This week, the children in Year Two really enjoyed enhancing their history curriculum work by visiting Ilkley Toy museum. They learnt all about toys from the past and how they can be both similar and different to toys they play with nowadays. They enjoyed handling old toys and observing the artefacts. Some of the toys have been loaned to Harewood House for their Christmas exhibition! Many thanks to Sarah Williams for coming along to help.

You may have seen Jupiter Class out and about in Carleton earlier this week! On Monday afternoon, the class went for a walk around the village to complete some Geography fieldwork. As part of our Sustainability topic, they discussed ways that people try to live more sustainably, such as through using solar panels for energy and recycling waste. They then recorded examples of sustainability in action in Carleton on maps, ready to follow up next week. The following afternoon, t

This year, Mars Class is focusing on health, wellbeing and physical activity as their class club. As part of this, Year 5 participated in sports leadership training delivered by Adam from Skipton Tennis Centre with the aim of leading and engaging children in games and physical activities at playtimes and lunchtime. The children learnt a variety of simple games to run with children across the school and identified ways in which they can make the games more challenging and comp

Our Year 6 children spent the week at Newby Wiske Hall alongside children from Christchurch CE Primary and Sutton CE Primary. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and made memories and friends that will last a lifetime. They had so many wonderful experiences such as: hiking, watersports, canoeing, climbing, abseiling, orienteering, archery and many more. We can't wait to have them back in school after the half-term break.

Well done to our Y4 and 5 footballers who had a fantastic morning representing our school at Sandylands!

An opportunity for current and prospective parents to come and take a look around our lovely school

Over the last two weeks, children from Earth and Mars class were tasked with designing their own model of our Solar System. The enthusiasm, creativity and commitment the children have shown towards this project was fabulous to see and the results have been superb! We have had a wide range of models brought into school, including 3D models, artwork, presentations, fact files and even a solar system cake. The children had opportunities to show off their work to their peers with

The children all had an absolutely fantastic experience in the space dome yesterday. Dennis, who led the sessions, was really knowledgeable and took the children on a journey through the furthest reaches of our solar system. The children were absolutely buzzing when they came out, and staff were amazed by how much children from right across the school had learned. A huge thankyou to the Friends of the school for subsidising this brilliant event.

All of the children in the school have been able to take part in a Drumba session today. Drumba combines, drumming, music and fitness through a high impact session that promotes fitness and also lots of fun! This has been a great activity to take part in during world mental health day - and the children have thought about the impact of music and exercise on their mental and physical well-being. It has been lovely to see them all leaving their sessions full of excitement, with

The children in Year 6 had an absolutely brilliant day when they took part in an ‘All Rise’ workshop where they learnt about the justice system and how it applies to their everyday lives. They had an introduction to law and took part in a mock trial. They also learnt about cyberbullying and the laws surrounding this. The workshop was run by James Stewart who runs workshops in schools across the country teaching children about the justice system.

On Tuesday night, our incredible Year 6 performed their talent show to over 70 adults in attendance. We saw musicians, magicians,...
