Dear Parents,

We have had a lovely dance filled week. The children in Eagles and Merlins worked with a dancer from The Northern Ballet. Wow, what an opportunity!  She was very impressed with the work they did.  The younger children have got into the dance groove and Kestrels have been choreographing a dance, we have been treated to a dance assembly by two of the children and some of the children are setting up a lunchtime dance club.  Merlins and Ospreys are very busy preparing their dances for the dance festival on Monday.  We will be leaving school just before the end of the school day and going by coach to Buxton.  We will be rehearsing and eating our packed tea before performing on the stage at the Opera House.

Eagles class also enjoyed visiting St Philip Howard for a taster lesson. They are learning a bit about what life is like at secondary school and what kind of lessons they might have.  I believe they were looking at Shakespearian insults.

Remember it is the Book Fair after school today and tomorrow the selection of books looks great this year.

You should have had your child’s class photo order form yesterday. If you would like a copy of the photo please return the order form to school by 22nd March.

Tomorrow is Red Nose Day the children are invited to come in something odd for a donation to comic relief.

The Kestrels have been preparing to lead our assembly tomorrow I believe it is going to be laughter filled. Do join us if you can.  Next week Friday 22nd March Eagles will be leading the assembly.

There is a PTA meeting tonight 7pm at The Cricket Club please do come if you can. Talking of the PTA, if the weather improves there will be a scoot and skate on Friday 22nd March after school.  The children can stay after school and use the playground to scoot and skate on – if they have a helmet on.  Watch out for further details.

School run after school clubs will finish on Thursday 28th March.

The girls taking part in the football tournament had a good session last week, winning more games than they lost but more importantly playing well as a team. I hope they do as well this week.  Thank you to Mr Warburton for giving up his Friday after school to enable them to play.
