Dear Parents & Carers,

It has, as ever, been a busy week this week in school.  There has been some amazing science work done based around the pond.  We have tadpoles and damsel flies to name but two things.  The children’s ideas of experiments and further research shows just how strong their grounding is in Science.  I also need to thank the children who yet again have been part of demonstration Maths lessons for other schools.  Our Maths teaching is so strong that we are used by the local Maths Hub for exemplar lessons. 

The PTA summer fair is coming up on Tuesday 27th June 3.30-5pm, the plans sound very exciting.  I am attaching a flyer which shows you all the fun things planned.  If you are available to help please let the office or the PTA committee know.  The more people that can help the better.  I hope you also have in your diary the Treasure Trail on Saturday 8th July this should be a fun family event.

The next Bag 2 School collection is on Monday 26th June.  We will be sending bags home to fill with textiles but you don’t need to use their bags and bin bag will do.

Our family support worker is offering a drop in session for parents on Thursday 29th June 11-12 and on Thursday 13th July.  I am attaching some more information about this.  I know parents have found it useful to chat to her about any concerns they have.

I have had a number of complaints about parents sitting in their cars with the engines running.  In the winter it is done to keep the heating running and in the summer to use the air-conditioning but it is really bad for the air quality.  It is damaging for the children to have all the emissions from the exhausts in the air they breathe as they are going home.  Please turn your engines off.

I have been sent some information about a Teddy Bears’ Picnic being run by Glossop, Hadfield, Guide Bridge and Hattersley stations on Saturday 17th June 11-2.  There is free travel for children and adults with an accompanying bear, events at the stations including competitions.

Remember there are no school run after school clubs next week because of parent’s meetings.  If you haven’t made your appointment yet remember to do so.

The Mighty Creatives have made two films celebrating the artsmark work which feature our school.  The links to them are here you may need to copy and paste them into your browser to make them work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Y6q6IrCjY  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1L8OFJ_p1E
