She’koyokh concert

On Monday, all pupils in school were invited to enjoy music from the band She’koykh.  She’koyokh play  traditional music from the Balkans and beyond. The children listened to the different songs and even got to learn about the instruments that were played in the concert. D said that ‘The music sounded lovely. I sang with them. We even got to dance!’

Animal magic 

Year 1 were incredibly lucky to have exotic creatures visit them. The children were visited by Eddie the  corn snake, a tortoise and a bearded dragon. The children learnt about the animals and how they are looked after. K said ‘The tortoise was bumpy and the bearded dragon was spiky. I liked meeting the animals.’

Careers fair 

Children in Key Stage 2 had the opportunity to go to our Careers fair on Thursday. Mrs Brackenbury arranged for guests from Leeds Universtiy, the NHS, Northern Ballet, Ordnance Survey and Reed consultancy to speak with the children about their careers. The children asked each person about their job, what qualifications they needed to have the job and how they could do that person’s job. J said ‘All of the people we met use different skills from the skills builder curriculum.’
