Yesterday was an amazing day for our Y1 children at Yorkshire Wildlife Park! They had a fantastic time getting up close to lions, tigers, giraffes—you name it! 🦁🐯🦒 Some of our little adventurers even shared that it was their first time being so close to these incredible animals! What a wonderful experience for them all! 🌿✨ #WildlifeAdventure #Y1Fun

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are delighted to let you know that we have the opportunity to go to an event at The Montgomery, Sheffield City Centre and hear a presentation from the author of one of our favourite books – The Boy at the Back of the Class. This is a great way for students to learn more about the book and gain further excitement for reading.

The event will take place on Monday, 8th June 2026

The cost of the trip is £2 to cover the bus fares to and from the event. Please give your consent on the arbor app and pay all money to the school office.

Children will return to school after lunchtime therefore children will need a packed lunch, as usual if they are entitled to Free School Meals one will be provided for them. Home time will be as normal

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.

Y4 Team

The Y1s have arrived safe and sound and are absolutely loving their time with the animals! From learning how animals are all different and whether they have scales or feathers to getting up close and personal with some amazing wildlife, they even had the chance to hold a large snail!

Stay tuned for more photos coming soon!

Year 6 are devoting the most of their time now revising for their SAT's. The children worked on exploring 'words in meaning' in a new text, and they worked in teams to find 'words in meaning.' Teamwork really does make the dream work!

Our Year 6 children are working hard as they prep for SATs starting on Monday, 11th May 2026!

Here's the schedule:

**Monday 11th May:** Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar (Paper 1 & 2)

**Tuesday 12th May:** Reading

**Wednesday 13th May:** Maths Arithmetic (Paper 1) & Reasoning (Paper 2) **Thursday 14th May:** Reasoning (Paper 3)

From Monday 11th May we want the Y6 children to join us for a FREE breakfast club each morning at 8:20 am in the dining room. A great way for the kids to start the day with some toast and juice!

Please make sure to update your child’s medical info in the office for any allergies.

Attendance is crucial during SATs week!

Ensure your child gets plenty of rest leading up to the exams!

🌟 Year 6 have been quite the busy bees lately, diving deep into their SATs revision! 🐝 We had a fantastic ‘question hunt’ around the classroom, focusing on word meanings. Students teamed up to remember the questions, share them with their partners, and work together to find the answers. Teamwork makes the dream work! Keep up the great work, everyone! 💪📚 #SATs #Teamwork #LearningFun

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any picnic blankets, sandbox play toys, buckets shovels & molds that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week of term!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome!
