Our Lane End Carnival
During October we celebrated black history month by learning about the 75th anniversary of the Windrush. In 1948 people arrived from the West Indies to help rebuild Britain after the Second World War. They brought their hopes and their cultures with them. Over the years many other people have moved to Leeds from all around the world. Lane End is a fabulous example of how different cultures can enrich our society, our friendships and our school.
On Thursday 26th October 2023 children, families and staff held a carnival to celebrate how proud we all are of our community.
Lane End's Got Talent!!!
It all started with a letter home before we broke up for the Christmas holidays....
As you know, the children at Lane End are brimming with skill and talent! We have 'Talent Awards' for all our curriculum subject – where we recognise and celebrate the successes with our amazing artists, super scientists and daring designers! But we also know that pupils at Lane End all have many, many other skills and talents that we don’t often get to see in lesson times.
So, inspired by an idea suggested by Abi Foster in Year 4, we decided to ask them to share some of their other talents with us – in a ‘Lane End’s Got Talent’ show!
"So, whether you have magnificent magic skills, can sing or rap like a pop star, have dance moves that compare to those seen in the movies, tell jolly can jokes that make all your family giggle, can play a musical instrument like a maestro…. or whatever your talent might be… this is the opportunity for you!"
How did the pupils enter ...
Pupils were encouraged to send in a video of their talent over the Christmas holidays....
Any pupils who could not be filmed at home were filmed in school in January.
In total 73 pupils took part, some of them as part of a group entry!
The judging.....
Round 1 - The 'Talent Committee' had a very difficult job with so many fantastic and varied entries. After much deliberation they narrowed it down to the top 16.
Round 2 - The Final 16 entries were sent out to each class. The 16 videos were watched by each class and they had to decide on their favourite 5 and score points in "Eurovision style". Democracy in action!
Round 3 - The scores and totals were checked and double checked by an independent adjudicatory and then whittled down to a Final 10.
The Live Final
There was much excitement and enthusiasm as the Live Final began on Friday 4th February. The final 10 had many varied and wonderful skills and talents.
The top 10 acts were:
Joshua and Jeremiah- Drums and accordion
Ivy- Video of Tap dancing
Awais- Dancing
Layla-Grace- Video of Tap dancing
Katie- Ballet
Ziah- Basketball skills
Christabelle- Dancing
Havisha- Traditional song
Sudais- Bottle flipping
Aubree, Safa, Maja, Kaiya- Group dance
All 10 acts performed their talent and everyone eagerly awaited the results
After some deliberation within the 'Talent Committee' the final 3 were decided……
Runner up Christabelle for her amazing choregraphed dancing to Dance Monkey.
Runner up Joshua and Jeremiah for their skills on the drums and accordion.
The winner was Awais, for his dancing to Savage Love. He showed such passion and confidence in the final when he performed in front of the finalists, judging committee and all the school watching on live stream.
Well done to all the pupils who entered and if one thing is clear. Lane End really does have Talent!!!
Match Report
On Tuesday 25 November 2018 a team of children from Lane End played a football match against St Lukes. The kick off was at 3:30. Some children started off the game, after five minute Mr Hawksworth started changing people around. Just then St Lukes scored a goal so Lane End had to step it up. When it was half time we came up with a plan. So after half time was done, Lane End came out and scored a goal. The game carried on with St Lukes scoring 5 goals and Lane End scoring 2 goals. It was fun after all.
