Dear Parents and Carers
First of all can I congratulate both class 1FM
and class 1AG for their super assemblies
yesterday. Also to the dance and drama group
who entertained us so brilliantly this morning.
All of the children were a credit to their classes,
their school and to you their parents and carers.
What a wealth of talent we have here at
Wilthorpe.Well done boys and girls!
As we come to the end of the spring term, I
would like to say a huge thank you to all
parents and carers for the help and support you
have given the school this term. I hope you
have a lovely Easter break (hopefully with some
fine weather) and that you enjoy the
extra time you have with your
children.
Mrs Brady
Talk homework;
“Why do children need to play? And
should adults play every day too?”
Design an Easter Egg
Congratulations to Grace
Rushforth and Ellie Stott in
year 5 who won an Easter Egg
each in the Provide Education
Competition.
Play Equipment
At both the Moon and the Stars, only if
children are supervised by their parents may
they play on the pirate ship or the trim trail at
the end of the school day. Additionally, no-one
may play on the trim trail in the Stars
building if the grass is wet. This is always the
case in the mornings so please do not let your
children play on the trim trail on the way in
to school.
Pupil gate at the Stars Building is locked at
3.45pm.
The school does not accept any responsibility
for accidents on the play equipment outside of
school hours.
