Thank you to everybody who supported the school at the summer fair on Saturday. We raised close to £600! The PTA did a fantastic job of organising lots of stalls, food and drink- thank you.

Well done to all the maypole dancers and singers, too.

On Saturday 29th June, 12pm-3pm, we are having our summer fair. The PTA have been very busy planning activities and stalls: raffle, tombola, bouncy castle, face painting, Wetherby High School and St James’ choir, maypole dancing, beat the goalie, food/drink and so much more………

Thank you to everybody who donated tombola prizes on Friday- this has been an enormous help!

If you are able to help on the day, then please sign up on the sheet in the school office.

We look forward to seeing lots of you there!

Clean Air Day is taking place on Thursday 20 June. This day raises awareness of how air pollution is having an impact on our health which will enable people to act on making UK cities cleaner, healthier and greener for us all, especially children.

Clean Air Day provides a perfect opportunity to encourage more children to walk, cycle or scoot to school and to inspire parents / carers to leave their car at home or park further away and walk the rest of the route to school. Walking / scooting / cycling to school is not only better for the environment but it improves the physical and mental health of our children.

You may have noticed a banner outside our school, which is reminding drivers to turn their car engines off when they are waiting. This is another way that we can help keep our air cleaner. Years 5 and 6 are learning about pollution and climate change as part of their topic this term and they feel strongly that this banner is displayed outside our school gates.

What a fantastic end to our themed week- Money Matters!

All the children made a penny trail in the playground with all the one pence and two pence coins they have been collecting throughout the week. All the money will be counted and donated to our school charity- Dogs Trust.  

Look on our class news pages to see more of what we have been getting up to this week.

KS2 have had a fantastic afternoon at John Smeaton Leisure Centre, taking part in the triathlon event. The children swam, cycled and ran the course, showing determination and resilience.
