great Explorers are continuing with our Travel and Transport theme and this week will be looking at postcards and what they are used for. We will

try writing a postcard and send it home: we are hoping to walk into

Burley and visit the Post office too ! Great Explorers also have Forest

School on Thursday morning.

Reception enjoyed their day at Harlow Carr. They were very well behaved

and interested in the whole day. They also have a Forest Schools workshop

on Thursday this week.

Sports Day We will be practising for Sports Day over the next week and it would be useful if the children had a pair of trainers to keep at school until the end of term. We look forward to

seeing you all on Friday afternoon and let’s hope the sun shines !!

favourite mini-beast to show and talk about.

The Great Explorers walked up to the tarn on Ilkley Moor to look at the tadpoles.

We also walked down to Burley Beach. The children spotted lots of letters that we have been learning!

Little Adventurers have enjoyed exploring the garden, using microscopes to investigate the creatures and their habitats. They also created some amazing pictures using natural objects.

Reception had a lovely trip to Harlow Carr Gardens
