Visit to the Lake District

May 2009

A group of Year 5 and 6 pupils went on their residential trip to the Lake District, calling at Skipton Castle on the way.
They enjoyed Geo-Caching at Brockholes Centre.

The weather was brilliant and the trippers had a game of cricket in Hawkshead!

On the way home, they visited Morecambe - fresh air a-plenty!

Cricket Success ...

... on a bright sunny day!

Some of our Junior boys went to Cliff School in Wakefield for a game of cricket. They enjoyed a good game with some notable play from both schools.

Queenswood won the game - but well done to all!

The game was played in Wakefield.

The umpire gave some expert advice in explaining his decision!

A good time was had by all - especially with a delicious snack afterwards provided by the hosts!

Supporting the NSPCC

Queenswood's Exceptional Fundraising Success!

This term we took part in a sponsored spell challenge in aid of the NSPCC. Sarah Tarpey from the NSPCC came to talk to us about the work of the charity and introduce the spelling challenge.

Our children took part in this challenge and raised the largest amount of money for the charity this term per head of school population!

Sarah came back to school to say a big "thank you!" As you can see from the cheque, she received £589.60 on the day and this total was increased to £630 by the end of the week! Little gifts were presented to the children for taking part in the challenge.

Sarah sent a beautiful letter to the school afterwards thanking "the Queenswood School family" for the lovely time she spent with us and the fantastic generosity of parents and supporters!
