Year 3 showed the school what we have been doing this year to make our school ‘wilder’. This is important to improve biodiversity, whilst helping children develop a lasting connection with nature and in turn ensure nature is valued and protected into the future. We took part in the RSB birdwatch, did lots of planting, made habitats to encourage creatures into the school grounds, put aside a no mow area, and finally visited Woolley Furs as part of our science learning. The children shared all their achievements with the rest of the school in a special assembly, as well as thanking parent volunteers without whom this would not be possible. We have had a great year learning about bringing nature into our school.

The weather was finally kind to us, and we were able to hold our annual Sports Day. The children took part in a range of activities around the field, accumulating points for their House. Congratulations to Leeds House who had achieved the greatest number of points. The running races, are as always such a joy to watch, and it is lovely to see such sportmanship bewtween the children as they cheer each other on.

Our Bake Off final cakes this year were exceptional, which made it very hard to judge. All four children had clearly thought carefully about their recipes, and the winning cake was a tropical island, with sand and palm trees, which tasted beautifully of pineapple. Congratulations to Sebastian for being our Star Baker this year!
