Welcome to Goat Lees Primary School

Alpine Class went to visit Godinton House to learn all about the importance of bees. They looked amazing dressed in black and yellow and certainly buzzed about the gardens! The children made seed bombs which they will plant in school, when they are ready. We also learnt how bees help to pollinate so many fruits and vegetable which we love to eat. In the afternoon, the chidlren tried four different types of honey back in school and practised being bees! Thank you to Helen at Godinton House who led some fantastic activities for us.

Have a look at some of the photos from the bug house grand opening! Our winner attended with his three friends from his class, they had previously attended a 'bug house stuffing' event at the Singleton Environmental Centre on Wednesday 13th March, where we saw his up-scaled bug house for the first time. There was a cutting of the ribbon to open the bug houses and then lots of photos. Everyone was then taken to the Designer Outlet conference room where, after a short 'thank you' to all concerned, there was pizza for lunch - delicious!

Well done to Miss Chapman and Year 5 who won Disney's 'Ultimate School Trip' competition! They set sail in August, with their families, for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We can't wait to hear all about it September!

To assist with our writing of fairy tales, we had a lovely day dressing up as our favourite fairy tale characters.
