We are looking forward to seeing all our families for a Festive Service at St. Mary the Less in Allerton Bywater at 9.30am on Tuesday 18th December.
This service will be our last Christmas Service at church with Rev'd Jean as she will be retiring in January. Tea, coffee and mince pies will be available in the school hall for all parents who are able to help us walk the children to church.
If I don't get to see you before Christmas I would like to wish you all an enjoyable Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Thank you for your continued support in helping me to move the school towards outstanding!

Leeds Town Hall Choir
What an amazing evening we had last night at the Leeds Town Hall, Our school choir along with 47 other schools sounded fantastic. Thank you to all the parents who came to support the children I am sure you were very proud of them (we were).
A huge thank you to Mrs Fox who has trained the singers over the past few weeks. They have learnt so much in such a short amount of time. Also thank you to Miss McVeigh who has also supported the choir and given up her time as Mrs Fox has to ensure the children could attend the rehearsals and dress rehearsal.

More photographs for you from Residential
We have just arrived back at the Priory after the day walk. Some of the children were reluctant to walk any distance at all when we set out this morning. However when we successfully climbed Calver Hill, 480m high, the children experienced a real sense of achievement and this encouraged them to persevere with the afternoon river study and walk along the river swale.
We are so proud of them.
We are so proud of them.
The week has passed by very quickly indeed and the behaviour at the priory has been outstanding. The children have learnt many new skills that they can take back into the classroom. We look forward to seeing you all at 12pm tomorrow with your children. I am certain you will hardly recognise them they have changed so much.
Here are some more photos for you to enjoy...
Day Walk
We are setting out on our day walk and the children are very excited as they face an 8 miles cross country walk.
They were very tired last night but we had a nice evening at the ice cream parlour and the children are really coming together as a team. They are now very supportive of one another and understand that strengths are different in all of us!

News from the Residential!
Another fantastic day today.
The children worked hard during their activities and we finished the day with a long and very muddy night walk yesterday. Sorry everyone!
Charlie Wilshire was not happy with the mud (and cow pats) that she encountered in her new walking boots and exclaimed that it was the first time that she had ever been muddy.
We walked along the old Nun's path and steps in the dark and along to Marrick Village which consists of three houses!
We finished the day in the chapel by writing a reflective diary and as the evening drew to a close the children were looking very tired indeed.
Mrs Fox was on duty last night and the children were all fast asleep by 11.30pm and woke at 7.30am this morning.
This evening we will be visiting the Ice-Cream Parlour and the children are really looking forward to it.
Bailey, Gemma, Grace, Georgia and Charlie have all completed the zip wire and the leap of faith today - well done ladies!
Group 1 have not been able to canoe today as the wind was so strong however they were able to abseil down the bell tower and undertake survival skills including; shelter and fire making which they really enjoyed.
