RE Sikh Studies. The wonderful Mr Singh returns!

Mr Singh came to visit Y6 and discuss their new topic all about Sikhism in RE. He discussed some of the core values of Sikhism and shared the 5 Ks of the religion. The children showed great care, respect and interest towards Mr Singh and the Sikh religion. As you can see they were LEARNING LOTS and HAVING FUN #Britishvalues #TeamPSPS. Thanks to Miss Wykes our new R.E. Subject Leader for organising this visit for Y6.

This week some of the children in Year 6 have been lucky enough to complete their level 1 and some their level 2 for bike ability. Children that have not completed it (but signed up) will be after the half term.

We had a very special visitor this week; Amanda Harper from Look North. We got to hear about her job, hold a camera and microphone, look at Look North scripts and tell her about the newspaper reports we are writing.

The children made roast potato wedges to celebrate the end of SATS. We have sent a recipe home in case they want to make them.

Today we had a lady from West End Theatre to do a Jungle Book dance workshop. The children performed the story of Jungle book and had so much fun doing it!

A special visitor came to speak to all of the Year 6s this week. John Hussey, the great-nephew to Leonard Hussey, came to talk about the Endurance expedition which ended in catastrophic failure. He shared his research of Leonard, who was a crew member on the ill-fated ship and has helped inspire all of us to write our non-chronological reports.

6c enjoyed making cream cheese and pineapple potato skins today. We will send the recipes home over the next few days as the children would like to make them at home with different fillings.

6c had a wonderful afternoon playing board games for achieving their ace attendance reward. Well done!

The children really enjoyed making a variety of periscopes today in Science. We will be using them next week to look at how light travels.

If you would like to make one at home the website is below by STEM.

Years 3,4,5 an 6 were so lucky to go see Sleeping Beauty yesterday at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford. The children really enjoyed the show, and smiled and laughed lots. We are very grateful for Jeremy Nolan, who the children saw there as this was funded by him. We even got a ice lolly at the interval. Thank you!
