We had a spring in our step last term!
Spring term was certainly a busy one as there was definitely a lot going on in Team TPA. We have loved our learning and the children have enjoyed the many opportunities up for grabs!
In January Mrs Oldfield’s Young Voices choir did a fabulous job of singing their hearts out at Young Voices in Sheffield. It was a fabulous night and the families who joined us shared that they had a wonderful time too.
We also had lots of fun at our TPAC Valentines Disco which our Parents Teacher and Family Association brilliantly organised. The children loved being with their friends and this helped raised funds for school too.
Another highlight was welcoming the Parents into school for Team Neptune’s assembly on My Hidden Chimp. It was impressive to hear the children talk about their learning over the last half term in their sessions with Mr Metcalfe. They then did it all over again for the whole school!
We have certainly valued the opportunity to get out and about in our local community this term and this included visits to the archeological dig for Teams Saturn and Neptune where we became archeologists for the day. Team Neptune also enjoyed a fabulous art project working alongside the artist Eduard Sacrest who helped the children create their very own reading themed mural which is on display at Tadcaster library. The children from Year 1 to Year 4 also spent an afternoon planting trees in the local park – making a difference to our local community.
Team Venus loved their visit from Quinn who brought his fabulous Rolls Royce to show the children what cars looked like in the past and how they had changed. The children asked some excellent questions. They also had a wonderful visit from Farmer Carl too who brought along a lamb and a hen for the children to see.
The end of Spring term was wrapped up with a fantastic Design an Easter Egg competition which the children got stuck into. There was some fabulous designs which won lovely Easter eggs provided by TPAC.
