Ledsham Church - Mother's Day Service

Huge thanks to Reverand Andy, Audrey and the church wardens for their preparation of All Saint's Church ready for today's Mother's Day Service service. The church looked amazing lit up with candles and the sun shining through the stain glass windows.
Huge thanks also to all the children and their families for your attendance today. The children from the school choir sang beautifully (all credit to Miss Smith's hard work back in school) and there were no major technical hitches! Thank you also to Filippa, Lola, Laila and Xavier for their readings. What a fitting way to start off Mother's Day!

Year 6 Elite Dance Festival

It was Y6s turn today to perform! After weeks of rehearsal our Y6 joined other troops of Y6 children at the Civic centre in Castleford to compete against other local schools at the Elite Sports Dance festival. The judges said our entry was very enegetic and included some very ambitious moves and that we came very close runners up to the festival winners Darrington Primary School. Well done Y6 and thank you to all the parents and familiy members who transported children.

A Woodwind Concert

Today, our Year 5 children treated everyone in school, and their families and friends to a woodwind recital. This included pieces by the whole orchestra and solos from each type of instrument, all note perfect!
Last September, all the children in Year 5 were invited to choose a woodwind instrument to learn. Some chose the clarinet, others the, bassoon, saxaphone, oboe or flute, and each week the children have had lessons and worked as an orchestra. It was lovely to listen to and witness how much the children have learnt. We look forward for their next concert!

 

Body percussion

Today, Gascoigne class created music using their bodies. After copying and learning a piece of body percussion music, the children worked in groups to compose their own piece of body percussion music based around the theme of journeys. All the groups then performed their compositions. It was very impresive to listen to and watch the children's interpretations. Well done Gascoinge, your critiquing of each other's performances were very respectful and supportive.

Y1 Multi-Skills Tournament at Brigshaw High Schol

Today, we took two teams to compete against teams of Y1 children from all 7 other Brigshaw Learning Partnership primary schools.

Mrs Sharp's and Matthew's menagerie

Thank you Ms Cheyne for arranging for Mrs Sharp and Matthew to visit with their collection of pets and animals. It was lovely to see both Mrs Sharp and Matthew again and see how their collection has grown! Ledston children certainly learnt a lot from you about animal care and thank you for your time answering all their questions. I wonder what animals you will have added to your collection next time you visit?

Day Spring Church

Today, we welcomed Anne and Mike from Day Spring Church, to lead our collective worship. Their theme was superheros and during our time together asked about our superheros and why they were important to us. Then Anne and Mike shared who their superhero is and explained if we thought who they were talking about was a superhero we may like, where and how we could go to find out more. Finally, it was he penalty shoot out as we reflected on what we had heard, and how this may influence our thoughts and actions.

Dance in a Day

Yesterday, some of our Upper Key Stage 2 children represented our school at Brigshaw's dance in a day festival. Dance leaders Kayleigh and Keira were amazing teachers working hard to both developed our children's skills and confidence. All our children were fantastic and learned to move on and off the beat and to sequence movements to the count of 4 and 8 and in canon. The children's presentation and showmanship was excellent with each child having opportunity to develop their personal skills and talents. Well done.
