Dear Parents,
I hope you all had a good, if wintery week off. It is lovely to see everyone back. Miss Byron hasn’t come back yet as she has had an operation. Everything went well and she is hoping to be back in a few weeks. Whilst she is off Mr Warburton is stepping into her shoes, the heels really suit him. He knows the children well so their learning will continue as normal.
The first week back has been a busy one. Our representatives have attended the High peak Kids Council and come back with a long list of things for the Pupil Parliament and me to do. Being part of PEGS has given our children so much already.
Some children have enjoyed a workshop with The Northern Ballet. They all joined in and produced some lovely movements. The staff then gave up their Wednesday evening to attend their own workshop at Buxton Opera House to help develop their dance teaching. All this is part of the preparation for the Peak Dance Festival. The Merlins and Ospreys are preparing their dances to perform on the stage at Buxton Opera House on Monday 20th March. Tickets for this are available from Buxton Opera House Box Office.
Tonight at 6pm is the parents meeting for Eagles in preparation for their trip to Whitby.
Tomorrow, Friday 24th February the Eagles are visiting Glossopdale. They are meeting at the Hadfield site with their PE kits at 9.10 and will then walk back to school for lunch.
The Girl’s football league starts this Friday, we hope all the girls participating enjoy it.
Friday is also the PTA quiz there are still tickets available from the school office.
On Sunday the choir are taking part in the Education Sunday service at St Luke’s Church. If they could meet us there in uniform at 9.45. The service should finish at about 11.15.
Next week the Eagles will be walking across to St Philip Howard School for a visit on Tuesday 28th, again they will need their PE kits.
It is World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March if your child would like to come to school dressed as a literary character they can but they do not have to.
Friday 3rd March is the PTA film night. The PTA have reviewed the event following the first film night and this one will be straight after school so children can stay at school and go to the film. The event finishes at 5.15 and children can be picked up from the hall door. The cost will be £1.50 on the door. The ticket includes a drink and some popcorn.
On Monday 6th the Harriers have been invited to Gamesley Primary School to take part in a Dixieland workshop with their clarinets. Watch this space for details.
I finally have the date for the last INSET day of the year Monday 24th April. Sorry it has taken so long I have been waiting for trainers to get back to me.
