Saxton Newsletter 6.11.26

Dear parents and carers,

It has been lovely to welcome everyone back after the half-term break. I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable week and that the children have returned feeling refreshed and ready for the weeks ahead.

It has been a busy first week back. Willow class children have enjoyed thinking about fireworks and the sights and sounds of a fireworks display. The year one and two children wrote some fantastic poems using some exciting new words, and the reception children have created some colourful firework collages. In Maple class they have been hard at work writing their '500 Words' stories for the BBC competition. We have been really impressed at how hard they have worked on these, and at their creative ideas.

Some of our Maple class children headed to Selby College this morning to take part in the Pokemon Schools Cup. They were a mixture of excitement and nerves, but I know, whatever the final scores, that they will have tried their best and been great representatives of our small but mighty school!

A big thank you to all the parents and carers who attended Parents' Evenings this week. It was lovely to see you all and for teachers to have the opportunity to share how well the children are doing, celebrate their achievements and talk about their next steps.

We are coming up to our busiest ( and most magical) time of year, and are busy planning the things we will be doing to celebrate this special time of year. Next week, I will share a flyer with all of the activities and dates so you know what is coming up.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
