  • City of Culture 2025 - Opening Day

    Published 28/02/25

    We are the City of Culture 2025 🎊 Today we held an opening day to introduce the exciting plans we have for the year ahead! 

    To kick off, we had lots going on around school: 

     ✨ The Sound of Bradford - this was an opportunity to dive into the vibrant sounds from Bradford! From rock and folk, to Bhangra and baseline - pupils made choices, played along and commented on their favourite songs 

     ✨The Opening Ceremony - we recreated the RISE opening ceremony in our Immersive suite, giving our pupils the opportunity to experience what it felt like to be there! 

     ✨Salt Dough Bradford - we unleashed our creativity and brought famous Bradford landmarks to life using salt dough! From the Alhambra Theatre to Salts Mills! 

     ✨Special Assemblies - during our assemblies we learnt about what this all means, what we might see and do, and how we might feel! 

     ✨ Community Art - we all worked on small pieces of art, to add together to make a special piece, with everyone taking part! Some of us explored the uses of wool, others looked at Bradford Buildings, and some of us even drew the people who make Bradford! 

     We have developed a plan so that all pupils have the opportunity to learn about, and experience, 5 main Bradford themed topics through the year! (More info to follow soon!) 

     ⭐️ We’re from Bradford and we’re proud! ⭐

  • Stunning Start

    Published 04/02/25

    Our Stunning Start was made up of lots of different activities set out to get us excited about our topics this term and to help our staff understand what we already know and our next steps! 

    Our topics this term are: 

    ✨ EYFS - In the Garden: What can you find in a garden in Bradford? 

     🐌 Lower Primary - Minibeasts: Which minibeasts live in Bradford? 

     🐻 Upper Primary - Habitats: Why do animals like to live in Bradford? 

     

    In the hall we were developing our Drama skills by taking an adventure through the garden! We started off as a small seed, then grew into beautiful flowers using fabric and props. We turned into caterpillars and wriggly worms across the hall floor! 

    In our Immersive Suite we joined The Ugly Bug Ball, exploring our dance and movement skills as lots of different minibeasts! 

    Our sensory room took us on a journey to China to explore how some people celebrate Chinese New Year. We learnt about traditions such as giving others money in red envelopes and eating tangerines for good luck.

    In our classrooms we designed pebbles to create our own Special Garden in school, a collaborative piece representing all of our pupils!
