We have had a lovely first week back in school. This week we have welcomed Yalta to Y3 and Celia to Nursery. We hope both children will be very happy here at Leck.
The upper junior children have had a brilliant couple of days – and learnt many useful road sense skills – at Bikeability on Thursday and Friday. Well done to all children for giving it a go!
Please can all PE kits and water bottles be returned to school. We have had some children without this week.     

Covid-19 – latest guidance – from 1st April – Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can go back to school when they no longer have a high temperature, and they are well enough to attend. Full guidance is available on our website.

Summer Term Lunch Menu – menus were sent out before the half-term break and we start the new menu this coming Monday.
Menu choices will be listed below for the next couple of weeks, if your child/ren do not currently have school meals but would like to try, please email Mrs Knapp. 

REMINDER: Juniors DT Project – next half-term the junior children will be designing and making their own pop up books. Please can any pop-up books be brought into school the first week back for us to have a look at the design and mechanisms. They will all be returned. Thank you.

REMINDER: Ice Lollies & Juice – as we approach the summer months, children from the Eco Team will be selling ice lollies and juice on a Tuesday break to continue to raise money towards the school garden project. This will start on Tuesday 26th April. Any children wishing to join in should bring £2.50, to cover the half-term, in a named envelope by Monday. Thank you.
