Congratulations to Year 8 student, Isla, on her selection into the U13 Kirklees Netball Squad.
Well deserved Isla!
Today, our Year 2 students, alongside Head Students Chloe, Sophia, Joshua, and Saffron, laid poppies to mark HGS` respect for those who fought during WW1 and WW2.
The ceremony created conversations between our young children and members of the public, who shared their thoughts and experiences. It was a pleasure to visit and to highlight to our children the importance of respect.
On Wednesday, Year 5 children arrived in Victorian dress and did a fantastic job, stepping into character as Victorian children.
They practised handwriting, writing on slates, and used dip pens, dipping them into ink to produce calligraphy writing. They also completed Maths activities converting shillings, decorated pegs, and enjoyed some dancing in the afternoon.
U13 Netball v Wakefield Girls High School
A fantastic effort from our two Year 7 Netball teams.
This gave students the opportunity to experience game play against another school and apply what they have learnt over the last 6 weeks in netball.
Both teams played to a high standard and showed great resilience and determination throughout.
HGS U15 v U16B Woodhouse Grove
What a fantastic effort and great team work from every player! With only 7 players it meant that they had to maintain their fitness throughout.
The game was close within each quarter but finished as a draw 14-14 which reflected the game. Well done! Mrs Bouchier and Mrs Bezer are very proud.
