Easter Bonnet Competition
St Oswald's art club have been busy creating Easter bonnets for a HOBBYCRAFT competition. Three bonnets from our school will be on display in our local Hobbycraft store from Friday 4th April.
Please can as many people vote for one of our bonnets so we can win some vouchers for school. Thank you for your support!
Year 1 Explorers Day
Year 1 went on an adventure! They have been learning about different explorers through history and have written their own adventure story.
To end our topic, we dressed up as an explorer and took part in different challenges around school. They have made binoculars, a map, took part in a treasure hunt and tested our their exploring skills in forest school. They have had a brilliant time bringing together all that they have learned throughout our history topic!
Thank you to the parents for you support in helping to make Tuesday a success.
Comic Relief
Today we raised £1401 for comic relief! The children did a marvellous job soaking the teachers with sponges and the teachers were very good sports about it. Well done to everybody involved!
Open the Book
On Thursday year three went to church to learn more about the Easter Story. Volunteers from Open the Book read to them and brought to life the different parts of the Easter Story. The children were really engaged and the volunteers commented on their lovely manners and behaviour.
School Council visit
A wonderful opportunity for pupils of our school to learn and engage in activities regarding what Leeds are doing around the climate and environment.
They met the Leeds children’s mayor, sat in the council chambers and asked lots of important questions.
A fun and interesting day was had!
British Science Week 2025
This week, we have been celebrating British Science Week in school. We took part in the Primary Science Teaching Trust's Inspirational Science Day on Monday. Nursery and Reception children investigated how shadows are made, Y1 and Y2 explored how to make materials waterproof, Y3 and Y4 investigated how the type of surface affects how far an object rolls and Y5 and Y6 created a 'marble maze' with the challenge to make it as long as possible!
Year 4 Herd Farm Trip
On Wednesday Year 4 enjoyed an exciting trip to Herd Farm. The children took part in different activities including Archery, Climbing and Bushcraft. They also had a Moonwalk challenge, where they had to make their way around an obstacle course using only four crates! A firm favourite was the inflatables. Two children were attached to a bungee rope and had to race to attach sticky pads to the opposite end! We were very lucky to have a lovely sunny day and lots of fun was had by all.
World Book Day
We had a fantastic time on Thursday celebrating everything to do with World Book Day! All of the children looked amazing as they dressed up as word. It was wonderful for their vocabulary development as we all tried to work out what the words were. We had fatigued, discombobulated, brave and wicked. We also had a really successful Book Swap, where children had the opportunity to swap preloved books for something new and exciting.
Year 3 and 5 went into forest school to buddy up and read with each other. It was so lovely to see them all out in the sunshine sharing books together, and Reception and Year 1 teamed up to go on a character hunt outside!
We hope all children enjoy their new book and would like to thank both children and parents for supporting World Book Day so rhapsodically (enthusiastically😂).
The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project
We have a new display of umbrellas in the hall week. This is part of our work with the ADHD foundation towards making our school an ADHD friendly school.
Well Done Aspen Class
Aspen class had a lovely afternoon playing in the local park on Wednesday with school made buns and ice lollies. The class had got the highest attendance this summer term and this was a little treat for doing so well!
Good Attendance is so important at school not only just for learning but forming those all important social skills and relationships with peers and adults around them and above all embracing school life to the max! Well done Aspen class. Miss Willis was delighted.
