  Some of our Year 5 children attended Greenbank High School to represent their year group as part of the Smile Challenge. 

   

  This annual event gives children a small amount of money and they have to do something with it to make people in the local community smile. Our children made products and sold them on behalf of charities that they had selected.

  Yesterday and today we were lucky enough to have a visit from Ninja Warrior UK for schools. Jonny Urzuly, a previous winner, set up an assault course in the hall and challenged all children (and staff) to complete it. As well as this, Jonny presented an inspirational assembly for the children, about reaching goals and working towards challenges.

• World Book Day 2019

  Thu 07 Mar 2019

  What a fabulous day we've had celebrating World Book Day. All of the staff and children looked amazing in their costumes and we've taken lots of photographs to show you too. 

  During the day all of the children took part in a special Big Shared Read - they selected the book they'd like to listen to and then went to join the member of staff who read it to them. 

  We've also had a book swap with the books the children had brought in from home and lots of other book related activities. 

   

  Thank you to all the parents, children and staff for making it a day to remember!

   

  Enjoy the pictures!
