Autumn Term 2024 Whole School Activity - The History of Policing

At last we can see the pictures of this event. David Hardcastle, an ex-police officer, came into school and ran 2 workshops, 1 with Year 3 and 4, and 1 with Year 5 and 6. He talked about the history of policing, children got to try on police clothing, they got to try finger print markings, he brought in lots of artefacts for the children to look at and shared lots of interesting stories with us all!

VE 80 Celebrations

In the morning, we watched a WW2 production about life during the war, then all classes carried out their own VE day activities such as making medals, learning the lyrics to 'We'll Meet Again' and creating VE Day bunting. In the afternoon, we had a fabulous magician in the hall for some 'traditional entertainment' which really had us all laughing, and we enjoyed a whole school street party together on the playground. Thank you to parents for sending food in and to the children for looking fabulous in their red, white & blue and 1940s outfits! It was a very memorable day!

School Closure Week 1

As you know, it is very strange time at school at the moment with the closure due to the coronavirus but we had a great week with the children. Each day we had between 8-10 children with some children being with us all week. The children have been fantastic and enjoyed being out in the sunshine, playing pirates and helping to plant potatoes and other seeds as well as clearing the gardening area.

They have been to the pond and held frogspawn, made a cycle track for their bikes out of grass, worked hard with Joe Wickes everyday, drawn beautiful pictures of flowers, made rainbows, solved maths problems, written diaries and much much more!

On Friday afternoon we had a Reward Assembly with all the children being Golden Stars and they chose to come into the hall to 'We Are the Champions' by Queen. They shared their favourite parts of the week (as well as the weirdest parts!) and were all given a certificate for the things they had been up to.

We will keep you updated about the things we have been doing and we hope you will keep us updated about what you have been up to too. Email news@yeadonwestfieldjuniorschool.co.uk with your pictures and videos and we will get them up on the school website for everyone to see.

Stay Safe everyone - we can do this together!
