It has been a strangely quiet end to the week, with the majority of our upper junior children away in Edinburgh. We can’t wait to hear all about their adventure next week.
We had another great turn out for Walk 2 School this week. Our next Walk 2 School is planned for Tuesday 5th July.  

YDNP Visit – on Monday morning, the junior children have a Science morning led by Yorkshire Dales National Park. The morning involves investigating soils so please ensure all children have a coat and a pair of wellies.

Farm Open Day – the Westmorland County Agricultural Society have very kindly invited our juniors to a farm open day at Heaves Farm on Tuesday 28th June. A full information sheet is attached.

REMINDER: Gardening Club – any children who attended the after-school gardening club in February and March are invited to Gresgarth Hall Gardens, Caton, Lancaster, LA2 9NB on Tuesday 28th June from 3.30-4.30pm. Children will need to make their own way to and from the gardens. If this will be a problem please let us know and we can try to pool some families together.

Dan Worsley – on Thursday, Dan Worsley (local …ish) author will be popping in with some signed books for anyone who missed out purchasing them when he visited. The books are £5 (a saving of 99p from the amazon price!) If you would like to purchase one please bring £5 in a named envelope on Thursday.  

Upper Juniors Rounders – some of our junior children will be taking part in a cluster rounders tournament at Hornby St Margaret’s next Friday 1st July. A full information sheet is attached for those involved.   

Reception 2022 Intake – all children who will be starting Reception in September will be invited to come to school and stay for lunch and parents are being asked to attend a short induction meeting at 12.00pm on Monday 4th July. The following Monday 11th July, children will be invited to come to school and stay for lunch and parents are asked to collect children at 1pm.

REMINDER: Whole School Trip – Fleetwood – 13th July – we have planned for all children from Reception through to Y6 to attend a whole school trip to Fleetwood.
The KS2 children will be visiting Glazey Days, whilst the Infant children will visit Fleetwood Museum. These two visits tie in with our current curriculum topics. We will then meet together for lunch.
The PTFA have very kindly agreed to cover the cost of the coach for the trip, therefore leaving a cost to parents of £10.00 per child for the KS2 visit and £2.50 per child for the Infant visit. There will also be an optional lunch (Fish & Chips) – we are currently costing it out, but do not anticipate it to be more than £4.00 per portion.

REMINDER: School Uniform – we’ve noticed recently that the standards of uniform are slipping. We do have a clear uniform policy which can be found on the School Trends website.
Parents may also like to start thinking of putting in their uniform orders for September as there can sometimes be quite a wait when all the orders get put in at once.

Children should be arriving at school wearing:

Children will need a pair of outdoor shoes / wellies in school which can be worn for outside play, but school shoes must be worn inside from September, no slippers or pumps. Please note this is a change from our current practice.

For PE children should wear:

REMINDER: School Money – there are still a couple of accounts with balances from last financial year. Please try to make payments as soon as possible. If you are struggling to log in please ask Mrs Knapp.
