Pyjama Day

PYJAMA DAY WAS GREAT!
Most of the children and grown-ups in Bardsey pimary school on Friday the 11th
of December came to school in pyjamas to raise money for two friendship benches. One bench in upper school and one in lower school.
We had to rehearse the Christmas play in our pyjamas.

PYJAMA DAY WAS A HIT!

Auditions for Baboushka

Listen to the girls auditioning for the part of Baboushka.

On Friday, 20th November Robins (Y3) hosted their Class Assembly. They presented information, pictures, maps and poems about Bardsey and also about Friendship, to end our Friendship week in school. Watch out for upcoming photos and video of the event!

To help raise money for Children In Need we came to school in our funky footwear.

Orchestra at Boston

Some girls from year 4 went to play in an orchestra at Boston Spa high school.In the orchestra we did 5 opera pieces and performed to the parents.There were 70 other people playing in it.We helped each other when we were stuch We all came back very proud of what we had done and we had smiles on our faces.

On Monday, our new vicar came to school. He's called Chris and he talked to us about trust.He then helped to give out the feathers.

Robins' Control and Programming

Robins have been learning to programme the Probots and have explored some of the things they can do. Here we are planning a road map route for the Probot to follow. Look out for the finished articles in our Class Assembly on 20th November (we hope!).

School Council

This is a video of school council reps asking the younger Children some questions about school.School Council is a group of Children who get together every two weeks and discuss things each class wants improving or buying.Then they will report back to their class what was said.

This video shows the children who have earned feathers this week.Feathers are earned by children who do something special in class or follow the school rules .

Scarecrows!

The scarecrows that reception and year 5 have been working on are finally finished! Miss Williams and Miss Balcon delivered them safely to Harewood House for the competition. The theme was 'The Enormous Turnip!' - but instead of the turnip they used a pumpkin (to match this time of year).

All the children thoroughly enjoyed making the scarecrows.

We just hope we win!!

Mrs Barker's visit

On Monday 19th October Mrs Barker came to tell Years 5 and 6 about life in Leeds during World War 2. We found her talk fascinating and her stories, some of which were very sad, really helped to bring the topic to life. She told us about the first air raid on Leeds and how one of her friends was killed when her house was bombed. She also told us about her brothers and what happened to them.

Straw Starts to Become Scarecrows

The Receptions and Year 5 have decided to make some brilliant scarecrows to enter into the Harewood House Scarecrow Competition. Today (14.10.09) while half of the class were playing, the other half were using unwanted school uniform to start making the scarecrows.

We started to stuff straw into the tights and the bin bags. There were lots and lots of hands to help and lots and lots of mess!

While the year 5's were playing they found out that all the equipment in recpetion was the same as when they were there and it brought back lots of memories! We were all suprised that we used to be able to fit onto the play equipment.

We had lots of fun today making our awesome scarecrows! The year 5's were helping the receptions to do their best... And they did!

Eden Camp Photos

Everyone agrees that our visit to Eden Camp was a big success.

Year 5 and 6 visit Eden Camp

Yesterday (6/10/09) Year 5 and 6 went back in time to a place where prisoners of war (P.O.W.) were kept, with models and information telling you about WWII. At first both classes were taken to a puppet show, which was very amusing and entertaining! We were all quite wet when we came out though because they kept squirting water at us!
After the puppet show we were split into groups and off we went, learning all about WWII. There were dark bits and smokey bits and we were all scared out of our boots! Eventually it was lunch and thankfully there were no food fights!
Next, we all went to the gift shop, toy heaven for some, but it didn't last for long, we had to get back on the bus.
and that's the end of year 5 and Year 6's school trip to Eden Camp.
