5th July 2019
What a strangely quiet first half of the week we’ve had in school! Our Upper Juniors set off to Edinburgh early Monday morning, shortly followed by the Infants heading out to Ryelands Primary School so we were left with just 13 children in school!
The Infants were out again on Tuesday, for a geography field trip in Lancaster, all enjoying lunch at Bella Italia! Thank you to the volunteer drivers, whom without, these trips wouldn’t be able to take place!
The Upper Juniors returned late on Wednesday, having had a thoroughly enjoyable 3 days in Edinburgh and we’ve really enjoyed listening to their adventures; the children really benefitted from this trip and the special memories it has created!
Next Monday, we have invited our Reception ’19 intake to stay and have lunch with us; we hope Zara, Edward & Freyah are all looking forward to it!
Reports – school reports are in today’s Friday Bag. Please return the slip provided to acknowledge receipt of your child’s report and add any comments as you wish.

Baby & Toddler Play Session – Tuesday 9th July – Leck playgroup will be visiting school from 9.30am – 11.30am, please feel free to stay with younger siblings and tell any friends and family members to come along too.
Sports Day – we all have our fingers crossed this good weather continues for Wednesday 10th July, so that sports day can go ahead as planned at 1.15pm. Everyone is welcome to come along and cheer the children on! If your child has a t-shirt in the colour of their house please could they bring it to wear, we have, Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.
After sports day the PTFA will be serving scones, tea & coffee and biscuits / ice lollies for the children. Thank you.
