Half Term
School will be closed to children on Friday 24th May for a non-contact, teaching training day. The half term holiday commences on Monday 27th May. School re-opens to children on Monday 3rd June.
Year 6 SATs
I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly proud we are of all the Year 6 children who took their SATs this week. They approached their SATs with maturity, enthusiasm and composure. It has been a privilege to spend this time with them and regardless of the results they can all be proud of themselves knowing they did their very best. A fun and restful weekend is deserved by all (including their teachers).
Reception – Chicks
Over the last couple of weeks, the reception children were given the privilege of seeing eggs hatch and seeing the chicks grow. The children have all been very excited watching this process, they have all been so gentle. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Stephenson for giving the children this amazing opportunity.
Nursery – Butterflies
Over the last few weeks, the Nursery children have watched caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. They then released them into the wild with great excitement!
PTA Ice Lollies and Ice Creams
On various days through the summer term, the PTA will be selling lollies and ice creams in the playground after school.

Please can I remind parents that school is not able to authorise any holidays during term time. Therefore, it is important to consult these dates before making any booking. As school is in session during these times, if your child does not attend school due to an unauthorised absence, school will not provide work for this period of time as children are expected to attend school to undertake their learning.
We are committed to improving achievement through attendance, and any pupil whose attendance falls below 96% becomes a cause for concern. Attendance below 90% is classed by the Government as persistent absence. If a child’s attendance falls below 90% we refer all cases to the Education Welfare Office at East Riding, who is likely to contact parents directly to discuss the matter.
