This week our Y6 children took their SATs. We are extremely proud of the way the children approached these tests, all week they have been extremely mature and positive and we know that they have all tried their very best, which is all that we ask. Thank you Y6 for all your hard work. Some of our Upper Junior children took part in a Kwik Cricket Competition at Over Kellet today and played fantastically well as a team, with outstanding behaviour too. Well done Team Leck!

Walk 2 School Week – all next week we will be encouraging all children to walk to school as often as they can. Any children taking part will enjoy breakfast together when they arrive at school. We will meet daily at 8.20am in the carpark at the back of Cowan Bridge Village Stores.

School Times – as a polite reminder school starts at 9am and finishes at 3.15pm. The doors are open from 8.50am and all children should be in school ready for lessons by 9am. If children arrive after 9am, they should enter via the office door. All junior children should now enter and exit through the hall door.

Infants Forest School – the infants will be continuing their Forest School Adventures on Wednesday with a visit to the wooded area here at school. They will need appropriate outdoor clothing suitable for the weather.  

REMINDER: Platinum Jubilee Celebrations – we have lots of wonderful things planned to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee during the last week of term.
We have an Art & DT competition running, full details were attached to this email last week.
We will need lots of newspaper, so please can families start to collect and bring them in to school.
Please can families also start to collect coins / loose change with the Queen’s face on for a special art project. Children can bring the coins into school – we have a box for them to deposit them. Thank you.

Choir for the Queen – schools from across the UK and Commonwealth have been invited to take part in St Paul’s Cathedral ‘Choir for the Queen’. We will be recording a group of children singing one of the royal pieces as part of our Jubilee Week celebrations. If you do not wish your child to take part in this recording which may be shown on national television during St Paul’s Cathedral’s national service of thanksgiving for the Platinum Jubilee on 3rd June, please let us know.   

Parents Meeting – Edinburgh – Mr Stafford-Roberts is holding an information session for all parents of pupils going on the Edinburgh Residential Trip at the end of June.  The meeting will be held in school on Monday 23rd May at 6pm, please try to attend.

Edinburgh – payment for the residential is now due. Please continue to check SchoolMoney to pay the outstanding balance.  

Toddler Group Forest School Session – Tuesday 24th May from 9.30am. Please share details to any families with pre-school aged children. We will be spending the morning outside in the grounds and planting a tree for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Young Voices – Wednesday 25th May – please can children in the juniors practise the songs at home using the practise tracks and videos provided by Young Voices on MyClassmate. To access these parents should set up a MyClassmate account using the link below, then they will receive an access code. Many thanks to those who have already done this and encouraged their child to practise at home, it does make a big difference.

A parent letter with all information for the day is attached to today’s email. Any further questions please contact Mrs Knapp in the office.

KS2 PE Kits – should be available in school every day, we are still having to lend kit each lesson. Children need trainers not pumps for rugby and rounders as we are outside whatever the weather. 

PTFA News –
AGM – we will be holding our AGM on either Monday 23rd or Tuesday 24th May – please can parents let us know which date is better suited for them and we will arrange a time and place to suit. There will be various roles to allocate for September 2022, including chair person, vice chair and secretary. Without these vital roles the PTFA will not be able to operate. All money raised by the PTFA benefits all children in school.
