Dear Families,
It has been quite a busy week in our schools this week with more ahead (but hopefully after
a somewhat quieter stretch!).
Thank you to everyone who supported our Summer Event at Sand Hutton on Saturday and is
continuing to collect sponsor money. A huge congratulations to Mrs Jones, who inspired the
event, walking so far in such intense heat. We really hope that she enjoys her flowers! The
day was sunny and warm with a chilled atmosphere that everyone enjoyed.
Class 1 made me so very proud at Stockeld Park on Tuesday. We dodged the rain and had
fun in the forest and even more fun in the Playhive after lunch. There wasn’t a slide ‘unslid’
by the time we left. The behaviour from everyone was outstanding and this always makes
for the perfect day out!
Class 2 made their teachers really proud too on their Woodland Adventure visit on
Wednesday. They spent their day den building and marshmallow toasting. It sounds like a
great day all round. The feedback we have received from children and parents has been
really pleasing.
This weekend we are looking forward a second Summer Fair, this time at Warthill! The
Junior Class has been tackling the fiver challenge. Each group has had to use five pounds and
create a project, to be launched at the Summer Fair and see which group can make the
greatest profit. I have seen some super ideas and some very serious planning going on in
this class this week.
I BELIEVE that next week is a quieter one….famous last words!
Have a great weekend,
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
