  5. Our logo • Our school logo is a snowy owl • The owl is a symbol used a lot in Leeds (but no one seems to know why!) • We have an owl mascot in school • Each week he rewards the class with the best attendance • The reward is an extra playtime!

  6. Our school day • School opens at 9am and closes at 3.30pm • Lunch break 12.00-1.00pm • Four teaching sessions • Two break-times (morning and afternoon)

  7. We ring the bell at 8.55 • We line up in our classes • Our teachers come and collect us • We put our coats in the cloakroom • We put our lunchboxes on the trolley • We go to our classes and do a ‘settling in’ task

  8. First session • After registration we go into the hall for a 30 minute assembly • Our headteacher talks to us about important matters • We go back to class and work for an hour • We usually start the day with Maths
