During the week beginning 25^th July, we held a whole school local history and geography week. As part of this, all children from Year 1 to Year 6 visited the National Coal Mining Museum near Wakefield. We had a superb day, visiting the pit ponies and pit baths, finding out what life was like for Victorian child miners and experiencing a fascinating underground tour in the company of a miner. Oh … and there was a great playground too!

A huge thank you to all those parents and grandparents who filled in our survey. We found it extremely interesting to discover what life was like when you were ten.

A huge thank you to the PTA for funding an evening to the Savoy Cinema in Worksop for the Snowy Owls. As you can see, we had a great time!

On Wednesday, all classes in KS2 were visited by Steve from Creative Learning. He taught us how to create algorithms to code little spherical robots called Spheros. We programmed the robots to react if thrown with a force greater than 3g, inputting instructions for them change colour, make animal noises and even wriggle around!

As you know, on the afternoon of Wednesday 20^th December, every child in Anston Greenlands Primary School will be involved in running a business in our fabulous Christmas Market. You are all welcome to come and join in the fun!

The Year 6 business, The North Café, will be held in the Snowy Owls classroom (outside the reception). We will be selling a variety of food and drinks such as: Pancakes with and without toppings, Tea, Coffee, biscuits, Speciality Hot Chocolate (with Marshmallows, sprinkles and cream) and Fizzy Water. Food and drinks will be sold at a really cheap price!

The money that we will raise will go to the charity Make a Wish Foundation; this exists for one reason – to grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.

We hope to see you at our North Café on Wednesday 20^th December in the Snowy Owls classroom.
