KS1 Rags to Riches Autumn 24 Newsletter
If you go down to the woods today…….
You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!
Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.
The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.
It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.
After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.
We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.

LKS2 celebration of learning
LKS2 celebration of learning event is tomorrow at 2pm. The children have worked incredibly hard to perform some of their poetry, songs and showcase their beautiful art work.
After the performance, children’s individual pouring canvases will be sold in the spare classroom at a minimum donation of £2. Children’s artwork will also be displayed in their classrooms as a gallery where an order can be placed for a minimum donation of 50p.
Proceeds from the sales will go towards the Disasters Emergence Committee charity as well as school funds to support your child’s further expeditions.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Expert Visitor
This week KS1 had a very special guest come to visit us. Captain Adrian Bagnall is a retired Pilot with more than 3 decades of experience flying all over the world with British Airways. He talked about his journey to becoming a pilot and some of his experiences. He showed us lots of photographs and videos from his time of being a pilot. The children asked some fantastic questions which really showcased how much they have learned and enjoyed our current expedition.

Staying safe around water
At this week’s swimming lesson, as part of drowning prevention week, Year 5 worked with the teachers to understand the key aspects of water safety, and learning to swim when they are fully clothed. Every child fully understood the importance and was able to articulate well how they could remain safe.
To supplement this, we created water safety posters in our we care Wednesday crew session which are now on display at the leisure centre, well done!

Y2 Yorkshire Air Museum
Year 2 have had a brilliant day learning about the history of flight. We enjoyed looking at planes, learning about jet engines and making our own helicopters. We came face to face with models of the Wright Flier, Halifax bombers, Hurricanes and Spitfires. We saw parts from Concorde and found out about a pioneering pilot called Amy Johnson.
We had a wonderful time in the sunshine and we’re sure Year 1 are going to have a great time too.
We’d like to thank the staff at the Air Museum for a great day and thank the children for their brilliant behaviour.
