Dear Families
What a brilliant first full week back, with the return of the Year 6 children settling straight in and the Reception children settling into their new environment. We are incredibly proud of how everyone is doing.
We have a number of After School Clubs on for this half term and it is lovely to see so many children getting involved across KS1 & KS2. It was delightful to hear our Young Voices getting stuck into their first rehearsal.
Our dedicated FOSHA group are planning their Annual General Meeting where all are invited. This date will be shared with you soon. If you would like to speak to the FOSHA Chair regarding all things PTA please contact Mrs Pickard fosh.chair@ebor.academy
It is so lovely to see that we have already began getting entries for the fireworks display competition which was discussed during last week's assembly. All children have the opportunity to design the front cover of the programme for the fireworks being held at the local Community Centre.
Have a lovely weekend, with very best wishes
Mrs Winter
If you have a concern about the safety or welfare of a child in school please contact myself,
Mrs Cowling or Ms Steunou who are the safeguarding leads.
Please can we ask that your child does not ride their bikes or scooters on the school grounds.
Children are not play on the wooden trim trail before and after school.
Children are not play football on the field and playground before or after school.
As the school continues to grow the playground is getting busier and busier and it is important we keep everyone safe.
We would also like to encourage parents and children to not cross roads where visibility is reduced to ensure that roads are clear before crossing.

What's Cooking?
I have been working with children from Team Humber this week. In preparation of our annual celebration of languages and culture day, we have been making Spanish Magdalenas. Magdalenas are light Spanish lemon and olive oil muffins. The children learnt about their ingredients and demonstrated that they can work efficiently and safely. The children took their bakes home so I hope they shared them with you!
Well done Team Humber, your Magdalenas were amazing! I will be working with Team Calder next week. They will also be making Magdalenas and learning all about these delicious muffins.
