It’s Bearly Believable…
But yes, Norton Infant School has it’s very own Bear Cub – Crewso!
A short while ago, I launched a competition to design a limb or part of a large fibre glass bear cub in aid of raising funds for Leeds Children’s Hospital, who are currently supporting one of our families. Below is Bruce, who has found the very first bear on the Leeds Bear Hunt Trail, at Leeds Hospital whilst receiving his treatment.
We have received some beautiful, thoughtful and intricate entries for the competition from most year groups across the campus and I am very proud to announce the artists taking part in the design and decoration of our very own bear cub are…. Ava from 6SO, Evelyn from 4TE, James from 3LG, Olivia in Class 4, Isla in Class 2, Alarna in Class 1 and Lily-Mai in Nursery. As the project forms part of a legacy from our 2022 Foundation Stages Autumn Expedition of “How do we care for the bears?” Every child in the Foundation Stage and Nursery will be contributing their hand print to the final design also.
The artwork on the bear has commenced and each child has been carefully following their designs to produce an outstanding piece of art, which will be displayed in Leeds City Centre over the summer. Everyone is invited to visit our bear and take part in the Leeds Bear Hunt and feel proud that we have contributed to this fantastic event in aid of such a worthy cause. These children are activists making a difference to their community and we are incredibly proud of them. With teamwork and collaboration anything is possible! Here is a sneak peak of what has been happening….
Year One Celebration of Learning
What a brilliant celebration of learning this morning! The children presented Ready, Steady,Grow! How can I be the Healthiest Version of Me?
They sang songs, recalled facts and shared their expedition books with their adults.
Thank you to all the adults who came and shared the children’s learning. We are excited to share the final product with you after Easter.

Looking out for signs of Spring…..there is so much to see in and around our school grounds.
Red Nose Day Competition 🔴
We have been so impressed with the t-shirt designs around school today. Below are the winners from the different classes, voted for by the children. Our overall winner, picked by Mrs Ponsonby is . . . Brooke!
We will make sure all of our winners get their prizes on Monday morning – well done everyone!
Thank you to everyone who wore red, designed a shirt or made a contribution to Comic Relief.

Healthy muffins!!
We have spent time researching healthy recipes to get ideas for our baking day. We were really surprised by some of the ingredients that we could use.
We decided to make a healthy chocolate muffin using ingredients such as Greek yoghurt, apple sauce and cinnamon! We were really surprised by how delicious they were.
World Book Day Fun in Class 3
Class 3 mathematicians
In maths lessons we have been working collaboratively through a series of addition and subtraction number problems. We did a great job of using different strategies to work out the answers to some tricky questions.
We have also enjoyed exploring capacity and volume so we are now ready to use these skills in our baking next week.
Well done Class 3…..you have all worked really hard this week!
Exploring Outdoors
In Crew this week we have enjoyed spending time outdoors making connections between ourselves and the great outdoors. We have spent time talking about ourselves and people that are important to us before spending some quality time together outside, enjoying being in the fresh air with the people that are important to us in school. It made us feel really happy when we spotted some of the first signs of spring time in our woods.
