Dear Parents,

The Merlin’s had an amazing time meeting Austin Byrne on Tuesday. What an inspiring man. He was a gunner in the Merchant Navy in World War Two. His ship was torpedoed 100 miles north of the Russian Coast. He survived four days in a small boat in arctic conditions and was eventually rescued by the Russian costal service. Only he and one other man in the boat survived with all their limbs, the others all succumbed to frost bite. The children have worked with Adam Robertson to combine their interview with archive footage and some of their own footage to create a film. If you would like to hear more about this project remember to tune in to the BBC on Sunday from 11.30ish to catch our children talking about what they have done.

The choir are sounding lovely and I am really looking forward to the choir festival on Friday. Remember if you are not able to come to the concert 3.30 – 5.30 at Glossopdale, Glossop Site please pick your children up from there.

Tag Rugby had to be cancelled yesterday because of the rain. It has been rescheduled for next Wednesday 13th May. If your child is in the team and will not now be able to play please let us know as soon as possible.

The weather is looking good for Sports Day a week today (Thursday 14th), only light showers are forecast. You never know this might be the year Sports Day doesn’t have to be postponed! The children need to have their PE kit in school. We will provide everything else they need including drinks. You are invited to join us for a 1.30 start.

Kestrels are leading our assembly on Friday 15th please join us if you can.

The Ospreys will be walking to St Philip Howard School on Friday 15th for a summer Sports Festival. They will be leaving school at 9.00. Please send them to school in their PE kit (we will send them home in it after sports day).

Friday 15th is also the night of the PTA Pamper Night. If you have not yet got your ticket and booked your treatments you need to do so soon or else you might be disappointed.

The week beginning 18th May is Walk to School Week so look out your rain coats so you are ready for this.

On Tuesday 19th May all the staff are at a meeting so after school clubs will be cancelled. PAS will still be on.
