We took 90 children to Sheffield Arena to the Young Voices concert to sing and what a fantastic time we had. There were thousands of children taking part from schools across the North and Midlands, plus performances from special guest stars Natalie Williams, MC Grammar and Nandi Bushell, the teenage drumming sensation. The children had a long rehearsal in the afternoon and their energy was just fabulous. They have been working hard on a huge repertoire of songs since September. There were dance moves to remember as well as harmonies in some of the songs and the children were just brilliant. The show lasted just under two hours and the children were so enthusiastic. It was clear to see that they all had a wonderful time. A big well done to all involved and a special thank you to Mrs Love, who has led and organised the whole event for Springbank. Thank you to parents who have supported their children with this over the last few months, as well as to staff who gave up their own time to come along with us.
We have had an exciting final week before the half term, with our second intraschool sporting event between the house teams. It is important that children get the opportunity to represent their team throughout the year and engage in some healthy competition. This time we chose benchball for Years 1-6 and a ball game for Reception. It has been a great success! The children participated in 6 matches, giving them the opportunity to play all the other house teams in their year group whilst also spectating and cheering on their classmates. This also gave children a chance to practise sportsmanship, the children are reminded that it is important to win gracefully and congratulate other teams regardless of the result. Well done Springbank, can't wait for the next one! The results will be in soon...
Reception and Year 1 enjoyed their Valentines disco on Wednesday after school and straight after that Year 2 to Year 6 had a good old boogie at their Valentines disco. Great fun was had by everyone!
This week the children of Reception wowed parents and family members with their amazing performance of 'Whoops-a-Daisy Angel'. The children had clearly worked really hard and had great fun performing their songs, dances and lines to the audience. Thank you so much to the parents and family members who were able to join us for the performances and for your help with costumes and practising lines at home. Well done Reception, you were all brilliant!
Year 1 children sung their hearts out during their Year 1 Christmas concert. They had worked hard to learn their dances and actions to all the songs. Well done to all the children for entertaining everybody so brilliantly!
Year 2 children were fantastic in their Christmas concert. They sang beautifully throughout and entertained the audience with their dance moves and actions. Well done Year 2 - you did a great job!
5M's restaurant evening was a huge success! The children had worked hard planning. preparing and making their restaurant meal as part of their DT project. They invited their parents and other family members to come along to sample their creations. There were five restaurants running with pizza, curry, vegetable lasgne, chilli and penne arrabbiata on offer. Thank you to all the families who came along to support the children - we hope you had a great night!
Great to see so many people at the community event, Farsley Lights. Thank you to all the families who came and walked in the parade with our school.
Great to have our Easter Egg competition again this year. We had lots of amazing egg creations that children and their families had obviously spent a long time planning and making. Thank you to everyone who took part, the children in each class had to vote for their favourite two entries which is always a difficult choice when they are all so good! The ideas that children and parents come up with never ceases to amaze me! We obviously have lots of creative children and parents!
