We have had a great week in school! On Monday morning we welcomed the Lancashire Adult Learning team into school who did a craft session with some children and their parents / appropriate adult. Children whose parents were unable to attend took part in World Earth Day activities as a whole school project. The children all enjoyed the session and we have a beautiful display of pledges they have made to help look after Earth.     

Life Education Visit – once again, the Life Education team will be visiting school next Thursday. There is a parent session from 8.55am to hear more information about the programme.

Outdoor Area – our children and Mrs Mather have been working closely with Alex from Where the Wildings are! to upgrade our outdoor area. We have designed some plans, but now the FUNdraising starts! Parts of the project will be relatively straightforward and will just need (wo)manpower and time and others will cost. Hopefully by next week we will have a list of jobs for people to sign up to.
Mrs Mather met with the PTFA on Thursday to discuss plans going forward and we would like to do a sponsored walk up Ingleborough with all our children. More details will follow on this, but please do come and see Mrs Mather if you would like to have a look at the plans.   

REMINDER: PE Kit – please can all children remember to return their PE kit. As we are now in the summer months, we will be outside for our PE lessons, so please bring appropriate clothing and footwear. Thank you.

REMINDER: After School Clubs – payment is available on SchoolMoney for the two after school clubs, please can we encourage parents to make payment this week.
