Dear Parents/Carers,

I would like to begin by sharing some excellent news! Last week, eight pupils from Year 5 and 6 went to the PAT Games Quadkids Athletics Competition at The Kings School. The pupils took part in a 75m sprint, standing long jump, 600m run and vortex howler throw and I am very proud to announce that we won the competition with an overall 1237 points! This is an amazing achievement and is testament to the sporting strengths the pupils have at Larks Hill. Well done everyone!

This week, a selection of Year 6 pupils went to the West Yorkshire Cricket Championships and won two of the games. This is another excellent sporting achievement. I am always very proud of the maturity and sportsmanship displayed by our pupils when they play against schools within our Trust and beyond. Well done everyone!

To maintain a sporting theme, this week, we have had our annual visits to Go Ape for Years 3, 4 and 5. This is always an excellent experience and provides our pupils with the opportunity to overcome fears, work in collaboration and build resilience whilst working at their own pace. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed their visit and were very excited upon their return with many feeling proud that they had achieved more than they ever expected.

Next week is our Career’s Week. We have many wonderful visitors in school who will speak with the children about their work. We are very much looking forward to it.

On Thursday 27th June, we will be welcoming the parents and carers of our new September starters into school from 5PM. If you have a pupil starting with us in September, we look forward to seeing you then.

On a final note, dare I say Summer may finally be upon us! Please ensure pupils are coming into school with water bottles, sun hats and sun cream and that these are clearly labelled. We also have quite a large quantity of jumpers, cardigans and PE kit left in cloakrooms each evening without names so please contact your child’s class teacher if you believe these items may be yours.

I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend and enjoys the sunshine!

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs Adams
