Dear Families,
Happy Friday Everyone!
We have enjoyed a lovely sunny week in our schools which was a relief given that it was SPORTS’ DAY!
We really enjoyed seeing both our school communities coming together for this event. I do hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. We felt it was afternoon of wholesome, good-natured and inclusive traditional fun! What could be better than that? This was all topped off with ice lollies! Thank you to the PTA and FOWS. Thank you to everyone who contributed to all aspects of planning this and to Mrs Drysdale for working our which competitors should be in each race. A lovely afternoon. (We hope that nobody on the far side of the tracks got too hot!)
It is difficult to believe that we will be in July when we return to school on Monday morning. Next week is already looking busy. This Friday YoYo will be working in Warthill and they will do the same on Monday at Sand Hutton.
It will then be a creative start to the week at Warthill, beginning with Day 2 of our Ceramic Tile workshops. I can’t wait to see these looking colourful! On Tuesday we are looking forward to a percussion workshop, also at Warthill. This will be delivered by the University. Wednesday is Transition Day for many of our Year 6 pupils. They will be finding out more about their new school and meeting new friends and teachers. We really hope you have a great day Year 6 pupils! We know that you will love it!
Thursday brings water fight fun to Sand Hutton. I know that you will have received a separate letter about what you need to wear/bring on that day! I would REALLY LOVE to be able to join you Class 3…..but I will have teach Class 2 so you will need to go ahead without me!( What a shame. ) Warthill, your water fight is yet to come. Stand by!
Next weekend will see both schools’ PTAs host their summer fairs. Sand Hutton will be holding theirs between 12 and 2pm on Saturday 6th and Warthill’s on Sunday 7th at the same time! I have done my absolute best to book good weather for both occasions. I hope to see many of you there. Thank you to Sand Hutton PTA and FOWS for organising these events which are fun for all and raise funds for events such as the two trips we enjoyed last week. We do appreciate you!
All that remains is for me to wish you a happy weekend.
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
