Dear Families,

Happy Easter to you all! I do hope the weather improves!

We have had a very busy last week in both schools. Two Easter services meant that we were able to meet many of you. Equally, Parents’ Evening at Sand Hutton was a chance to catch up with families too.

In our Easter Services we were welcomed by Judith at Warthill who told us the exciting news of the possibility of a new vicar after Easter. At Sand Hutton we enjoyed our last Easter Service with Rev Chris who told us all about Rev Nigel who will join the Benefice soon as curate. Changing and exciting times.

More of you are following us on Twitter which is great to see. We have shared pupils’ work and communication from authors. We have also retweeted a prayer for the day from the Diocese where Warthill was mentioned. Please join the fun and retweet the wonderful work the children are so proud of in school.

Thank you to the parents helping out at Warthill; painting notice boards and tending to a playground stubborn puddle. This week was a power washing master class and our outdoor play equipment is gleaming again. At Sand Hutton, the PTA are planning to host a Coronation Clean- Up on Monday 8th May.  They will be inviting people to drop in and assist in a tidy up, enjoy some refreshments, and have a catch up!  This is in line with the national Big Help Out initiative. More information in a colourful flyer. Thank you!

This morning we enjoyed an Easter Plate Parade at Sand Hutton with prizes donated by Co-op. The variety was incredible and all the children received a small prize in recognition of their efforts. Mrs Baker had the impossible task of selecting a favourite from each class.

The PTA provided pupils with a plate to decorate.

The plates shown were created by Thomas in Class 1, Scarlett in Class 2 and Lottie in Class 3. Well done! And Well done everyone!

Finally I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter once again and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 18th April. With every best wish,

Beverley Pawson
