A wonderful day celebrating our lovely Mrs Townend. 24 years of dedication to our school- thank you from all the staff and the families who you’ve served for generations 🩷
Sometimes being active is about going on a hunt to find your maths answers or even tapping rhythms on a desk with a pool noodle! At Green Lane we try to teach children different ways of being healthy and active.
We celebrated the

Thanks for your help everyone! ❤️
Reception went on their first visit to

After all the hard work in the summer, I can't tell you how great it is to see our Nursery children back today in a brand new classroom. It feels wonderful to have them with us in the heart of the school and not in a separate building.
This afternoon the children had a go at making some transient art on the playground.
They gathered as many materials as the could find on the field, and made some amazing work!
Could you have a go at making some in your garden at home?
Exciting times at Green Lane!
Year 3 had their first ever VR experience today. The Trust has invested in a
@ClassVR
set for the schools, and we're lucky enough to be getting the first go!
This morning 3ZA have been exploring the Tanzanian Rainforest!
Our Yr6 Bubbles have written their own 'Imagine' poems as part of refugee week. They looked at other poetry and songs as inspiration. The children have thought about the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees

Mr Harrison and Miss Baxendale have had a fabulous group of new recruits doing our job for Takeover Day! They carried out a learning walk, helped write the school vision and gave us ideas for the School Development Plan. They also had a sneaky tour of the ducts and sports hall!
🌨️ Our teachers are making the most the snow day with their families. 🌨️
Mr Moore's dog is loving it! Mrs Townend has been out feeding the birds. Mr Morris has made a whole igloo with his children!!!
What are our families up to? We'd love to see what fun you've been having!
We are feeling extremely proud of our Year Six pupils who have just finished their SATs week. They have been calm and confident all week and we have no doubt that each and everyone of them has done their very best. Well done to everyone.
🎬 BBC Look North have joined us today to chat about Green Lane’s continuing commitment to serving nutritious school meals. Green Lane was the first school to serve school meals; our wonderful history continues to inspire us.

Runway Park exploring aeroplanes as part of our history curriculum. A huge Emirate Airbus passed by whilst we were enjoying our lunch…. Wow
A privilege today to celebrate GL's history. I met a gentleman, who came with his son, he was a caretaker in the 1970s and remembered Mr Wheatley, when there was a swimming pool & having Hungarian community events in the hall. He liked our Mini Museum & Orchard House.

Y5 went to meet the wonderful members of the African and African Caribbean Well Being Cafe, Bradford. A lot of the elderly ladies and gentlemen were ex-Green Lane pupils and spotted themselves and their families in our old photos.Just wonderful!

Their first time performing, and to over 600 people!
They were brilliant!! 🎶
Here at Green Lane we have taken lots of opportunities to keep fit over the past few months. Here is Mrs Arnold leading the daily mile and also getting the children cycling. What exercise have you been doing whilst at home? Look out for our Sock Olympics pack on the website soon!
This visit had to be postponed for this class two years running due to covid restrictions. So glad we were finally able to make it and share such a fantastic experience.

What a fantastic debate, lots of great arguments both for and against and brilliant use of oracy skills- super proud moment. 😁👍🏻
