Welcome to Goat Lees Primary School

Before the children in Reception class started school, the children in Year 6 wrote to their buddy to tell them a bit about themselves. Now they have settled into school life, we went for a walk together to Sandyacres. It was a bit wet but it didn't dampen our spirits - we loved being with our buddies!

Bug Hotel Competiton Look at some of our fabulous entries for the design a unique Bug Hotel competition. We think they are all AMAZING and can't believe the hard work that has gone into these at home. The competition is being run by McArthurGlen. The winning design will be built by the Repair Cafe using reusable materials and displayed in the Designer Outlet Centre. We couldn't decide who should win from our school, so we've left it up to Claire Norman, Senior Climate Action Officer at Ashfrod Borough Council. 

We supported #Hello Yellow in support of World Mental Health Day. Children could choose to wear a little (or a lot!) of yellow to raise money for Young Minds. We raised an incredible £205 - so a BIG thank you to everyone who donated dome money. Throughout the day, we looked at different books and talked about sharing our worries: we decided that no worry is a 'silly' worry. After lunch, we had our mindfulness afternoon where the chidlren learnt some breathing exercises, made worry dolls and lavender bags. Remember to keep talking! ...

We loved our drama workshops with Ian from KIC theatre! Each class had an hour long session which was based on our focus book for Term 1. This will now lead into our writing – we can’t wait to see what the children produce.
