Dear Parents/Carers,

We have had a busy week here at Larks Hill being creative in our Harvest workshops with parents and football matches with Carleton Park, as well as Year 3 & 4 girls taking part in the Pontefract Acadamies Trust football festival. We also celebrated World Mental Health Day wearing our pyjamas and holding an ever popular bun sale which raised a whopping £264.17. A huge thank you to everyone that contributed.

I was absolutely blown away by this home made rainbow bun cake. We think this Year 4 baker deserves a Hollwood Handshake!
