Dear Parents,

On Friday we had a fantastic Tour De France day. We made bunting, made bicycle wheel pizzas, in houses created big art, had a picnic and sang ‘Daisy, Daisy’ – the only bicycle song we could remember all the words of! I know lots of you enjoyed the Tour De France on Sunday. What an experience.

Talking of amazing experiences on offer in Glossop this coming weekend is Glossop Music Festival. On Saturday at 10.30 there will be a Children’s Concert in Glossop Parish Church. A stellar cast will be performing ‘The Carnival of The Animals’. Tickets are £5 for adults £3 for children available from Bay Tree Books or on the door. You will be able to go to that and the Family Fun Day. There are five concerts that make up this festival details from Tom Elliot 07813108471 or on line at www.glossopconcerts.co.uk . We are very fortunate to have such a wealth of high quality events available to us.

From one stellar performance to another. Rehearsals for the production are coming on a pace. If you haven’t requested tickets yet you had better do so fast as any spares will be allocated tomorrow.

Some of the children involved in making the Girls Freedom Film were invited to present it to a County Council Committee on Monday. Unfortunately I couldn’t take them all. The children who went were a credit to the school talking eloquently about their work. The council officers were very impressed, as they should be.

Today is the last swim of the year. I do hope lots of the children will get the chance to keep up their swimming over the summer.

The Kestrels will be leading our assembly on Friday 11th July and Ospreys on Friday 18th July. Please join us for these if you can.

The PTA is meeting Tonight in school at 3.30. We will put a film on in the hall for your children during the meeting. Please try to come along if you are available even if you have never been to a PTA meeting before.

Friday 11th July is a non-uniform day, we are asking for bottle donations for PTA events.

Friday 11th July is the Key Stage 2 Adventure Walk. Remember the children need a packed lunch and appropriate footwear and clothes.

Family Fun day is nearly here HOORAY! It is on Saturday 2.30-4.30. This was such a great event last year that it is back by popular demand. It sounds even bigger and better than last year, if that is possible. We still need some more volunteers to help with this event. If you could spare a bit of the afternoon to help let Deb Myhill know.

If you are thinking about what to do over the summer Glossop Cricket Club is organising a summer cricket school 11th – 14th August 10-3 for children in Y3 upwards. The week will cost only £60. If you are interested contact Roger Mays 01457 764366, pick up a registration form from the office or get more details at Friday Night Practice. We have also received a flyer about a family festival being held in Buxton 1st – 17th August more details can be found on Facebook: Buxtonfamilyfestival.
