In November our Year 4 Times Table Team went to Phoenix Primary School to compete against five other schools in the Care Foundation Trust. The teams had to complete fast times tables challenges, colouring-by-times-tables questions and using the related division facts in a timed contest too. The competition was close and came down to a tie-breaker round where the children had to use a spiral of times table questions to win. After all that, our amazing team won! This week the trophy arrived and the team were able to celebrate properly in front of the whole school! Well done to you all, you represented...

Year 1 and 2 have been learning about the 'Great Fire of London' in their Topic lessons. They built their own houses and then 'safely' watched to see how quickly they burnt down. 

The Friends of Goat Lees organised a pantomime for the children of the school to watch - what a lovely way to start our Christmas festivities!

Our Rota Kids after school club organised some fundraising events across the school. We came to school dressed either in spotty clothes or in yellow - just like Pudsey! We held a cake sale at the end of the day and made and sold Pudsey keyrings. During the day, we ran a 'Guess the teacher's baby photo' as well as a Children in Need quiz. Our homework task was to create Pudsey out of anything we could find at home - have a look at the winning entries. We all had lots of fun and raised an amazing £370! Well done Goat Lees! ...
