• Year 4 Robinwood

  Fri 26 Jan 2024

  In January, Year 4 spent 3 days at Robinwood activity centre in Todmorden where they experienced a wide range of challenging adventure activities such as canoeing, rock climbing, caving, trapeze, zip wire and not forgetting the most nerve-tingling activity of all - the piranha pool!

  

• Panto Time

  Tue 19 Dec 2023

  Last Friday, the whole school went to the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe on our annual panto outing to see 'Beauty and the Beast' starring, as always, everyone's favourite, Annie Fannie! All the children had lots of fun and two of the Year 6 were even chosen to go up on stage. We all hope we can go again next year.

  

• Festive Fun Run

  Today, we held our annual festive fun run. Each class took a turn to go out onto the playground and run laps dressed in their festive clothes just for fun!

  

• Author Visit

  Wed 29 Nov 2023

  On Monday 27th November, the children's author L. D. Lapinski came to talk to Key Stage 2 about her books. She read a section from her new book 'Step Father Christmas' and did some fun games. Families that wanted to could pre-order signed copies of her books. Hopefully L. D. Lapinski will have inspired children to read some of her books or even write some of their own!

  

• Cross Country

  Tue 14 Nov 2023

  Children from year 3, 4, 5 and 6 went to Baysgarth school this morning for a cross country event. The children raced in separate boys and girls 3/4 and 5/6 races before girls and boys went head-to-head in two optional races. The weather was kind and the ground wasn't too muddy and we enjoyed watching some amazing performances of effort and determination.

• Conker Competition Final 2023

  Fri 20 Oct 2023

  On the last day before the October half term holiday, we held our annual conker competition final. Children from across key stage 2 have been battling it out for a place in the final 16, and this afternoon we watched the tense final rounds until we were finally left with our winner. Well done to all the finalists for their skill and fair play.

   

  The conker competition is a Bowmandale school tradition dating back to the first year our school opened - 1978. The trophy records the names of all the winners, including one of our staff who won it when she was a pupil here! 

  

• World Mental Health Day

  Wed 11 Oct 2023 Nick Towers

  For World Mental Health Day on Tuesday, everyone in the school wore something yellow to show their support and raise awareness about people suffering from mental health problems. Each class also did some work about mental health and looked at different kinds of problems people can suffer from including anxiety, depression and anger.
