Dear Parents,

Well that was an exciting end to sports day wasn’t it! At least we got a lot of it done before the heavens opened and drenched us all. We will take the children out to finish the races when we have time and the weather on our side.

Monday was an exciting day with the most important polling of the year taking place, never mind the referendum St Luke’s was electing their officers for next year. I am so proud of all the candidates who bravely put themselves up for election and prepared fantastic speeches. Each and every one of them convinced me it should be them. I wish they could all be elected they certainly all deserve to be. The results were incredibly close requiring several recounts. However the nature of elections is that one candidate wins so I am very pleased to announce that our Prime Minister next year is Holly Griffiths-Jones, our Deputy Prime Minister is Jack Barnes and our Chancellor of The Exchequer is Matthew Barnes.

Today the Year 4s are playing with the Halle Orchestra – so exciting and the Boys cricket squad are in the High Peak Final, weather permitting. As if that was not enough excitement tomorrow some of our girls are going to Buxton to watch the women’s cycle tour and take part in some cycle related activities. Due to the concert and Ms Lee taking the girls to Buxton we have moved Harrier’s Assembly to Friday 22nd July.

We are beginning to prepare for our summer showcase concert on Tuesday 12th July 7pm. It will include performances by the choir, the orchestra and children who learn instruments in school. If your child learns an instrument, including voice, outside school and would like to be part of the concert they need to see Mrs Hillier.

On Wednesday 22nd June The Arch Bishop of Canterbury is coming to Glossop. This is a huge honour for Glossop and recognises the work of Whitfield Parish. He will be in Norfolk Square for a celebration between 8-9.45pm. Everyone is welcome, though I know it is too late for the children.

I know everyone is always keen to know which teacher will be in which class next year so here is the list: Reception Mrs Hillier, Y1 Mr Cooke, Y2 Ms Nicholls, Y3 Mrs McLaren / Mr Warburton, Y4 Ms Lee, Y5 Mrs Clayton / Mr Warburton, Y6 Miss Byron.

It is finally almost here tomorrow is the PTA Summer Fun event straight from school, it is £1 entry per child with free scoot n skate and entry into the treasure hunt. All children participating in scoot n skate must have an adult/parent supervising them and must wear a helmet. There will be an inflatable slide, face painting, food and many other things.
