Outdoor play rehearsals, July 7th

Seeing as how it was such a nice and the sun was shining, we decided to take advantage of the weather by taking our production rehearsals outside.

Scene groups rehearsed their lines and their manner of delivery in the sunshine and inched ever closer to our big date of July 18th - with 11 days to go, it's looking pretty good!



Careers morning Monday July 7th 2014

Today saw a very interesting break from the usual Monday classroom routine - two guests from Leeds University came to see Year 6 and led two very different tasks.

Mr Lawrence delivered an interesting lesson on symoblogy, where images were associated with memories and other associations and this resulted in our class creating their own coats of arms linked to life experiences and priorities.

Miss Wier delivered an interesting university life workshop during which she spoke openly about life as a university student, how to get to university and how to learn to look after yourself when away from home.

All in all, we had a fascinating morning and we would like to thank both of our guests for their time.

The ice breakers - would you rather... game with some interesting choices!

Discussing which jobs require a university degree

Discussing our career ambitions and the qualification paths we may need to take.

A starter's guide to symbology - how do the images we see every day affect us and what symbolises our own values?
