We’ve had a busy final week at Penshurst this week. 

On Wednesday, a selection of our learners had an incredible opportunity to connect with nature through the "Rewilding Youth" program, hosted by the Humber Forest Visitors. The learners played a key role in shaping our forest area through tree-planting, and I thoroughly enjoyed the moment when one of them proudly took me on a tour of the newly planted area. It is wonderful to see these learners having deeper appreciation for the environment.  

Later in the day, the PFA Friendship Disco brought joy and laughter to our school community. The event was a fantastic success, with the highlight of the night possibly being the year 6 boys serenading the Year 6 girls and vice versa in a sing’off! I’m not sure there was a winning team, but it was entertaining, nonetheless. A big thank you to the PFA and all the volunteers who made this event possible! 🎉💃 

Reports 

Please look out for learner reports which will be distributed by the end of today. These reports provide valuable insights into your child's progress and areas for improvement. We encourage you to review them carefully and reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns. 

Parking Reminder 

We kindly ask all parents to be mindful of parking on Winthorpe Road and Penshurst Avenue. This week, we had a report from a resident of a car rolling backwards into their own Needless to say, this could have been a child and so we politely remind you to ensure your vehicle is securely parked and consider using alternative parking areas if necessary. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. 

Health Alert: Chickenpox and Scarlet Fever

Lastly, we want to make you aware that chickenpox is still circulating in the early years and the community. We have also been notified of 2 cases of scarlet fever in our Nursery. Please remain vigilant and monitor your child for any symptoms. If your child shows signs of chickenpox or scarlet fever, we advise keeping them at home and consulting with your healthcare provider. Let's work together to keep our community healthy and safe.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Have a wonderful half-term break and I look forward to seeing you upon our return. 

Mrs Preston
