This week, Mrs Smith has been busy talking to our learners about all things Eco. We are still eagerly collecting plastic bottle tops and have now even made this a house competition, so please support your child to bring in as many in as possible. Over the summer break, Mrs Smith and Mrs Holmes visited the factory which recycles the tops into functional, everyday items, and they were astounded with the initiative. So far, we have been able to ‘purchase’ several planters for the allotment and the site, and we are now keen to work towards a table and 4 chairs. Currently, we have 20,960 points and we need to reach 24,000 in order to achieve our goal. Please also remember that we recycle your batteries! 

Also this week, we held our Year 6 Residential information session for parents on Wednesday, and Year 4 began their fortnight of swimming lessons at Haltemprice. Football and cross country trials have also been very well attended this week. Thank you for your support with all of these events.  

Cycle to School Week will take place next week. Please encourage your child to cycle or scoot to school, where our lovely TAs will be giving out prizes, with a bonus prize for wearing a helmet! Thank you for your ongoing support in keeping your children safe.  

Please remember to refer to our uniform policy to ensure your child is wearing the correct items. PE kits should be brought on Monday and taken home on Friday. As always, if for whatever reason you are struggling to obtain the correct items, please contact the office confidentially and we will support with pre-loved uniform where available. We will be sending polite uniform prompts where necessary. Once again, thank you for your cooperation. 

Before the dark nights close in too much, I hope you are able to enjoy some sunshine this weekend. See you next week! 

Mrs Preston

Head of School
