Bikes, Trikes and Scooters
This week we had a special delivery to Preschool and it made everyone smile from ear to ear!
The Parents and Friends Group (PFG) have been raising money for new playground equipment and Preschool were very lucky to receive eight bikes, trikes and scooters. These are perfectly sized for the youngest members of our school and the children have had so much fun playing and perfecting their physical development skills. Thank you so much to the PFG for the very kind donation!
Sports Day
Congratulations to everyone who took part in sports day this year, whether that was taking part or helping with the organisation. We would like to thank all the families who joined us to give their support and cheer the children on. We loved the atmosphere and were very grateful the sun held out for as much of the day as it did!
Flourishing from the Start
Last week at Flourishing From The Start we attended Forest school. the children had lots of fun and experienced making smores, participating in a mini-beast hunt, pressing flowers and playing in the mud kitchen.
Intergenerational litter pick
On Friday 6th June, 9 members of our school volunteered to 'Keep Guiseley Tidy'. We met up with Cllr Edwards and Cllr Thomson, then ventured to the Leisure Centre to pick up litter. The children did a fantastic job, which saw them collect a lot of rubbish that had been discarded. We are hoping this can be a regular event where parents and grandparents join us for our next litter pick. Dates of our next litter pick to follow.
Leeds Children's Mayor Summit
On Wednesday 4th June a group of Year 5 children attended the Leeds Children’s Mayor Summit at Leeds Civic Hall. This event allowed the children to interact with other Year 5 children from across Leeds who are interested in becoming the next Leeds Children’s Mayor.
The current Leeds Children’s Mayor, Esosa, gave them helpful tips for writing their manifesto and described in detail and with great enthusiasm what the role would involve. We also met the Lord Mayor of Leeds who was able to answer plenty of the questions that the children were eager to ask.
This summit helped to inspire and build confidence in our young people and showed the importance of the influence they can have within Leeds and how to make a positive difference for the young people in the city.
Year 1 trip to Harlow Carr
Year 1 had a brilliant trip on Monday to Harlow Carr. They enjoyed taking part in a workshop learning about the trees in our country. They had to work in a group to identify different trees and take a bark rubbing. They found out that they could work out the age of a tree by measuring the width of a tree and solving a calculation. They also enjoyed bug hunting and identifying what they found. Finally we had some time to play in a play park and enjoy the beautiful plants and wildlife.
Year 1 Art Project
Year one wanted to show off their brilliant art project they did. They were exploring different paper skills to make 3D sculptures. Well Done Year 1!
Year 6 Netball
This week, St Oswald's competed in our first netball event of the year. The Y6 team played with enthusiasm and brilliant skill. All the team are looking forward to two more events in the upcoming weeks.
Year 3 trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Year three had a fantastic day at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Both classes took part in an explore, walk, talk, and make workshop where we learnt about different artists and got the opportunity to sketch and make our own clay sculptures. We also had a great time walking around the park and seeing lots of incredible sculptures. The trip has really brought to life our previous art topic and inspired lots of children to make their own sculptures at home. It was a fantastic day, the children were enthusiastic, polite and were a credit to the school.
