πŸŒŸπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒ OPAL Playtime Donations Alert! πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŸ

Dear families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! πŸŽ‰ To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any old pots and pans, baking trays and sieves that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week! πŸ“Έ

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! πŸ’–

Y2 Trip to Bridlington

Dear Y2 families

As part of our new topic, ‘Rivers, Seas and Oceans’ we are excited to inform you that all Year 2 classes will be going on a school visit to the seaside at Bridlington! We hope to make a memorable day for the children and further their understanding of life at sea and on coast.

The children will have a full day on the beach making sandcastles, paddling in the sea, picnic lunch and a whole year group sing song! The visit will take place on Thursday, 16th July 2026. Bridlington is quite a distance from school so for us to get a full day at the seaside we aim to leave school at 8.15am, so please arrive at school at 8am. We expect to return to school by 4pm. If there are any delays, the office team will contact you by 3.30pm. Please make sure your contact details are up to date at the school office.

The cost of the trip is £15 per child. This covers the cost of the coach, and an ice cream at the seaside. This is now available on the arbor app to consent and pay in full or instalments, alternatively you can bring your bank card into the school office. We cannot take children without your consent.

We advise children bring a backpack with their things for the day. Please can all children bring a bottle of water (no fizzy drinks please) and a change of clothes. All children will be provided with a free packed lunch by school.

All children must wear sensible clothing and shoes. They will also need to wear a warm, weather-proof coat. Please ensure your child’s name is written in all their clothes.

If the weather is warm, they will also need to wear a hat and sun-cream to protect them. Please ensure you apply suncream on the morning before the visit and put some in your child’s bag as school staff are not permitted to apply suncream to children’s skin during the day.

If you have any further concerns or queries about the trip, we advise you speak to your child’s class teacher and check all medical information is correct at the school office.
