Dear parents
Y3 pupils will visit Ponds Forge every Tuesday morning from 11th February - 15th July for swimming lessons.
For each lesson your child will need to come to school dressed in their swimwear (underneath their school uniform).
They will also need to bring the following:
• A towel
• A waterproof bag
• A change of underwear
Dear families,
We are delighted to let you know that we have the opportunity to go to an event at Sheffield University (Pennine Theatre) and hear a presentation from the author of one of our favorite books – House with Chicken Legs. This is a great way for students to learn more about the book and gain further excitement for reading.
The event will take place on Monday, 28th April 2025
The cost of the trip is £2 to cover the bus fares to and from the event.
Children will return to school by midday so lunch and home time will be normal.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.
Our reception children will be visiting Darnall Library soon! It's a wonderful opportunity for them to explore books and enjoy a captivating story.
