Hoodwinked 2025

 in Class Four / Class Three / Whole School by

Coming to you from the lively forests of Sherwood, our talented students took to the stage in their production of Hoodwinked, a playful and creative take on the legendary tale of Robin Hood.

After months of hard work, rehearsals, and teamwork, the children delivered a truly unforgettable performance. From a dramatic tree felling that left the audience gasping, to the hilarious singing friars

and a touching solo from Maid Marian, every scene sparkled with energy, heart, and humour.

The production was a true showcase of the children’s dedication and creativity. They poured their time and effort into every line, song, and costume, and it certainly paid off – what a show!

A huge thank you goes to all the parents and carers for their incredible support throughout the rehearsal period – from helping with costumes and learning lines, to cheering from the audience. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Bravo to all involved – Hoodwinked will be remembered for a long time to come!

Class 3 get creative at Levens Hall

 in Art / Class Three by

Class 3 had a wonderful day out in the sunshine creating imaginative and original art inspired by the wonderful colours and shapes in Levens Hall Gardens.

We worked on developing our skills to give the illusion of 3d forms on paper using graphite sticks and water colours on a range of different papers.

During the afternoon we worked collaboratively on four colourful interpretations of the borders.  We worked vertically on easels using oil pastels.

We also climbed into the shrubs and undergrowth in dark corners of the hedges to capture the abstract patterns, shapes and lines of the branches above our heads.

Thank you to Levens Hall for allowing us to wander the gardens seeking inspiration throughout our special day immersing ourselves in art and nature.

 

Bastille Day

 in Class Four / Class Three / Languages - French by

Key Stage Two had a brilliant day learning all about Bastille Day and the French Revolution. The children all came dressed as a French word; we were really impressed with the creativity of the outfits. Thank you to everyone who supported this at home! The children all had the opportunity to try items of food you would find in a petit dejeuner. We all had a great time practising our French speaking and learning about some of the customs and traditions in France.

Sports Day

Wow what an amazing sports day at Levens. Luckily the weather held off and we all had a great time. Thank you to all of the parents/carers who came and supported the day!

More learning outside the classroom for Class 4

 in Class Four / PE by

Class 4 had an amazing day at Fell Foot this week!

During the morning we worked with ‘Waterwise’ to learn all about how to implement self-rescue and assess a situation before even stepping into the water.  The lake was deeper than usual at this time of year, and colder, but we persevered and our confidence grew during the session.

After a tasty picnic lunch, we enjoyed orienteering and paddle boarding! Not a pencil or pen used all day!
