One of the highlights of Laddsworth Grade Four pupils was their annual Taste Tour, which was held on Thursday 30 June 2019. This involved research of a country of their choice during Media lessons and then presenting a poster about their respective country. There were a number of activities planned such as traditional singing and dancing and various guest speakers for the actual day which proved to be a great success. The tasting of the various foods from around the world was the highlight of the day. The end result was lots of fun and laughter and learning in the process.

Laddsworth Primary School collected a record of 5953 Easter Eggs for Siyabonga over the last couple of weeks. Education Managers, Mrs Kanzler and Mrs Ballantine from Siyabonga, collected the eggs at Assembly on Monday 15 April 2019. Laddsworth pupils have been part of the Easter Eggs collection project for the last nine years. Laddsworth has had an overwhelming response and this is by far the most collected. It is wonderful to know that we will be making a small difference to the lives of many young children. Siyabonga will hand out these Easter eggs to under-privileged children in the communities, which they support.
