We like you to feel involved in our 'Big Think-Big talk' assemblies.

This week's theme is National Childrens' Day, rights and responsibilities.

The key question we are asking is:

What is the difference between a right and a responsibility?

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you have had a good end to the week and are able to enjoy some family time over the Bank holiday weekend. You may remember from previous conversations around the time of the school expansion that Leeds City Council is considering the possibility of installing a 'School Street' on Breary Rise.

The aim of creating a School Street is to restrict traffic on specific roads at the beginning and end of the school day and make it more welcoming for those wanting to walk, scoot or cycle to school. School Streets also help reduce road danger, improve air quality and reduce congestion. If Breary Rise became a School Street, there would be some exemptions to traffic restrictions. They would include Breary Rise residents, Emergency Vehicles, Blue Badge holders and liveried delivery vehicles.

Leeds City Council have asked me to share information about the proposed scheme and provide access to an online consultation. Following the parent consultation, there will also be a consultation with local residents.

To find out more about School streets scheme please click here www.leeds.gov.uk/schoolstreets.

To read more about the proposal for our school please click here

To answer the 5-minute, online survey please click here, or speak to a member of the admin team if you would like a paper copy.

If you would like to speak to someone about the parent survey please email schoolstreets@leeds.gov.uk.

Once the consultation process is complete, Leeds City council will email me with the outcome and explain any next steps. I will update you on the proposal as soon as I hear back from them and would encourage as many parents as possible to complete the online survey.

Class 2G

Class 2G have been learning about life cycles and adapting to different habitats in science. They were very excited that Reception had their own chicks. Everyone in 2G enjoyed holding one of the chicks and were all extremely sensible and quiet!

Heart Dissection

This week Year 5 and 6 had the opportunity to take part in a brilliant hands-on experience dissecting a heart. They were able to build on their learning from this half-term about how the heart works and the structure inside. They were also able to see a pair of lungs, understand how they inflate and observe what they look like inside.

Brownlee Mini-Triathlon

Last Friday, Year 6 travelled to John Charles Centre for Sport to take part in a mini-triathlon. It was a sunny day and everyone had a fantastic time. We started the event in the pavilion; learning about the format of a triathlon in a pre-race briefing before each child was given their own event t-shirt and words of encouragement.

Thomas dived into the pool first with Lola and the rest of the Year 6 children hot on his heels. Much like any triathlon, transition one was a blur of organised chaos as children clambered out of the pool towards the bike racks. After following a twisting bike course, each child raced as fast as they could and left transition two to begin the run...

The Year 6 children performed extremely well and demonstrated respect, team work, communication and determination. Every child was awarded a medal and a goody bag and everyone should feel very proud of themselves!

I'm definitely going to do another triathlon,' Eaden.

'I had an amazing day; I would definitely do it again. My favourite part was swimming,' Alice.
