Our nativity this year has been inspired by a beautiful book called Refuge by Anne Booth and Sam Usher. Y2 really enjoyed reading it and have retold the story to create the script for our nativity play. Here are a few photos from our first night – thanks to Aggie Dobson for these beautiful shots.
On Wednesday 7th December, Yakkers recorded the whole school saying and singing our nativity play, Refuge. We are the chosen school for their 7.50am slot on Lakeland Radio every day next week. We hope you will be listening out for us – you’ll have to be up early!

The Levens Pupil Parliament Team of Olly, Rosie, Alfie and Amelia travelled to Storth Primary School on 28th November, at the invitation of Storth School Council, to meet with Tim Farron and participate in a question and answer session. Our team were keen to know, what Mr Farron intended to do about Village speeding, what MP’s did when they lost their seats in Parliament, if Mr Farron found it difficult to do what constituents wanted if he didn’t agree with what they were wanting and why politicians didn’t always deliver on their promises. Tim took it all in his stride, responding with sincerity and humour that kept his entire audience engaged and amused. Our team were mature, confident speakers and brilliant ambassadors – a joy to accompany in fact!
A big thank you to everyone who donated to such a fantastic charity. As a school we raised a brilliant £225, which is the highest ever amount for Levens School. Well Done!!!
After school today Storth School came to play against us in netball. We had a great time, dodging, passing and shooting! The game ended with Storth in the lead but great sportsmanship was evident on both sides. Thank you very much to Mrs Whinstanley who stayed to give our team coaching tips from the side lines, to Mrs Coker for supplying orange juice for thirsty players and to Mrs Craggs for umpiring and providing much enjoyed oranges! It was also great to have Miss Taylor and parents cheering us on from the side lines too.
The whole school have had a brilliant day raising money for Children In Need.
The School Council ran a cake sale at playtime, under expert supervision of Mrs Mason. Thank you for all your kind donations.
We all donated £1 to wear spots for the day. Here are our two youngest children showing off their spots!
The School Council also volunteered to make a cake each to be raffled. Everyone tried their luck and bought a ticket. The lucky winners were announced in Good Work Assembly.
‘Well Done’ and ‘Thank You’ to everyone involved! We’ve had successful day and lots of fun was had by all. We will share the grand total raised next week.
The volunteers from the Boxes of Hope collected our shoesboxes yesterday. In all we sent 20 shoe boxes which will be distributed with thousands of other donations to children in Romania.
A big thank you to those who filled a shoe box this year.
Lots of fun and dancing was had on Wednesday evening, the girls looking lovely and the boys playing it cool!
School Council ran the games, with the help of our super DJs.
We had a special visit from Pudsy Bear this afternoon. He came in preparation for Children in Need day on Friday. You’ll see us dressed in spots, selling cakes and holding a cake raffle to raise funds this Friday.
