Dear Parents,

We have had a fabulously musical week this week. The Y4s had the amazing experience of playing with The Halle Orchestra – something they will always remember. Not only to be able to listen to a first class orchestra but also to make music with them. The children were in action again playing with The Glossop Festival Orchestra on Wednesday. This time all the older children were able to come along and listen to the concert. We are so lucky to be in Glossop where such opportunities are offered to our children.

We have also had a week filled with wheels, some of our children went to Buxton to watch the women’s cycle tour and take part in a number of cyclo-cross activities. Then we had the super scoot and skate organised by the PTA. Well done and a huge thank you to everyone involved in planning what was a lovely event despite the rain trying to come down. Thank you also to everyone who came along to support it. The final figure of what was raised is not yet in but early indications are that it is over £500.

Our rounders squad had a lovely afternoon at Glossopdale taking part in the local tournament. I believe they played well and showed good sportsmanship.

Next week we are looking forward to welcoming the children joining us in September to our Reception Class. The children will be visiting in small groups across the week.

Tomorrow the Year 3s will be leading assembly and on Friday 1st July Kestrels will be in charge.

Remember school is closed to the children on Thursday 7th & 8th July as the staff have training days.
