KS1 Trip

27th June 2023Stuart Longley

You may be aware from media coverage that the NEU has declared more national strike action which will take place on Wednesday 5th. As a result, the following changes will be necessary relating to the school trips for Key Stage One children.

Tuesday 4th July – ALL Year 1 children will be visiting Sandall Beat Woods.

Wednesday 5th July – ALL Year 2 children will be visiting Sandall Beat Woods.

We will be leaving school at 9 am and aim to be back at school by the end of the day. Children will need to order a school packed lunch or bring one from home.  It is essential that all children bring a water bottle with them.

We will be spending most of the day outside, so children will need to wear appropriate and comfortable clothing (wellies, trainers, jumpers, joggers, t-shirt, shorts, sun hat, suncream and water bottle).

Please can we ask that any outstanding payments and consents are completed on the Parentpay platform.

Thank you once again for your support

Human or Physical?

20th June 2023Mr Pickering

Year 2 have been learning about the difference between human and physical features in Geography. We used our knowledge to play a sorting game where we had to identify different examples of each category. After we had got really confident, we even turned it into a race. Who could sort all of the examples correctly in the fastest time. George M managed all 15 in just 25 seconds! Amazing skills!

We have recently signed up to the ‘Recycle to Read’ initiative. This helps the planet and helps our school turn your batteries, which no longer work, into books for school! We are looking for the following batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V) to be brought into school and placed in the collection point at the school office. Please ensure the contact points have been taped over and all batteries are brought in a plastic bag. If we fill our box and send it back, we have the chance to win £50 in book tokens for school. Each time you drop a battery off, your child can follow the link (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhcVMztGotW4k4mKQRrB7Z5idx3QzFQOsdlA3rxvz2E7816Q/viewform) to be in with a chance to win their own prize! The competition is open until 14th July. Thank you for your support!
