This week’s message is a day earlier than normal. First up, here’s a repeat of part of last week’s message, in case you missed it…

Easter

With Easter on the way, please see this list of free and low-cost things to do over the Easter school holidays in Leeds.

Also (and not in last week’s message), check out this Child Friendly Leeds guide to help children and families in Leeds navigate their way through the Easter holidays.

400 words for Leeds

Did you know Leeds is celebrating 400 years since Leeds received its Royal Charter from King Charles I back in 1626? Leeds Lit Fest invite your child to get involved in the 400 Words for Leeds 400 writing competition.

Warm Spaces

Each term, some of our children visit Warm Spaces, a local community cafe, held at St James’ Church Hall. The cafe has been running for four years following the Covid pandemic and is getting busier each year. Recently, some money raised at Warm Spaces has been donated to our school which has helped buy a new interactive whiteboard screen for the hall and helped buy some screens for the classrooms. We appreciate the generous donation and we’re making good use of the new screens. A big thank you to everyone who organises Warm Spaces and people who attend the weekly cafe.

Rocksteady

It was great watching all of our Rocksteady bands perform this week at the end of term concert. It takes lots of perseverance to learn to play a musical instrument and courage to stand up and perform. Well done to all the children who took part and to Connie, our band leader.

SEND parent carer monthly drop-in sessions

Are you a parent or carer of a child with special educational needs and/or disabilities or waiting for your child’s needs to be assessed? You might like to join one of the monthly drop-in sessions at the Reginald Centre or Moor Allerton Community Hub.

Finally, a message from our PTA…

Summer Fayre

Dear parents and carers

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, we won’t be holding a Summer Fayre this year.

As a PTA, we rely entirely on the time and support of volunteers to organise and run events, and this year we simply haven’t had enough people able to commit to making the fayre possible.

We completely understand how busy life can be, and we want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all the support you’ve given us in the past.

Whether you’ve helped at events, donated items, or simply come along and taken part, it has made a real difference and helped us create some wonderful experiences for the children.

We’re still very much committed to supporting the school and hope to run other events throughout the year. If you’d ever like to get involved, even in a small way, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Warm regards,
The PTA Team

Have a happy and healthy Easter holiday.
