Year 5 Cup Win!
Last week, our Year 5 boys team started their cup run with an emphatic 9-1 victory. They played fantastically showing excellent level of skills and huge levels of perseverance. They won with modesty, with a couple of children congratulating the other team when they scored their goal - a wonderful display of sportsmanship. Up next for the St Oswald's sports teams, Year 6 boys football, also playing their first round in the cup!
A huge thanks goes out to PC Sports for providing our school with our wonderful new kit!
Morrisons Tour
On Wednesday, Holly class went on a tour of Morrisons to learn about where our food comes from. This was led by Morrisons Community Champion, Sharron. The children visited all the different areas of Market Street including the fishmongers, the bakery and the cheesemonger. Sharron very kindly donated a basket of fruit to take back to school and we had a fun afternoon tasting different fruit from South Africa, Peru and Spain! All the children represented our school brilliantly. Rowan class are looking forward to going on Monday!
Rotary Club's Young Artist Competition
A big thank you to all of our artists who entered the Rotary Club's Young Artist Competition this month. Judging has taken place this week and members of our local club reported how impressed they were with your creations and that judging was particularly difficult.
Here is a wonderful water creation example from Evie in Year 1. Well done to all those who entered from St Oswald's, the certificates and outcome of the competition will be shared by the end of next week. Good luck!
Disgusting Sandwiches
Year 2 made their own disgusting sandwiches in forest school! We were inspired by the story 'The Disgusting Sandwich' and in English we are writing instructions on how to make our own disgusting sandwich.
Year Five Trip to the Theatre
Year Five had a wonderful trip visiting Alhambra Theatre to watch Pinocchio, the children behaved very well and had a lovely time.
Speed Awareness
This week PCO Megan came into school to teach the children in Aspen Class about speed awareness. The children stood outside our school checking the speedometer as cars drove by to see whether they were within the speed limit. Those who were received a thumbs up by the children and those who were over the limit received a thumbs down!
The children enjoyed this activity and had fun whilst learning about the importance of staying within the speed limit.
Grand Theatre Workshop
Year 2 took part in an imaginary settings session around the story 'A Christmas Carol'. The children were immersed into settings from the tale using practical, drama-based techniques. They all had a lot of fun and the children showed fantastic imagination and super acting skills to bring each setting to life!
Y2 Great Fire Of London Day
Year 2 had a fantastic Great Fire of London day on Thursday! Our special visitor, Sir William Petty, told us all about the Great Fire. We looked at an old map of London, took part in an experiment to see how the fire spread and successfully managed to work together as a class to put the fire out! Miss Roach and Miss Fowler were so impressed as all the children showed enthusiasm and wonder for their learning!
Elf Walk 2024
Every year, in November or December, we hold a fund-raising Elf Run to raise awareness of those who are without a permanent home and to raise money for 'Simon on the Streets', a charity which supports the homeless. This year's Elf Run was held on Thursday 28th November and Y3-Y6 walked to Yeadon and back to School through Nunroyd Park. Nursery - Y2 also participated, however, they completed their distance within the school grounds.
All the children behaved excellently and had fun participating in this event for such an amazing cause.
With your support and generous donations, we managed to raise £460 so far.
Children In Need
Last Friday saw the whole school participating in Children in Need activities. Children came dressed in yellow, spotty clothes and at the end of the day, a Collective Worship celebrated our differences and talents by inviting members of staff to take part in various challenges. Miss Harris proved herself a pillar strength as she won both the ‘longest single leg stand’ and the ‘wall squats’ competition. There was blindfolded drawing and timing a minute. The staff and children thoroughly enjoyed taking part and thanks goes to Mrs Coates and the School Council for the organisation.
We managed to raise £622.50 for Children in Need, thanks to your kind donations!
