Climate Ambassadors
So proud of our Climate Ambassadors today. They have worked really hard to design and make their own Climate Hope Patch. These will be taken, with them, next Thursday to the Climate Conference where staff there will sew them all together to make one giant Climate Hope banner.
Today, we have decided that every child in school will also get this opportunity so we have our own Climate Hope Banner to display in school. We can’t wait to
show you!
Special thank you to Susan Scott and Carol Davies for coming in and helping the children today. We couldn’t have done it without you

Y3 The Sheffield Cathedral and Synagogue
On Tuesday, Year 3 went on a fascinating RE trip to Sheffield Cathedral, and Sheffield Synagogue. We looked for both similarities and differences in the buildings, special objects, and the way people worship there. A few lucky children got to try out some of the special clothes the priests wear during services, and we made pilgrim tokens out of clay!

Y4 Abbey House Museum
Year 4 had a fantastic time on their history trip to Leeds Abbey House Museum, where they took part in a Victorian murder mystery as part of our topic, 'How Have Children's Lives Changed?'. The children worked in small groups to solve the crime, examining eyewitness accounts, testimonies, and evidence. They even took their own fingerprints and made detective badges! After solving the mystery, they explored the Victorian streets and the rest of the museum, learning more about life in the past. It was a day full of hands-on learning and excitement!

Y3 manor Lodge
Year 3 went on a prehistoric visit to Manor Lodge in November to experience what it was like to live in the Stone Age. We tracked animals and used some stone age tools, built shelters as they would have done if there were no caves available, transported large stones to construct a monument, and painted cave art by candlelight.

Kelham island Y6
On Friday 22nd November, Y6 visited Kelham Island museum, in Sheffield, to take part in a workshop that explored how Sheffield grew from a hamlet into a huge industrial city. They found out about some of the amazing machinery invented in Sheffield during the move from making individual knives to creating huge railway girders and parts for ships. They also learnt about the workers of Sheffield who made our Steel City.

The Music Festival 2024
A fun filled day had by all at our annual Music Festival on Saturday 6th July. We enjoyed listening to professional musicians alongside pupils in school who have been learning to play instruments such as the drums, violin, piano and brass. Our school choir performed alongside the Steel City Choristers which was a great opportunity for all of the children involved. Everyone enjoyed the stalls and activities on offer including the BBQ and bar.
Our FOTS team work tirelessly every year to make this event a success and raised a massive £2212. This money will be used to enhance the children's learning experiences.
Thank you to all of the staff, volunteers and FOTS who contributed.

Reading Tree
The English team have been busy applying for grants to re-vamp our library area by purchasing a reading tree to link with our woodland theme.
After their relentless efforts last term, we are delighted to receive a donation, towards the tree, from Ecclesfield Charity. Our wonderful Fots team have made this a reality by donating the rest of the funds meaning, we had enough to purchase it.
The children absolutely love it and are excited to start using it when visiting our library.
Here are some photos of our Reading Tree.

Story Sacks
Please take a look at our beautiful new story sacks. I have taken a picture of one to show you the kind of items you can find inside each bag. Each story bag will generally contain a couple of book, props and a game for the children to enjoy with parents at home. Initially, these will be borrowed and taken home by our reception children. Mrs Coe will be in touch shortly with finer details. A huge thank you to Joanna Evans from Fots who has made and sourced all the items in each bag.
They are amazing!!!
Book Vending Machine
We are delighted to have received a grant from Ecclesfield Parish Council in order to purchase our fabulous new Book Vending Machine. On Tuesday 28th March we will be having a whole school assembly to draw raffle tickets, earned by the children, for their dedication and hard work in reading. Revd Tim Gill, from Ecclesfield Parish Council, will be our very special guest and officially open our vending machine. The books that we have purchased for the machine were kindly donated by our FOTS team and they have also been invited to join our assembly. The books were chosen by all of the children in school, and we have a vast range of reading books for the children to enjoy and keep as a reward for trying hard with their reading. Every half term we will have a reading celebration assembly in order to draw the raffle tickets the children have earned. Our English lead, Mrs Harding will draw two girls and two boys from every class every half term. As a school we understand the importance of promoting a love of reading and our Book Vending Machine is an exciting addition to this.
