KS2 SATS

We are so proud of our Year 6 children for the way they tackled their SATS this week.  All of the staff were blown away by their resilience and confidence as they went into these tests; they really did themselves proud.  The results will be released early July and we will communicate these with you as soon as we have them.

Early Years Trip to Hesketh Farm 

This week Nursery and Reception visited Hesketh Farm. The children all had a great time and used their knowledge of the farm to explore all the animals and the importance of farm life. The children had the opportunity to collect eggs, hold chicks, feed a calf, have a tractor ride around the farm and brush guinea pigs!

Reception Stay & Play 

In Reception this week, we had a busy week! We also had a Stay & Play for parents/carers. We had lots of adults join us to celebrate all our learning of minibeasts this half-term. It was so nice to see the adults and children working together to create some clay minibeasts, ladybird and bee paintings and some pastel butterflies! We would love to see everyone join us next time. 

BIG Family Breakfast

Thank you to everyone who came to our BIG Family Breakfast, we loved having so many of you in!  I'm sure you'll agree that the sandwiches, pastries and cereals were delicious.  Thank you to all of our staff who made it run so smoothly.  We will let you know the date for the next one as soon as we can.  Congratulations to our hamper winners - enjoy the treats!

Attendance Matters

Our Whole School Attendance was low this week at 88.3% which is below the Government target of 96%.  We did, however, have one class with 100% attendance - our fabulous Year 6s!  They won a non-uniform day and an extra playtime - well done!

And finally...

Mrs Shirra is spending time with friends and family, Mr Watson is visiting Newcastle, Ms Pascoe is going to the Otley Show and Mrs Wierzbianski is going out for afternoon tea with Mrs Wierzbianski!  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a brilliant time.  We will see you bright and early next week for our final week of this half term where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
