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
Year 6 trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Year 6 had a wonderful time at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The children enjoyed seeing the animals and learning about their habitats. The children's behaviour was brilliant, and they represented St Oswald's wonderfully. It was an excellent way to finish a superb year that the children in year 6 have had.
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 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.
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!
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!
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.
