18th June 2021

We’ve had a relatively quiet week in school!
Unfortunately, on Monday, Boris Johnson did not have the news we had all been hoping for, which means there are, once again, no changes in school.
This has left question marks over the Y6 leavers bowling and meal evening planned for 12th July – we are awaiting confirmation, but it is likely to be cancelled.
Sports day will now also change, as we operate in two bubbles. The infants and juniors will both take part, but separately. We have also made the decision to have this in school, without spectators. Whilst we know this will be disappointing, we would rather be extra cautious now to aid bringing the virus back under control.
The infants enjoyed their Forest School session on Tuesday afternoon; they looked at tree identification and made some wonderful crowns from leaves they found. Pictures have been added to our Facebook page.
On Tuesday afternoon, the junior children were treated to a French café experience to aid their lesson. They all thoroughly enjoyed their hot chocolates and brioche.
Tempest Photography have been here this afternoon and all children in school have had their photos taken. Proofs will be coming home today, and will need to be returned by next Friday at the latest. Thank you.

REMINDER: SchoolMoney – there are still a number of children with outstanding amounts, please let us know if you are having trouble accessing your SchoolMoney account and we can look into this. Thank you.
SchoolMoney registers for dinner and early morning club are updated weekly, parents can access and pay at a time that is convenient. Reminders for non-payment will be sent out at the end of each month.

Infants Forest School – we will be continuing our forest school journey on Tuesday morning, please send children prepared for the weather.

Athletics @ Arkholme – on Tuesday morning, a team of 12 juniors will be taking part in a cluster athletics competition. A full information sheet will be sent home for all children involved.

PTFA News – Mrs Mather has decided to step down as co-chair of the PTFA from the end of this academic year, we are very grateful for all she has put into the PTFA over the last few years.
Therefore, we have looked at our structure for the next academic year and we do have vacancies to fill.  We welcome anyone who would like to put their name forward to be chair, vice chair or secretary. Please email.
The money raised by the PTFA benefits all children across school. This academic year they have paid for or provided:

Ordinarily, we would also have had contributions to the whole school end of year trip and the bus cost for the pantomime, amongst others so without the help of the PTFA, trips would not be as cost friendly – we really do need your help!

Coming up this half term
