The Festival of Light
Reception have enjoyed learning all about Diwali – the Hindu Festival of Light which took place on Saturday the 14th November. They learnt about how people celebrate Diwali and enjoyed trying on some traditional clothing, creating Rangoli patterns, Mendhi hand patterns and making our own diya lights.
National Nursery Rhyme Week
Nursery have enjoyed taking part in National Nursery Rhyme Week this week, they have explored a different rhyme each day and enjoyed taking part in some lovely follow-up activities related to each one. Can you guess which ones we learnt?
Paper crafting
Skiddaw class have been learning 3D paper crafting skills and have had great fun creating these firework inspired pieces.
Children In Need 2020
Children in Need this year has been a little different but rest assured we have had lots of fun and raised an amazing £166.00! All week, classes have been dipping into the BBC Five to Thrive with Joe Wicks learning about the importance of keeping connected to our family and friends, taking notice of our surroundings, keeping active and being curious and the benefits of giving and kindness. Some also tuned in to see Joe Wicks complete his amazing 24 hours of PE in a live lesson on Friday morning.
Not only have we enjoyed coming to school in comfy clothes, we have all had great fun playing Children In Need Bingo! Thank you Mrs Coker for organising such lovely prizes.

Boxes of Hope
Thank you to everyone who has created a beautiful box of gifts that have already started their journey to making one child’s Christmas. A total of 28 boxes were collected yesterday. Thank you Levens!
We will Remember Them
On the 11th November we came together in our playground to remember all those who have given their lives so that we can live in peace and enjoy our freedom.
Every pupil in school made a poppy out of recycled materials found at home. They were brought to our very special outdoor service where members of year 6 read out the names of the fallen from Levens village and recited ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae.
At 11am, we marked two minutes of silence to remember and reflect.
Today each child brought their poppy to our entrance hall where they attached it to our beautiful rustic cross, kindly made by one of our very talented parents.
A Greek Banquet
To celebrate achieving 1000 class points since the beginning of term and the end of our geographical study of Greece, year 5 and 6 enjoyed a delicious banquet. We had lots to try including: dolmades, feta cheese, hummus, Greek yoghurt with honey, tzatziki and pitta bread. Most were even brave enough to try some octopus too!
Live link to Westminster
Our Year five and six pupils all enjoyed a live link to the Houses of Parliament as part of their learning during UK Parliament Week.
We learnt all about the House of Commons and the House of Lords, how laws are made, the role of Mr Speaker, elections, voting and much much more!
Scafell Class were quite eager to pass a bill to reduce the school week to 4 days, however Baroness Farraday and Lord Dean, who sit in the House of Lords, opposed this motion.
UK Parliament Week at Levens
This week it is UK Parliament Week and across school we have been learning about democracy and how our country is ruled and run. You might just be able to read the questions and answers on Skiddaw’s display but can you link them up correctly?
Years 2,3 and 4 have also been learning about incredible people who have stood up for what they believed in and helped to make their country a fairer place for all. Rosa Parks’ courage and dignity, that sparked the movement that ended segregation in the USA, and Emmeline Pankhurst, who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s voting rights, are among those heroes we have learnt about who showed such strength and bravery that is still so relevant today.
We have also voted in our own elections for School Council this week. Drum rolls preceded the announcement of each successful year group representative during today’s Celebration Assembly. Well done to all who put themselves up for nomination and made such thoughtful speeches about their ideas. We have experienced Democracy in Action!
