Menston has been invaded by Romans and Celts! Fear not, it is just Y3 enjoying their Roman and Celt Day at the end of their History unit. We have built aqueducts and created mosaics. Later, we will be making our own shields and then taking part in some Roman solider training!

On Wednesday, year 2 enjoyed a trip to Menston park to take part in a local gardening project in collaboration with Menston in Bloom. The class planted seedlings and wild flowers in the new flower beds within the park's gardens. 🌷

For Father’s Day, Art club made pictures for their dads. They stamped leaves and flowers in paint and made a meadow. Then they glued sticks to make a frame. They made cards too. We hope the dads liked them!

Y3 have enjoyed their final Wild Passport morning of the year. In the beautiful sunshine we have learnt how to wash and coil ropes to keep them in good condition. We also built some shelters using all the skills we have learnt throughout the year. 🌳

Year 3 & 4 braved the wind and gave it their all at Sports Day — teamwork, cheers, and unforgettable moments on the field! #SportsDay🏅

On Monday, Year 1 had a wonderful trip to Lotherton Hall. We learned more about Florence Nightingale from the very woman herself! We also did a fun penguin workshop in the Wildlife World, which linked nicely to our Animals topic in science.

Year 6 have arrived at Great Tower safely! Dorms checked into and activities underway. So far the weather is perfect too!

The leap of faith...
