Dear Families,

What a busy week we have had!

The visit to Howsham Mill was enhanced by the arrival of kayaking Olympians which was quite a treat! Everyone was very chatty about the day and it is so great to have a visit with a Science link.

The visit to Elvington Air Museum was also a great success. A History link this time, with a bit of Science thrown in I am sure as it follows on from the Air Resistance work covered as part of Friction.                        

And finally………….. here we are safe and sound at YOUNG VOICES! We know we have some hard work ahead of us and the performance later! To those of you who have not had the pleasure before but are in the audience tonight, you are in for a real treat. It is ‘goosebumps making wonderful!’

Looking ahead to next week as we head towards half term. Our schools will be celebrating Mental Health Week with activities every day. In this week there is also E-Safety Day (the Tuesday) and at Sand Hutton on this day, there is the Dotty for Dogs Day. As part of Mental Health Week, the Express Yourself Day on Friday will allow children to come wearing their own clothing (non-uniform). At Sand Hutton this coincides with the Disco, organised by the PTA.

We have had our February Sharing at Warthill today and this will be at Sand Hutton next Friday. School will close for Half Term at the usual end of day time (NOT an early finish). School will return on Monday 20th February.  I hope that you have some exciting plans afoot as the weather improves.

Have an enjoyable weekend,

With every best wish

Beverley Pawson
