Dear Families,
Firstly, the exciting Twitter News. We have a Twitter page for the Federation Sand Hutton and Warthill or @sand_warthill we hope that you will follow us.
We have been experimenting a little this week. We won't be using the direct message feature for this page. To contact the schools, please continue to do so in the usual ways
From Mrs Madge:
Juniors had a wonderful trip out to Danby Lodge in the North Yorkshire Moors. We found out about the biodiversity of the moorland and used keys to characterise different birds that can be found in the national park. In the afternoon we carried out a river investigation. We found a large variety of invertebrates including Harry's find of the day: a dragon fly lava!
I would like to remind everyone again about the Easter Services next week. They are both on Thursday, Warthill at 9am and Sand Hutton at 2pm in their respective churches. Schools close for Easter at 2pm on Friday.
We are of course already planning for the Coronation. This event comes just as our Year 6 children begin their SATs and so we will be marking the occasion in ways which can limit distraction. Friday 5th May will be a day of in school festivities and a coronation lunch. We will host further activities to involve families at other points in the Coronation Year, please look out for these.
Don't forget to attend the Easter Plate Parade at Sand Hutton on the last Friday of term. We are hoping for good enough weather to parade around the playground. You should have already received the plate.
It was lovely to see so many attend the coffee afternoon at Warthill on Monday and to see you again at Parents' Evening. I was treated to a Lego extravaganza with the children waiting for parents! We created some rare models! During the afternoon, the children worked in pairs to create stained glass windows which we hope can be displayed in church in time for the service and to welcome visitors to the church after the Easter break.
Don't forget that there will be Parents' Evening at Sand Hutton this week. I am looking forward to seeing you all there.
Enjoy a lovely weekend,
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
