After two busy inset days of training, the staff have loved having the children back in school. A very warm welcome to all new families who joined us this week. Mrs Sagaas has enjoyed visiting our new Reception children in their homes this week prior to them starting on Monday.

We were so excited to get this message from our Year 1 teacher, Mrs Coleman, parent, Mrs Hopkins and Giovanna Fletcher. Look at those views! Wishing you all lots of luck this week. We are walking daily to try to get to our 1000 miles target and raise more money for CoppaFeel!

Thank-you to everyone who came to our Governors' Glow Disco on Friday evening. It was a great start to the weekend.

Please see below for information about open evening for September 2024 admissions to Reception. We are looking forward to meeting everyone! #Sept2024admissions #startingschool #wheldrake #thorganby

Thank-you to Jonny Hirons who sent us another great photo of school. He thought this angle with the church behind the school was quite fitting for us and said that it was as though the church was watching over school. Isn’t the light on the church lovely? Sharing with permission.

I found this note on my desk today. I am looking forward to going to look at the writing in Reception.

Our Reception children found lots of evidence of spring in their recent hunt in our school grounds.
