On Friday 1st December, every child in school proudly took part in our festive Elf Run. Each pupil kindly donated £2, with all proceeds going directly to Barnsley Hospice to support the incredible work they do in our community. The event created a wonderful atmosphere across the school, with both children and staff getting involved and enjoying the chance to wear their cheerful Elf hats. It was a fun and lively way to come together, get active, and raise money for a fantastic cause.
The children at Lift Shafton have taken part in the community 'Scarecrow Competition'. Children voted for us to make a 'Gingerbread Man Scarecrow'. Children from every class helped to make and build the Gingerbread Man and he is now on display outside the school office for everyone to enjoy. The Scarecrow Festival was judged on Saturday 25th November and we won 2nd Prize which was a lovely hamper of sweets. Every child in school recieved a treat from the hamper we won. Watch the video below of the children making the 'Gingerbread Man Scarecrow'.
On Thursday 9th November we held our annual Remembrance Assembly. Every class produced some work around the meaning of Remembrance and why Remembrance day is held every year and showcased it in the assembly. We invited parents and carers to come to the assembly and we had a great turn out of support. Below you can see a video of the different work the children showed throughout the assembly.




On Wednesday 18th October the children performed at our Harvest Festival. Parents and Carers were invited to the Harvest Festival assemblies. This year KS1 and KS2 held two separate Harvest Festivals. Throughout the weeks running up to the Harvest Festival children across school brought in food donations which were collected and donated to Cudworth Food Bank. Every class produced some work about the Harvest Festival and showcased it during the assembly. Below you can see a video of the work the children have produced around Harvest Festival.
We had some lovely feedback from the parents and carers who came to our assemblies.
