Dear Parents/Carers,

Here we are again at the end of another busy half term. I really must be getting old as these half terms really do fly by! It has been an unusual time in school. We very sadly suffered the loss of a collegue and child.  I would like to thank you again for your understanding on those two very sad occasions. Staff are incredibly grateful that they were able to say goodbye at the services. You may have noticed that some benches and plants arrived this week. They were kindly donated  by the Y3 parents. We also have a bird feeder and a toadstool for EYFS coming which we bought from the money donated by Y2 parents.  It has been such a difficult time, but I feel privileged to be part of such a caring community.

We have had a host of things happening in school this half term to enhance learning. We have had Leeds Rhinos coaches doing both dance and ball skills (but not at the same time)! We have had parents' evenings and shared learning sessions and had the first of, I hope, many PTA events! There is an Easter Egg competition this week- lots of amazing entries.  The Dogs Trust have been to visit and Y2 managed to get to the coal mine before the snow, which they loved. Y1 are going in the summer term (fingers crossed for good weather). Thank you for your generosity for Comic Relief – we raised £106.81 and with Bags2School.  Staff have engaged in training, and we have our Easter visit to church on Thursday.

At the end of this term we say goodbye to Mrs Holliday who has worked in our school kitchen and as a cleaner for over 30 years.  We would like to wish her all the best for her new adventure.

Have a lovely break and we will see you on Monday 17^th April at 8.55am.

Ms Lowry
