KS1

Bobby A

KS2

Leo E

A huge well done to all children who got involved!

The amount raised from the staff walking challenge is £2500 so, in total, we have raised over £5,000 for school.

We will keep you informed as to how this money is spent.

This week a number of our pupils got the chance to go to a dance workshop held at Hanson run by Elevate Dance Academy. They had a great time.

Another group of children had a fantastic morning of tennis at Ilkley Tennis club!

This was a great experience for our KS2 children, who got the opportunity to not only take part in playing, but to also watch some professionals in action!

Love it or loathe it, AI is becoming part of daily life and research shows that a number of children are already using it and this number is rising. We hope this guide will help you to navigate the use of AI with your child.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday 16th June.
