Hi
Well the final half-term of primary school has arrived and it's going to be a busy one!
The Year 6s who are moving to Benton Park enjoyed their transition day on Tuesday. The next transition day for Benton Park is on the 20th June.
The transition day for Guiseley School is Tuesday 27th June.
Letters went home this week for Bikeability and the 'Grow a £5' challenge. Please can these be returned by Monday 12th June.
In class this week, our PSHE lesson focused on how we can look after our physical, emotional and mental health. I was impressed by discussion that resulted and we will continue to think about this in the remaining weeks off the half-term. My maths group have been completing activities linked to their transition to secondary school and learning a little about a few famous mathematicians such as Archimedes. In English, independent writing of persuasive leaflets has been taking place and self-editing and improving work is being encouraged. These are the skills needed for secondary school. We enjoyed a lovely, sunny PE lesson preparing for Sports Day and in particular the relay race.
We have even more things to fit in next week!
The weekend is looking like it's going to be a sunny one so enjoy!

Hello,
Maple Tree Class have had a creative week.
On Monday, the children developed their pencil drawing skills with a visiting artist. They learned how to draw birds and will continue with this theme in a series of lessons in the coming weeks.
The children also worked on the next stage of their automata animals in their design and technology lesson. The children measured where to drill the required holes and used drills and saws in preparation for the next stage of their moving animal.
On Thursday, the class continued to enjoy learning a dance routine with a Leeds Rhinos dance couch. They are enjoying every minute!
The Year 6 Leavers' Hoodies are now available to order from PC Sports . Please click on the link below.
Thank you to the Friends of Rufford Park for providing the funds for these. All orders need to be made by Friday 2nd June so they can be delivered to school by before the end of June.
Have a super weekend!
Mrs Trotter
