What a fantastic night we had at the Leeds Young Film Makers Golden Owls Awards at Leeds Town Hall. Everyone arrived looking extremely smart and enjoyed spending time with the variety of characters, including Storm Troopers, who were waiting to meet everybody at this red carpet event.
A group of eight children from across all KS2 classes had worked with Mr Bradshaw to produce a film called 'Trapped' which is a fictional story about a girl who spend too much time on her phone so ends up trapped inside the internet. Our film was shortlisted in the KS2/KS3 fiction category and I'm delighted to announce that we won! The children were thrilled as they went up onto the stage to receive their award. A big congratulations to our Golden Owls team who worked really hard to produce a great film.
On Friday 23rd March, we had fun raising money for Sport Relief. School Council had asked the children to come dressed in wacky clothes- we have some fantastic creations. All the children took part in a 'Wake up, Shake up' sessions and ran a mile at the end of break time. Thank you for your donations; together we raised £315.62 which will all go to support this great cause.
Year 5 enjoyed three days on residential at Herd Farm this week. They took part in a variety of outdoor activities- an assault course, mountain biking, mountain boarding and bushcraft. They had a go at the high ropes, which was a real challenge and took courage but they impressed us with their efforts. Many of the activities encourage teamwork and the children were amazing at communicating and supporting each other throughout. In the evening they enjoyed chilling out together, playing games, reading and colouring. On the second night each class held a talent contest which was great fun. All in all, it was a fantastic few days for each class creating memories that we hope will last a lifetime!
