Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Harvest Festival in church. 

We welcomed Open the Book into school to lead collective worship. They told us the story of Elisha and Naaman. This story teaches us that no matter who we are or where we come from, God can heal us and make us whole.

The children put on a wonderful show demonstrating their musical talents.

We have been exploring fields of bluebells and making dandelion art. 

A very well done to all the children for their beautiful singing, acting and reading. 

We have been enjoying ourselves skipping, practicing for our Skipathon fund raiser

Our Breakfast and After school club pupils have completed another jigsaw, what an achievement, we are all so very proud.

We had a lovely service at St Edith's to celebrate Harvest.

Keystage 2 had a Roman day, we had allsorts of activies and even cake to round the day off nicely.

Just to show you our displays in school, enjoy.

We thought we would share with you our lunchtime.

The making, creating and eating was super in this lesson, enjoyed by all.

We have taken part in the RSPB big Garden Birdwatch again this year.  We made some tempting treats and upcycled our plastic bottles to make bird feeders.  We watched from the windows very quietly and noted the garden visitors.  All Staff and pupils very much enjoyed this activity.

We enjoyed producing 'The Children of the World' for our Parents, also the Head Teachers award was proudly presented to Poppy.

We are definitely getting into the Christmas spirit at school.

A massive thank you, once again, to the Garrowby estate for the donation of our school Christmas tree.

The children did a super job of decorating it. 

Our Key stage 1 and early years pupils have had an Autumn Welly Walk, noticing the changing of the Season

Science - States of matter

Science - Proof of Reversible Change

Keystage 2 have created a Timeline, we even took advantage of the lovely weather and did some outdoor learning,

We had great fun celebrating World Book Day, and outfits that impressed.

We have been making Pancakes using ingredients, mixing, cooking and taste testing the finished pancakes, they were delicious.

Here is a summary of our Christmas Activities: Tree Decorating, Christmas Crafts, Christingle, Our Community Advent windows, The Pantomime, Real Aid Shoeboxes and the Christmas Party.

Mrs Diston came into school to teach us a little bit of German. She showed us some German songs. 

In KS2 we have been studying different places in the world and looking the different foods from those places. We spent the afternoon developing our cooking skills as we chopped, peeled, fried, boiled, mixed and then tasted. We also made sure we knew where all the countries were on the globe and developed our geography skills. 

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the country stops and observes a two minute silence. We do this to show respect for and remember all those who have given their life in the service of their country. 

At Bishop Wilton we stopped to remember and we were joined by our vicar, Rev Mike, parents and friends of the school. We laid poppies to remember. We have sold poppies in school and the money will go to the charity of the Royal British Legion who help the veterans of the wars and their families. 

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them"

Laurence Binyon 

At the start of this half term we visited the Buddhist Temple in Kilnwick Percy with some of the children from Middleton We listened carefully to the lady who told us about how Buddhists meditate, what they believe and how they try to live their lives. 

Here is the final version of the work we presented for the Bishop Wilton Show. We made our own pottery for the pottery class but then we took photographs of our work. We then edited our photographs to create the effect we wanted. We hope you enjoy them.
