This week, Scafell class have mixed up tradition and created their own Kindness Calendars, The class have thought about, designed and created their lovely kindness calendars and written one kind action under each flap. Miss Dawson would love to know how the children got on making their Mum cups of tea, helping to wash up and walking the dog! 🙂 Enjoy the Holidays everyone!
This term, the children have thoroughly enjoyed getting muddy playing Tag Rugby on the field. The enthusiasm and energy that they have shown throughout training has been amazing, and their skills have hugely improved over the term. Parents and staff have really enjoyed watching the team. Well done to a great coach and to a great team!
This term, the children in Scafell have worked hard and enjoyed Gymnastics every Thursday; led by Mrs Craggs, They have been practising their cartwheels, handstands, jumps and balances and some children will be showing off their skills in a Gymnastics competition next year, The children cannot wait! Well done Scafell and Mrs Craggs.
Yesterday, each class was treated to a very interesting talk and visit from The Owl Sanctuary. Bowfell Class have been learning all about nocturnal animals and have spent this week learning all about owls!! We were all lucky enough to handle an owl in turn. If you want to know anything about owls – talk to Bowfell Class – they are all now experts!
Bowfell Class have been baking very special Christmas gifts this week. Look at our lovely shortbread biscuits lovingly prepared to share with volunteers, helpers and our Open the Book team from St. John’s Church to say thank you for all they do for us at Levens School.
This week we welcomed our audiences of all ages to three performances of our wonderful nativity play. Every child in school took part – from nursery all the way up to our year 6 pupils. The singing was spectacular; there was award-winning acting; and the costumes were stunning!! Thanks to everyone involved in learning lines and making costumes. It truly was AMAZING!
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Christmas-Extravaganza Crafts on Monday. Parents and pre-school children came together with our Reception children to decorate biscuits; make table arrangements; Christmas decorations, crackers and Santa bags; before enjoying milk and delicious biscuits whilst listening to a special Christmas story.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
In October we were invited to take part in a project to produce an inspiring piece of music to be performed at the Cumbria Primary Heads’ Conference. We were filmed signing and singing a specially adapted version of “You Raise Me Up” to be accompanied by a live soloist. Here is the finished film, get your tissues at the ready! (The musical intro has no images for the first 44s)
This week, Bowfell have been making a larger-than-life calendar! As you can see, it is a very big snowman who has windows full of kind deeds and ways to spread a little happiness this festive season. The art work and ideas for our ‘acts of kindness’ have all been independently created by children in Bowfell Class.
Pam came into school on Wednesday carrying lots of boxes full of materials to make Advent Rings. Our ring has four candles, one for each of the four Sundays until Christmas. We will light them in school as we count down too.
The children also made Mrs Coker and Mrs Farraday special individual candles arrangements.
Thank you to Eco Team, School Council members and a few extra volunteers in Skiddaw class who worked with Pam and, of course, thanks to Pam for providing all the resources and giving her time.
