Year 5 Poetry Workshop at CHCS
Year 5 were treated to a poetry workshop at Cardinal Hume Catholic School on Monday 8th June.
Led by the well-known children's poet, Christine Michaels, it gave the children the opportunity to explore the joys of different types of poetry. Following on from this workshop, the children are now working hard to create their own individual poems, as well as a joint effort poem by the whole class. Once the class poem is perfected, it will be performed at CHCS on June 25th in front of other schools from the cluster and parents. Details of this will follow.
We know we can rely on our Year 5 children to give it their best shot!

Eco Warriors visit to the Allotment
Yesterday, Thursday 19th March, Mrs McArthur and the eco warriors visited Mrs Heslop's allotment at Whinney Park. Mrs Heslop showed us around her allotment and explained to us all the different types of vegetables and plants that she grows. We all managed to do a bit of digging and planting of our own!
We will be visiting regularly over the summer months as we all know how beneficial growing our own produce is. Not only does it taste much better but it reduces our carbon footprint and growing our own is great fun at the same time!
Thankyou to Mrs Heslop for giving us this opportunity.
Certificates Galore!
Well done to all the children who have represented the school so well in so many different activities in the last couple of weeks!

Every class has visited the Shipley Art Gallery to continue to promote the 'Arts' within school. The children have learnt about pattern, chairs, clay modelling and looked at the art works in the Gallery itself. The children all enjoyed their visits and learnt a lot!
