Year 1 had a fantastic day exploring Skipton Castle in the sunshine. All the groups listened really well to the tour guides and responded to questions using topic language to share their knowledge.

• Mathematician - Amellia, who sometimes finds Maths tricky, but this week has tried really hard to find halves and quarters.
• Star - Billy for excellent listening skills on our trip to Skipton Castle. He responded to the tour guide's questions really well!

This half term, a group of pupils in Year 1 have taken part in the Let Leeds Read project run by Leeds Beckett University.

The university kindly gifted every child in Year 1 with a goodie bag filled with two brilliant books - Not Now, Bernard by David McKee and The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright. The children were excited to receive these and couldn't wait to read them at home!
