• Thank You from the Friends of Strawberry Fields

  Thu 30 Jun 2016 FoSF
  Friends of Strawberry Fields would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all parents, carers, staff and pupils who supported our School Summer Fair, whether via donations, helping to man a stall or spending money at the fair. We couldn’t have done it without you!! 
   A special ‘thank you’ to those of you who have recently started helping F of SF, (it is great to see some new faces) as well as existing members of course.
  We hope you agree it was a real success; the children certainly looked like they enjoyed themselves.
  Together we raised £1140.00, which will go towards outdoor gym equipment.
  The raffle has been drawn and winners can collect prizes from the office.
  F of SF forthcoming Events:
  Staff Panto for pupils this Thursday after school – only a few tickers left (£3 each)
  Teddy Bears Picnic 21st July, after school for Reception pupils.  This can only go ahead if a couple more volunteers come forward by 11/7/16.
  If you are interested in helping out at any F of SF events, please contact Linda Roberts on 07739 471022, Kelly Richards on 07872 520064 or the office.

• Y5/6 African Voices Day

  Wed 15 Jun 2016 Mr Henshall

  African Voices is a project where African students from the University of Leeds work in schools sharing information about life in African with the children. On 8th June we were lucky enough to have three students come to work with our Y5/6 children. Mr Henshall says….

  "The African Voices day was a fantastic addition to the children’s learning. It was brilliant to see the children so interested in learning about Africa with Yemi, Nura and Ademola delivering their ideas in an accessible way. The use of photos and their own personal experiences really helped to give the children a picture of what life is like in Africa and particularly Nigeria. There is no doubt that the children now have a more detailed perspective of Africa. The children loved finding out about how important dance is to daily life and they all really enjoyed the dancing that they did in the afternoon."

• KS1 Football Tournament Match Report

  Wed 15 Jun 2016 Mr Bradley

  Our key stage one football team played a tournament on Monday 13th June at Garforth Academy.  The children represented our school well and played some good football, making us very proud of them!

  In all, we played five games against other local schools, winning one game, drawing two and losing two.  Our goals were scored by Finlay and Alex.  Congratulations to the eventual winners, St. Benedict's Catholic Primary School.
