Christmas Carols @ DePuy Synthes
The School Choir, led by the wonderful Mrs. Rivers, brought joy and festive cheer to our dear senior citizens during a special concert organized by DePuy Synthes and the invaluable Kerry Seymour.
With beautiful harmonies and heartfelt performances, the choir created a warm and uplifting atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The children's enthusiasm and talent were evident as they shared their music, spreading happiness and creating a lovely connection with the senior guests. It was a heartwarming occasion, and we are so proud of the choir for their outstanding performance and kindness in bringing smiles to so many faces. DePuy organised a fantastic, delicious Christmas dinner and as a thank you to our wonderful performers, each child received a gift from Santa! We will never forget that day!
Year 6 Leeds United Workshops
We were delighted to have the Leeds United Primary Choices Team in to work with Year 6. We took part in a range of activities on the impact of crime and violence, which will support us in making the right choices to divert us away from violence, harm and exploitation.
Into University
Year 6 classes took part in a focus week all about Art History! The children studied famous people from artistic backgrounds including Yinka Shonibare and Benjamin Zephaniah! On Tuesday, we were visited by a Professor of Paleontology and a Lecturer of Design and got to make our own cool fossil prints! Then we went to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, where we studied the amazing art and even had a go at making some of our own! Finally on Friday, we graduated! We performed special presentations and got to wear our very own mortar boards and gowns!
Year 6 Empowerment Art
Year 6 pupils worked alongside our resident artist to create this wonderful artwork on the theme of empowerment!
