Choir raises money for charity
Our school choir have been out in Headingley singing Christmas carols. They raised a fantastic £97.10 for the charity organisation ‘Shelter.’ Well done to all the children that took part and thank you to parents for their support. A thank you to Mrs Mills and Becky who organised the event with such enthusiasm.
Anti-Bullying Week
Anti-bullying week (14th – 18th Nov) started with Blue Monday where everybody wore blue to show support for anti-bullying week.
The first activity we did as a school was ‘whispers’. The whole school stood in a circle on the playground and a message was whispered. This was to show the power of words and how words can change when passed from person to person. The activity was a huge success and the message was clear.
Thanks to our Learning Mentor, Becky and our anti-bullying ambassadors for organising the week.
