The Greatest Animal of All
This week, many of our KS2 children attended a MAT science sharing event on “The Greatest Animal of All”. This took place at the new Education Exchange conference centre in Knottingley, and was attended by important science experts as well as the author of the book we have been reading, Penny Worms.
As you know, we have been studying the honey bee and our children presented their case to others and displayed their work. We were delighted that they were voted to be the winners of the event!
We were presented with a cheque for £100 that we will donate to the Bee Conservation Trust. Children put their case forward brilliantly and we are very proud of them. You can see more, and hear an interview on BBC Radio Leeds, on our social media.
Thank you!

School Calendar - keep up to date!
Please remember to keep checking the calendar regularly, as there will be a lot happening in school. We are planning to hold a production for parents, done by KS2 children, there will be a transition day for new classes, an end of year service in church, and other events happening. Dates will be circulated in the news, but the calendar is always the best source of advance notice. This is available on the bottom of each Friday newsletter and on our website.
School Lunches
Please see the Summer 2022 Lunch menu below. Next week we will be on Week 2 of lunches.
On Tuesday we have our Special Summer Mini Food Festival menu. We have then swapped the Pizza to the Wednesday instead of Tuesday.
Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.
Please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like to order. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.
Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.
Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.
Parent Volunteers
We are delighted to be able to have volunteers into schools again, and would welcome parents to help us. If you are able to give any time to us, either on an ad-hoc or regular basis, you will need to complete a DBS application. Please contact the office for more information.
