Welcome to Goat Lees Primary School

Angora class had a bin-credible afternoon with Jolene from County Style Recyling learning about litter.  We learned about the effects of litter on the environment and thought about what we can do to encourage others to reduce littering.  We then went litter hunt where we litter-ally found lots of rubbish hiding in bushes and fences around the school perimeter!  To raise awareness of littering we created our own posters to display around the school environment.

For our longer pieces of writing, we try to ensure a purpose for the children's writing. This might be for display, to share their work with other children and adults, or even to send their work to someone. This term, Year 6 have written and published their own story books based on the book 'Flood'  by Alvaro Villa. The children knew they would be sharing this story with the children in Year 4. It was lovely to see the Year 4 children so engrossed with their stories and Year 6 being very proud of their achievements. 

In Term 1, Billy Class went on their first school trip to Godinton House. They travelled on our school minibus which they thought was great fun. At Godinton House,  Helen showed us around the lovely dining room and the Great Hall. They also visited the gardens to see what was grown there - they were amazed by the size of some of the vegetables!

Billy Class had such a fun time during our French Day at school. They found out about the Eiffel Tower, learnt the colours of the rainbow (in French) and got to taste some pain au choocolat - yum! They also enjoyed their lunch of croque monsieur.
