Welcome to the Summer Term at...
Well the weather didn’t dampen our spirits last Saturday as lots of children arrived at school ready to trek around the woodland to complete the Gruffalo and Heroes & Villains Treasure Hunts. Over 70 children completed the Treasure Hunts, with Zeb Wooding from Class 2 and Ami-Leigh Heppenstall from Class 8 each winning a bundle of gifts including gift vouchers to various local attractions, toys and sweets. We hope everyone who came along enjoyed the afternoon and we would like to say a big thank you for supporting this event and also a big thank you to everyone who helped throughout the day. We also received lots of donations of teddies for our “Pot Luck Teddy” game, so thank you to everyone who generously donated their teddies.
Keep checking the PFA page and website for details of how much money this event raised and where your money is being spent.

There has been more good news for our kitchen with another 5 star rating for kitchen hygiene. On top of that the menu continues to be modified in light of the children’s preferences (something we were unable to do before). The revised menu is on the website so check there for more information.
The school choir raised the roof at Southgate Methodist Church last Friday evening as they joined with St Patricks, Elland C.E., Greetland and West Vale in the Elland Rotary Choir Festival. The evening was a fun celebration of the quality of singing in the Elland Cluster of Schools and everyone who attended really enjoyed it. The choir sang four songs written by the late, great Buddy Holly and even dressed the part as you can see!

The Reception children had a fantastic time at Kirklees Light Railway on Monday. They went on a steam train from Clayton West to Shelley, where they really enjoyed going through the long dark tunnel. The children watched the engine being turned round on the turntable and went into the engine shed to find out more about how the steam trains worked. They also had a sneaky peak in the engine workshop where one of the engines, Badger, was being repaired. After a little time to play in the playground it was time to ride home on the double decker bus. Here are a few of the children’s comments about their day.
“I liked going on the train.” Charliboy
“I enjoyed riding on the bus.” Chloe
“It was fun playing in the playground.” Ella
“I fell asleep on the way home!” Niamh
