• Maths Challenge Winners

  Fri 15 Feb 2013
   Very well done to Finlay, Freddie, Louis and Robert for their excellent performance in the Harrogate Grammar School maths challenge. A superb team, they worked solidly through all four rounds to claim First Prize against over 20 other participating schools. Their concentration and cooperation was fantastic, and their ability to think around maths problems and solve a wide range of challenges efficiently was remarkable. They even scored 100% in round two! We are all very proud of their achievement, and are delighted to be able to display the Maths Challenge shield in our school. 

• Lent has begun - leading up to our Easter Service on 26th March

  Tue 12 Feb 2013

  Our Easter Service at church will be a highlight of our Easter celebrations this term.

  In school, Lent began with Pancake Tuesday as the Nursery children enjoyed mixing up pancakes, running pancake races, watching Mrs Eaman flipping pancakes, and, of course, eating pancakes!

  Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about the Easter story through collective worship and RE in school. All the children will visit the church to learn more about Easter from Rev Garry on Friday 22nd March, before we all join together for our Easter Service at the church, on Tuesday 26th March.

  During the Easter Service, children from each class will present performances linked to aspects of the Easter story, and we will sing and worship together, with parents and carers invited too. We hope many parents and carers will be able to join us for this special occasion. 

• Chinese New Year

  Fri 08 Feb 2013

  The children had a great day celebrating Chinese New Year. Unicorns class have been working on oriental artwork, numbers and stories, while Nursery and Team Dragon have role play Chinese cafes, dressing up, Chinese artwork, lanterns and snakes. The children have even been counting in Cantonese!
  At lunchtime we shared a lovely Chinese meal together, with noodles, rice, chicken and beansprouts. As well as Mrs Shields' superb cooking, the children enjoyed opening Fortune Cookies and sharing prawn crackers, to the sound of Chinese music in the background.

  Thank you to Mrs Shields and Mrs Lazenby for working so hard on the food preparation, and Mrs Harris and Mrs Addyman for their help in making this a very exciting and memorable meal.
