Today some of our Year 6 pupils organised a fund raising day for Natasha's Foundation and research into food allergies. We had a non-uniform day, games and activities for everyone to try during the day. Thank you Year 6. (The initial count looks like they raised nearly £300)

It was great for us to be holding our annual Sports Day.
Well done for everyone, but especially the Green Team as overall winners.

As part of our RE and learning about World Religions, we have had a visit by two Monks from a local Buddhist Temple. They spoke about their lives, beliefs, traditions and ceremonies. They told us about the importance of meditation and we all had a go.

Well done Year 6 on completing SATs week. You all approached it with such positivity and a determination to show what you could do. We are so proud of you.

After a few weeks with our own children performing, we had a theatre company come into school to perform a version of 'The Railway Children'. This captivated us all. Afterwards our Year 6 took part in a behind the scenes workshop to see how the production was put together.

Year 5 visited Boston Spa Academy for the day to see what life is going to be like as a High School pupil. We had a great day. We travelled there on the bus and then had a Maths, PE, Music and Drama lesson as well as lunch in the canteen before returning to Harewood.

Class 2 took part in a Polar workshop linked to their Geography learning. Thank you to Mr Harrison who led this. He works for a company who have employees working in the polar regions. The class even had a Teams call with a colleague who is currently working in Antarctica.

School had the pleasure of welcoming the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Leeds. They spent time in each class helping us learn about the role of Mayor and local democracy. The Mayor was accompanied on the visit by Sienna who is this year's Leeds Children's Mayor.

Our Advent season started with a trip to St George's Church to see their nativity production and then yesterday we decorated our school tree. Each child in school made a decoration and placed it on the tree before we turned on the lights.

Today Class 1 and Sienna from Class 4, who is the Leeds Children's Mayor this year, visited the Harewood War Memorial and laid a wreath on behalf of school prior to the Remembrance Day events this coming weekend. Our Church School Ambassadors have also been selling poppies.

We entered a basketball team into a local tournament at Boston Spa Academy this week. The team were great ambassadors for our school and played very well. We came 3rd, which was an amazing result.

Congratulations Sienna. Last night it was announced that Sienna had been elected as the Leeds Children's Mayor for 2025-26. We are very proud of her and all the work she put in to get to this point. Amazing!
