Events

Chinese New Year will be celebrated by many families during the half-term break, and today the children in Nursery enjoyed learning about this special festival. The children wore red items of clothing and talked about why the colour red is important during Chinese New Year. They took part in a range of fun and engaging activities, including making cards, dragon dancing, tasting noodles, and creating paper chains. It was a lovely day full of learning, creativity, and celebration.

Year 3 had a fun day in the sunshine at Nell Bank as part of The School’s Linking Project They enjoyed all the outdoor activities as well as making friends with the children from Eldwick Primary School.

Thornton Hall Country Park Farm

Reception had a fantastic visit to Thornton Hall Country Park Farm. We fed lambs, calves and deer and was able to pet some of the smaller animals too. We learnt how to care for animals and animal babies. 

Year 2 visit Saltaire

Year Two had a great time visiting Saltaire and learning even more about Titus Salt’s village. We looked at the street names and could see they were named after his family. We found lots of amazing places in Saltaire such as the church, Robert’s Park, River Aire and of course Salt’s Mill. We went inside the mill and saw some beautiful pieces of art by David Hockney. It was wonderful to see how a man from Bradford has made such an amazing place which has helped so many people!
