Health Week 2013 got off to a great start this morning with our 'Wake Up Shake Up'. All the children (and staff) joined in brilliantly and everyone had great fun. Wake Up Shake Up will be on every morning during Health Week so please feel free to join us - the more the merrier!

Congratulations to the Springbank tag rugby team for their victorious performance at Monday’s partnership tournament.

The group of boys and girls from Years 5 and 6 went to West Leeds RUFC to take part against some local schools and came away having secured top spot following an exceptional display.

As a result, the children will now go through to a tag rugby final against all the other Leeds competition winners which will be played at John Charles Centre for Sport on Tuesday 21st May.

As usual we are very proud of our young sportspeople who showed great skill alongside an exceptional attitude towards the values of participating in sport.

Some children from Year 4 were recently involved in designing and building a mini habitat for wildlife from recycled materials. They ‘pinched’ an old tea trolley which was found in the cellar and created ‘Happy Meals on Wheels.’ Three habitats were created. The top layer became the nectar bar and bird feeding station, the middle layer is an ‘insect hotel’ and the bottom layer is for damp and shade loving creatures.

 

The children received a Certificate of Commendation from the Gardner’s World Live Show. Well done to all the children who took part as a huge amount of time, effort and commitment was put into the project.

 

A group of Year 5 children worked hard for several weeks planning, designing and planting up a Salad Bowl for the ‘I love my Salad’ competition. All the children involved then went to the Harrogate Flower Show to see it being judged and had a great day out. We gained the top certificate – Premier Gold for our entry and just missed out on the top prize.

 

During the day the children had the opportunity to see beautiful show gardens, build a dry stone wall, help make a pop bottle greenhouse, make herb hanging baskets, watch a cookery demo and shop at the stalls.

Everyone had a super time and the children are to be congratulated for all the hard work they put in and also their excellent behaviour on the day. The Salad Bowl can be seen in the main entrance of the school. Well done Year 5!
 

Here are the Year 5 children with their Premier Gold certificate- Well done!
