Emley First School

A message from all the Staff...WE MISS YOU! Stay safe and we will see you all soon.

PCAN is an independent, parent-led forum for parents and carers of children/young people ( 0-25yrs) with additional needs in Kirklees. It’s a voluntary organisation run by Trustees and a small team of paid staff who are parents of children with additional needs, cuppa and chats.

The carrot fun continues in Amethyst 🥕💜. Today was about using observational skills alongside a new water colour technique to create some beautiful pieces of art . #homegrown #growyourown #youngartist #watercolours #creative #proudteacher

Today was all about carrots 🥕 last summer we planted and nurtured the seeds and today Amethyst class harvested, cleaned, peeled, cooked and ate them! They were delicious 🥕 and we still have lots left for snack on Monday! #growyourown #healthyschool #carrots #homegrown #fresh

Can you guess what we will be harvesting this term?? #homegrown #ecoschools

Eva and her friend Anya have been fund raising for Emley First School and Highburton First. They planned, baked for and ran a cake stall called 'Cafe on the Lane'. Support was amazing, they raised an incredible £180! Plus they sold out and had to shut earlier than planned!

Some of our staff dressed up for World book day 2021.

We’re thrilled to launch the #VirtualSchoolLibrary in partnership with @Literacy_Trust, which will offer free books and audiobooks to pupils as they learn from home. 📚 This week, you can read @FansofJWilson's The Story of Tracy Beaker. Visit library.thenational.academy 🙌

We’ve done it! Well done everyone who has worked so hard. One week of online learning and snow to contend with too! A few little hiccups along the way, but you didn’t let that stop you! Have a lovely safe weekend in the snow, see you all on Monday. Send your snowy pictures in !

Even the snow can’t stop us! ⛄️🌨❄️Live lessons and learning continue on a snow day!! Well done to all of you who have managed to come and join us online today for the first time ! Fingers crossed your teachers let you have some time to play in the snow!!

@EmleyFirst Charlie really enjoyed today. It was also nice for him to see his friends too, albeit through a screen. Well done 😊

Another lovely comment from a parent - Thank you we really do appreciate it.   ‘Just wanted to say a big well done for the first day of live learning yesterday! Great job everyone and much appreciated.’

We will never tire of hearing things like this ☺️ ‘Thank you for today - I know it must be incredibly difficult trying to teach online as well as in class but it went so well! ‘.
