Queen's 90th Birthday Celebrations.

Our school choir joined with 14 other schools to celebrate the Queen's 90th Birthday. Parents and grandparents joined the choir on the Piazza to sing a variety of songs for the memorable event. The mayor and mayoress joined in the singing led by Tom Meredith from Kirklees Music school. Everyone has a great time.

Children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in the Strictly Pennine Dance Festival. They learnt their dance routine during the after school 'Bodyrockers' session and performed it on stage at the Lawrence Batley theatre in front of a huge crowd of pround parents, carers and teachers. The children did a fantastic job, remembered their routine and were extremely brave and mature. Their behaviour back stage was also impeccable. Well done to all those children who took part.

Thankyou to everyone who supported our MacMillan/Forget me not coffee afternoon. The cakes and buns looked amazing. A fantastic £277.60 was raised. This will be split and half sent to each of the worth causes

Our latest theme days were on Thursday 2^nd and Friday 3^rd  July 15. The children all created their own passport before entering Marsden International Airport  in order to  catch their flight with’ Woolly Wings’ .  Everyone took part in the in flight safety checks led by a ‘real air hostess’!!. All staff became cabin crew led by Captain Swallow. Children spent the two days finding out about 6 different countries. They travelled to Greece, Spain, Italy, Caribbean, Russia and the USA. Children tasted traditional foods, played well know games, examined famous landmarks and worked in the styles of artists from each country. Thanks to Kirklees catering staff lunch was also served on airline trays to add to the experience.

Nursery also took their passports and boarded a flight as they thought about holidays. They enjoyed a beach party and ice cream from the ice cream van.

Everyone has so much they didn’t realise just how much they were learning.

World Book Day was on Thursday 6th March 2014. To celebrate the day, lots of children dressed up as book characters. In KS1, each of the four classes contributed to writing a story. Class H wrote the beginning, Class C wrote the next part, followed by Class D and then Class R wrote the conclusion to the story. Please see the link below to read the story. Well done to all the children. They did a fantastic job! 

In Foundation Stage, all the children worked on the story 'Dear Zoo'. They did drama, speaking and listening and activites and retellings of the story. The children have really enjoyed the story.
