What a fabulous day we had at Sports Day. The calculations have now been completed and the winners of the day were the Red Team. Well done Red Team.

We have been very lucky to have three local business's volunteer their help, donate wood stain and also give a good discount for paint and brushes. Maddens Swinnow Road were very kind and donated lots of furniture stain. They also gave us a good discount for the brushes and pots we needed. Farmac Roker Lane were very generous and gave us a good discount for the extra tubs of stain we needed. Britvic Swinnow Road were very kind and sent us 20 fantastic volunteers. They spent the day at school painting the outside furniture and fences. We at Stanningley Primary would like to a say MASSIVE THANK YOU to you all for your generosity. It looks Fabulous! .

We have made changes to our lunchtime routine. We all now sit in our table families to have a quiet chat before lunch. Then our family all go together to collect their lunches. We now have little plates instead of little trays. When we have all finished eating our first course then we have our puddings together. Lots of children enjoy this experience and have said; ' I get to meet new friends.' 'We sit next to older children I know.' 'I like it, the older child will help me.' 'I like to look after the little children'. 'We all get to eat our ice cream at the same time. ' 'We can talk to people.'
