Today was nothing short of extraordinary as we welcomed the talented author **John Patrick Green** to our school! The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as he held engaging workshops for our Y2, Y3, Y4, and Y5 students. Each session was a creative adventure where our young learners participated in drawing lessons and learned the art of designing storyboards. It was incredible to see their imaginations come to life!

The children were in awe of John’s storytelling and artistic skills, and it was clear that we have some future artists and authors among us! During the workshops, John took time to answer questions from our curious minds about the life of an author, inspiring them to dream big.

We also had a special treat for parents who joined the fun! They had the opportunity to purchase some of John’s fantastic books, which he graciously signed, making the day even more memorable.

All in all, it was a fantastic day filled with creativity, inspiration, and a whole lot of fun! We can’t wait to see where our budding authors take their talents next!

Happy Father's Day

To all our amazing dads and carers out there! We hope you have a day filled with love, laughter, and all your favorite things.

Thank you for everything you do and for simply being you! Enjoy your special day!

INFANT SCHOOL SPORTS DAY

Dear families,

Weather permitting, our infant school sports day is set for Thursday, 26th June . Here’s what you need to know:

Y1 & Y2: 10 - 12noon

FS2: 1.30 - 3pm

We invite all families to come and cheer on the children as the events unfold on our school field! Pupils should wear their P.E. kits and don’t forget their water bottles. We can’t wait to see you there! Who's excited?

As part of this term’s work on personal safety, all the Y6 children will be taking part in “Crucial Crew”.

This is an interactive scheme for young people to learn about, and react to, a variety of real life-type situations: Home Fire Safety, Arson, Bus Safety, Road Safety, Child Criminal Exploitation, Mock Court Trial and Knife/Hate Crime.

It is run by South Yorkshire Police and other professional agencies. Our staff will be, of course, always accompanying the children.

It takes place at ‘The Lifewise Centre’, Rotherham.

The child will be attending on: Tuesday, 1^st July

We shall leave school after the register, by coach, and return to school by 3:00pm. Your child will also need a packed lunch and water but, as usual, if your child normally has free school meals, they will receive a free packed lunch.

We are asking for a contribution of £9 towards the cost of the coach travel, which is payable via the arbor app or calling in at the school office.  We cannot take children on this trip without your consent.

The visits have been carefully planned. The Police have carried out Risk Assessments and a copy of this will be available in the School Office for anyone to see. All children going out on school visits must have a completed General Consent Form and Emergency Medical Treatment Form which is taken from the Education Department’s Code of Practice Number 14 and is in line with school’s own health and safety guidelines.

Thank you for your continued support.

Many thanks
