Healthy Week
In Year 4 and throughout the school thsi week we have been thinking about the health benefits of skipping. We have been improving each day and although the girls in Year 4 seem to be the better skippers, us boys are slowly closing the gap! Many of us are now able to complete more than 100 skips per minute!
Skipping is so much fun!
Have a look at some real experts:

Alcuin School Chess Tournament
Today I had the pleasure of accompanying some of our chess club players to a tournament held at The Alcuin School. It was a really well-organised and friendly tournamnent and great for our children to try their hand at competetive chess. I was so proud of all the children. The ‘A’ Team scored 3.5 points overall and the ‘B’ Team scored 2.5 points. Both teams were commended by the organiser for performing so well at their first chess tournament.
Well done: Zac, Harry, Jay, Samuel, Ruth, William, James and Patrick!

Nell Bank
Yesterday, Year 5 children enjoyed a super day at the Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre near Ilkley. Under unbroken blue skies we found different habitats, hunted for minibeasts, pond dipped, orienteered and even negotiated an assault course!
Watch a slideshow of the fun below:
Many thanks to Neil Griffen and Mrs Farnaby for your help!
“Giant” minibeasts visit the Reception Class!
On Wednesday Rob Senior form Bradford College came into school. Around the edge of the carpet were tanks with something in them but we didn’t know what.
It was very exciting as we pulled off the cloths from over the tanks. What was going to be inside?
In the first one there was a rat. I was amazed how many of the children were happy to hold ratty.
Even Mr Robertson was brave enough to have a cuddle with Ratty!
We then looked at.........
A giant snail
A tarantula. We weren't aloud to hold that one!
Some Stick Insects
Christopher was very interested in these and had a careful look at one of them as it sat on his hand.
Year 1 and 2 Green Day
In the Year 2 classroom after writing footprint promises, Year 1 and 2 worked together to put old plastic carrier bags to good use to create very decorative weavings. The task was quite fiddly so well done to everyone for persevering - and to Mrs Raybould, Mrs Eveleigh and Mrs Robinson for all their help.

Year 2 Wacky Walk
Better late than never! A couple of technical hitches held up these photos, but well done to all the knights, pirates, princesses and animals that walked to raise funds for PTA.
Setting off on the walk or run!
Finished at last!
PE using the large Apparatus
The Reception children were very excited when they went into the hall to get out the large apparatus for the first time. here are some of the photographs of the children using the apparatus very carefully.
