We have had another busy week in school, as we near the run up to the end of term! Our Y6 children have been busy preparing their leavers service, details below.
On Tuesday, our French morning was a huge success! The children enjoyed a French café breakfast, and strutted their stuff down the catwalk.
On Thursday, a group of 9 upper junior children travelled down the valley to Hornby to take part in a cluster rounders tournament. The children, as always, showed great sportsmanship and played really well as a team, and brought home the winners trophy! Well done team Leck!
We would also like to acknowledge one of upper juniors, who was selected from our cluster of schools, throughout various sporting events, who has stood out to the organisers as a great team player, always encouraging other team members on and being a great support to other teams too – well done Connor for winning this award!     
Our whole school trip is today, and the weather looks like it should stay fine for us. Children were all excitedly telling us what they think their favourite parts will be. Thank you to the PTFA for paying for the bus for this trip.

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.

Arts Week – Mrs Tidd has been busily preparing for a fun-filled week of Arts activities next Monday-Wednesday.  These include a wide variety of art, dance, drama and music.
On Monday, please can our upper junior children bring in an apron or oversized t-shirt which they can use for clay work.
On Tuesday, please can all children arrive at school in their PE kit ready for their dance workshops.  
On Wednesday, all parents are kindly invited to our music assembly from 2.45pm. We will then have an art gallery for you to see all the delightful masterpieces children have worked on this week. Children will also be designing a canvas which parents can choose to buy for a donation to school.

Library Bus – the library bus will be visiting on Tuesday. Please can all books be returned. Thank you.

Outdoor After School Club – if any children wish to stay for Outdoor Afterschool Club on Tuesday, they should bring £2.00 on the day. 

Sports Day – we are really looking forward to Sports Day on Thursday 13th July at 9.30am. Children should come to school in their PE kit with a t-shirt in their house colour. If your child/ren are unsure of which house team they are in please email and we will let you know.
The PTFA will be serving refreshments – they would be very grateful for donations of scones / butter / jam / cream and biscuits / cakes.  

Leavers’ Service – we expect to see all families in church for the end of year service on Monday 17th July at 6.00pm to say a final farewell to our Year 6 children and families.
