Year 1 Games Extravaganza

Thu 26 Jan 2017

All our Year 1 children went to Farsley Celtic this week to compete in a Year 1 Games Extravaganza against other local schools. In small teams the children competed to gain points for our school. They took part in relay races, balancing bean bags on a bat, passing a hula hoop under and over between the team members as well as other team activities. All the activities were designed to develop fundamental sports skills such as running, throwing and working together as a team. The children had a great time and were good sports; apparently our school was the loudest at cheering for each other! Well done to Farfield who won the event but we are very proud of all our Year 1’s who represented the school so well.

Year 3 took part in a one-off football match at Calverley Parkside last week and enjoyed a competitive contest. Taking on Parkside Year 3s saw a hard-fought game with both sides going at it full throttle but showing great sportsmanship at all times. Goals from Stanley Woods and Logan McKenna contributed to a 2-2 draw. We look forward to securing some more fixtures in the future once the weather improves.

Artist working in school with Year 5

Fri 13 Jan 2017

The children of Year 5 were given a fantastic opportunity this week to work with a local artist on creating animal sculptures. The children were able to refine their clay sculpting techniques through working with the artist. The children then created, not just one, but two amazing clay sculptures. They worked really hard on these and enjoyed their day with the artist immensely. They are looking forward to being able to share their creations at their exhibition at the end of this half term.

On Thursday 12th January, a group of extremely dedicated, passionate and talented singers attended the incredible 'Young Voices' concert at Sheffield arena. They performed as part of one of the largest student choirs in the country, singing alongside over 5000 other students. These children have worked tirelessly to perfect all the songs and actions. Their efforts most certainly paid off and resulted in an incredible show. All the children represented our school brilliantly. They did themselves and Farsley Springbank proud. What a lovely experience. Thank you so much to all who took part. See you next year!
