Year 2 Visit the Seaside
On Tuesday, Year 2 boarded a coach and travelled over 60 miles towards the East Coast to the seaside town of Whitby. As part of their Autumn Topic, Explorers, Year 2 visited Whitby to explore the coast, beaches and look at the similarities and differences between this town and our home city of Leeds.

Amazing Angles and Vivacious Vikings
This term, 5S are studying Anglo-Saxons and learning about Viking life in Britain. We have been extremely excited to have learned about how these tribes invaded England (Angle-Land) and Yorkshire and how they settled to live in towns and villages – and even Leeds!
Last week in our Golden Enrichment Time, we created a Viking Punch; using historical ingredients to make a “delicious” drink. We grated apples, chopped grapes and squashed blueberries before adding apple juice and a mixed fruit cordial. We then had a Viking biscuit (on Oat Nibble) to soak up all the punch. I think Year 5 were quite surprised (and happy!) that it tasted quite nice – we even had to make some more … just to check the taste of course! Mr. Senior

COVID19 👈
Following current guidance, we do not have year group ‘bubbles’ and children and staff will be able to mix with each other throughout the school day. Bubbles may have to be reintroduced when necessary.
Classes are set up differently to last year and children will go to Key stage assemblies. We will continue to have whole school assemblies virtually for the time being.
We will have staggered break and lunchtimes. This is to ensure that lunchtimes runs smoothly and children have more space on the playground.
