9th July 2021

We have had another great week in school, and we are all looking forward to our busy week next week! Our infant and nursery children enjoyed a Teddy Bears Picnic with Eden Bear on Tuesday morning – they had great fun making biscuits and cakes to share with their friends.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the junior children finished off their focus of studies on the local area with a fabulous DT baking project. The smells from the kitchen were divine as three different groups made sticky toffee pudding, gingerbread and mint cakes.
On Thursday, all junior children went off to Abbeystead Estate to take part in various practical activities; the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
As always, pictures from this week are on Facebook.

School Photographs – the school photos have arrived and are being sent home with children today.  

Foodbank Collection – we have some items in our foodbank collection and would like to ask families to donate to our collection; please send long life, non-perishable produce such as a tin or packet of dried food, items can be brought into school and placed in the box outside the office next week. All items will be donated to Manna House in Kendal before the end of term. Thank you for your support.

REMINDER: School Meals – last week there was a letter attached regarding school meals for September onwards. Please respond to the email or return the slip ASAP, thank you.
If we do not hear from you, we will assume children are following the same meal patterns as this term.  

REMINDER: Reception 2021 Intake – all children who will be starting Reception in September are invited to come to school and stay for lunch on Monday 12th July, and parents are being asked to attend a short induction meeting at 12.00pm.  

Whole School Forest School – on Tuesday morning all INFANT and JUNIOR children in school will be taking part in Forest School activities – please come to school dressed appropriately for the weather.

Shhh…. please remember to send in £2.00 per child before Tuesday.

Sports Day – Wednesday 14th July – please can all children come to school wearing a t-shirt in their house colour in readiness for sports day activities please.  Infant children should also come wearing shorts or jogging bottoms (weather dependent) and trainers.

Springs Wood – all children will be walking to Springs Wood on Thursday for a picnic lunch. Any children who usually have a school meal that day will be provided with a picnic lunch from Melling kitchen.  

Infants – Peter Rabbit – as an end of term treat, one afternoon next week the infant children will be watching the Peter Rabbit film to tie in with their study of Beatrix Potter. The film is rated PG – please advise if you have any concerns. Thank you.

Volunteers – we are feeling optimistic that we will be able to welcome back volunteers from September. Please email to let us know if you would be interested in volunteering to listen to readers – either infant or junior – with days you would be available. Thank you.

School Uniform – whilst we have been easy going this term regarding uniform, from September we will be insisting that correct uniform is worn daily by all children.  
School uniform can be ordered directly from the School Trends website and will be delivered to your home address. All children should be wearing our logo jumper and polo shirt with grey or black trousers (not joggers or leggings) and or grey or black skirt / pinafore dress or green checked summer dress.  www.schooltrends.co.uk/uniform/LeckCEPrimarySchoolLA62JD
