Dear Families,
This week has been very Christmassy with the first of our Nativities at Sand Hutton. The two productions of Whoops-a-Daisy Angel were magical. The whole school together in song. We also featured the Steel Pans with Mrs Naylor playing for the evening performance. Well done everyone. What a talented lot! It was truly the beginning of my Christmas. I can’t wait for Warthill’s Nativity next Tuesday.
Class Three would like to say thank you (and there are postcards in school for you too!) to the PTA for their polar bear adoption which came as a great surprise this week, as they finished their class novel.
And….talking of reading, Miss Heffernan entered a competition on behalf of the federation and won copies of Happy news, which she has shared between the two schools. These newspapers only contain uplifting news from around the world to help readers focus on the positives in life. They really do bring smiles and are being enjoyed. Thank you!
Next week we are looking forward to Craft days and Christmas parties. I am pleased to be able to say that our Christmas Dinner will be on Wednesday 20th December in both schools. Hurray!
As previously happened at Sand Hutton, the Local Authority will be carrying out their safeguarding visit at Warthill on this day and she may wish to talk to parents at the gate. She will be wearing her lanyard and she will stay for the day. This will also be the FOWS sponsored event…we like to pack things in don’t we!?
Finally, another reminder that school will finish next Friday at 2pm on both sites.
And………….see you tonight at the Sand Hutton Christmas Fair if you are coming!
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
Headteacher
