Art with Mr Dean
admin on: Class 6
Yesterday, Mr Dean came from Holmfirth High - along with 7 year 10 students - to teach a full day of printing.
The printing was based around cats and evolved as the day progressed.
It was a superb day, all enjoyed - thanks Mr Dean!

We will be welcoming Mr Dean this Thursday (27th June), along with some of his year 10 artists.
Together they will be teaching us art/printing.
There is EVERY possibility that the children will get ink on their clothes, so please send them in either a) old clothes that you won't be worried about getting ink on, or b) an old shirt to wear over their clothes.
Thanks - Mr C
Baking
admin on: Class 6
Our project for next week - w/c 1/7 - will be an enterprise cake baking project.
We will be planning at the beginning of the week and baking on Thursday 4th July, during the afternoon.
I'd like to invite as many of you in as possible to help us with this.
The cakes will be sold on our Year 6 stall at the Summer Fair and the group who make the most money will win the project for that week.
Transition Day
admin on: Class 6
Tuesday 2nd July is the transition day for all children.
On this day, you will need to make arrangements for your child to get to and from high school. If your child is going to Holmfirth High, most children seemed to meet outside Netherthong Primary and walk together.
The children are to wear their normal school uniform, but will also need to wear trainers for sporting events during the day.
They need to be at high school for 8:45am start and the day will end at 3:25pm. High school have advised they should take £3.50 for lunch.
I will be letting them know their forms before they leave here on Monday the 1st.
Carnegie Book Club
admin on: Class 6
10 children from year 6 were challenged with the task of reading all eight books that were finalists for this year's Carnegie award, within the last couple of months. Mrs Johnson and I joined them in this and yesterday we all went to Holmfirth High School to an event run by Read bookshop.
At the event we took part in workshops to discuss the books with other schools and then we voted on our own personal favourites, before the actual winner was announced.
The book that won the Carnegie prize was 'The Poet X' by Elizabeth Acevedo, which was also the winning book at our event.
All eight books are now available to read for any of the year 6 children to read, but parents should be aware that some have more adult content and are aimed at KS3 level children. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
