Oh yes we did! A fantastic day of magic-carpet-riding-pantomime fun for everyone in school yesterday thanks to a visit from Stage-ed 🧞‍♂️🎭

One more activity then time to say goodbye to these hills, and hello to our families! Everyone had a brilliant sleep and raring to go for our final activity. We are expected back for the end of school. We will text out if there are any delays.

We’ve slept well, we’re up and we’re fuelling for the day! Trees, rocks, hills… here we come!

The sun set on a day filled with new experiences, and pushing themselves further than they first thought they could. Super proud of our Y6 and how they’ve settled. All fast asleep now, speaking of which… 🥱😴

Time to say goodbye to our Y6 pupils with our leavers events today 🥲 We’re sad to see to you go, but proud of all you have achieved, and excited for what lies ahead #Y6Leavers #classof2021

Ahead of their Y6/7 transition, we have had Rachel from The Shine Project helping to develop self-esteem and confidence so that the change can be faced with feelings of positivity and excitement! 💫

Keeping safe and well: Y4, 5 and 6 have been learning how to keep bacteria and viruses at bay by using good hygiene habits. We also learned about vaccines and their uses. Thank you SchoolWellbeing 🧼🚿🔬🩺😊

Goodbye to our Y6, it’s not the year we wanted with you but we’re so glad we get to see you today. Your High Schools are lucky to be getting you. Be kind and be yourselves 💫

Lovely to see so many parents and children at our after school transition meetings - we look forward to seeing you all back, safe and well, in September!

Does dodging the showers count as a sport?! ☔️
Super effort from all our children in school, and those taking part at home, in this year’s virtual sports day as part of Sport Week! Thanks to all involved in organising the events #yorkshiresportfoundation #virtualsportsday2020

Thank you Aldi Stores UK for the fantastic prize - a set of t-shirts that are being given as prizes during sports week!🏅
We are also busy using our equipment that we received from our collection of Aldi vouchers! Thanks to our families for sending those in #getseteatfresh #olympicday

Some of our bubbles of children have been creating some bright, mood-lifting items for one of our Key Worker parents to take to the hospital where she works. We hope they brighten up the days of those who see them 🌈 💫

There's a new 24 hour mental health helpline for residents in Leeds and neighbouring regions.

Anyone aged 18 or over registered with a Leeds GP can call the helpline for support on 0800 183 0558📞

Anyone who calls who is under 18 will be signposted to relevant services.

And to our children and families not yet able to return, it’s super seeing all the lovely things you’ve been doing on seesaw, and having some of your learning shared back. We also love hearing from you during our phone calls. You are still missed and on our minds every day🌈

So proud of our Team Grange Farm Superstars back in school, all settled in their new bubbles, and how they have adapted to the changes so superbly. Thank to you parents and carers for your support and co-operation with our new routines 🙂
