To finish off our topic ‘From A to B-Transport and Travel’, we all followed instructions on how to build a car. We had lots of fun making them and added our own personalised touches. In the afternoon we tested how well our cars would travel by sending them down ramps. We measured how far they …

    Key Stage One took full advantage of the Easter sunshine and did a superb job looking after their school grounds and the surrounding area.            

Destination Judo is Britain’s largest children’s judo school. On Monday morning they came in to offer Eagles a taster session. As you can see we had great fun.  

As part of our topic work ‘From A to B’ we designed and made our own rockets. We thought carefully about the materials we would need and how we would join the components together. It was great fun launching our rockets. We measured how far they travelled. Lottie’s rocket travelled the further distance of 1.5m. …

As today was World Book Day, our day has been filled with fun reading activities. These have included World Book Day word searches, quizzes and sharing our favourite books. Everyone had made such an effort with their costumes! We also met up with our buddy class, Puffins, and shared a book with them. It was …

Thursday 14th February is our Muddy Puddle Day in KS1.  Please can all children come in their own warm clothes, rather than school uniform. They will be outside for most of the day so they will need gloves and hats too. We are planning to be on the banks so be prepared for all the …

Jay, from Blooming Circus, came to teach KS1 how to do lots of different circus skills. We had a great day and had lots of fun juggling balls, balancing feathers, spinning plates, doing tricks with the flower stick and balancing on an unusual bike. Jay made it look really easy, but he showed us lots …

Today was the day that our two classes met for the first time. We have been paired up as a class and each pupil was given a buddy. We loved meeting them and we split off to learn about each other. We read a book together and talked about our likes and dislikes. Looks like …

We would like to welcome Mr Watters to Eagles and Miss Ingram to Skylarks. They will start their teaching placement on Monday and be with us for most of the spring term.

To start our new topic off we have introduced ‘The Circus’ by watching various clips of circus shows online. We loved watching the children’s reactions to some of the acts. Just look at their faces. We then introduced the children to some of the equipment used in the circus. We used our PE session to …

As part of our exit point for the topic, ‘The Magic Toy Maker’, we followed instructions on how to make our own version of ‘The Cup and Ball’. We had a lot of fun making them but even more fun learning the skill, of getting the ball into the cup.

During our ‘Muddy Puddles’ day we learnt about living things and their habitats. We went outside in groups and designed and made a bug hotel. Whilst we were making them we spotted mini beasts starting to make their way inside. A great success!

A huge congratulations to all who took part in the Key Stage One dress rehearsal of The Little Angels Get Their Wings. The staff couldn’t be prouder of the performances and we’ll certainly be keeping an eye out at Guiseley theatre in years to come. Again… WELL DONE KEY STAGE ONE!

We made our own optical illusion spinning toy. On one side of a circular piece of card we drew a bird, spider, fish, butterfly or a penguin. On the reverse of the card we drew a cage, web, bowl, leaf or snow globe. Next we punched a hole in either side of the card. Then …

As part of our topic ‘The Magic Toymaker’, Mrs Hodgson taught Eagles all about The Nutcracker ballet. She showed the children how they can use their bodies to perform. During the session the children moved like the soldiers, mice, a jack in a box, Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy. They  used musical instruments to …

We had a great day on our trip to Harlow Carr. The sun shone and we had lots of fun exploring the deciduous and evergreen trees. The children were ready for their lunch after the workshop and then enjoyed exploring the grounds.  Eagles even had time to play on the different adventure playgrounds.

Eagles have been looking at examples of work by sculptor and photographer Andy Goldsworthy. We talked about the use of shape and pattern in his work and the materials that have been used to create the land art. The children worked in groups and collected a selection of natural materials from the school grounds (twigs, …

Eagles had a great time on the assault course this morning. They were all up for the challenge and completed the bouncy run. We managed to catch a few in action but the class were so quick. A big thanks to the PTA for organising the event and staying out in the cold all day.

As part of their first topic, Key Stage 1 have been learning about the wonders of the natural world. From tracking hurricane Florence across the Atlantic ocean and learning about different weather symbols to creating a piece of ephemeral of art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy; all classes have really enjoyed getting to know …
