Dear Families,
Welcome back to the second half of the Spring Term.
Thank you for your understanding this week at Sand Hutton over the burst pipe. After their visit on
Wednesday, they have managed to partially fix the heating with the exception of the Classroom 3
space. We do have portable heaters although these are struggling to make a difference in the
current temperatures and therefore Class 3 are in the hall for the time being. We are hoping that
they will be able to fully remedy the situation very soon but this will involve the taking up of some
flooring.
I am very pleased to announce the naming of Reading Ambassadors at Warthill in the junior class
this week! These children will have a number of duties in the field of promoting reading. I was truly
touched by the way in which pupils applauded their friends’ selection. All children also know that
they have a role in suggesting reading material for the reading ambassadors to promote. Watch this
space!
Talking of reading, I am looking forward to next week and World Book Day. I know that Miss
Heffernan set an exciting challenge and I can’t wait to see the creative ideas that you have had for
this!
Just a reminder that it will be class photos on Monday and this is also the time when the photos are
taken for the Year 6 leaving gifts. This will take place in both schools during the morning.
At Sand Hutton, the Parents’ Evening appointments have been sent out. If you haven’t received
