Harvest Festival

Our students enjoyed the services at St Oswalds Church yesterday. These donations will be given to the Leeds North & West food bank Trussell Trust.
Year 5 Healthy Eating Activity
Year 5 had a 'Healthy Eating' sensory experience yesterday. Blueberries, spinach, sugar snap peas and pineapple were on the menu. The incredible sound of the snap and sublime sweet taste makes the name sugar snap peas very fitting. Did you know that blueberries get the name from their skin colour and their flesh is a pale green. Spinach went down well and the children were asking for second helpings! The children said they didn't like some of the foods but after the sensory experience, they changed their mind. Our motto was to try a new food at least 3 times before making a judgement.
Impeccable behaviour and manners from all of Year 5. Well done!
Forest School
This week Aspen class started their forest school rotation. They learned lots of new skills making tools and bows. Well done Aspen.
Picture News Assembly
Mrs Carter led a Picture News assembly based on Guinness World Records. Six of our year 6 students attempted to break three world records: the most skips in one minute, build the tallest Lego tower in one minute and the most star jumps completed in one minute. The participants showed perseverance, resilience and courage in their attempts and the other children cheered them on amazingly! No world records were broken this time - there's always next time!
Year 5 Tudor Workshop
Year 5 last week took part in a drama workshop to introduce them to their history topic of the Tudors. The children really got stuck in and all showed great enthusiasm as they learnt about the people who lived during Tudor times and the key facts about the Tudor monarchs.
Robinwood
Our Year 6 residential to Robinwood was once again a huge success. The children represented St Oswald's in a fantastic way throughout their 3 day trip and showed resilience and respect in abundance, despite the wet and windy weather! The staff who accompanied the children are extremely proud of all the children. Challenges were faced, fears were conquered and memories were made!
We would also like to acknowledge the lovely emails parents have sent this week and thank you all for the positive feedback, it is very much appreciated.
Year 4 and 5 PCSO visit
Students from year 4 and 5 went out with one of our local PCSO's to help monitor the speed of traffic out side of school. They watched as the PCSO spoke to drivers who were driving over 20 miles and hour and helped check the speed cameras to see how fast drivers were driving. Some of the children were even given the opportunity to sit in the police car and test the sirens
PSHE SCARF Workshops

Colour run
Thank you to everyone that help and participated in last Friday's colour run! The children loved the experience and we have lots of discussions about how much fun they had.
