Dear parents and carers,

Ensuring that we can contact you in an emergency is of utmost importance and from an attendance and safeguarding point of view it is also important that we can contact you if your child is not accounted for after morning registration.

We recognise that as parents you may not always have access to your phone, do not have signal or can miss phone calls. With this in mind it is important that we not only have parents and carers numbers (mobile numbers, home numbers and work numbers), but that we also have emergency contacts for all our children. 

We ask that each child has at least three emergency contacts on their file should we not be able to contact parents and carers. These emergency contacts can be other family members (as long as they are over 18), friends or neighbours. Emergency contacts have proved valuable in contacting parents/carers in emergency situations. 

It is also important that you double check that all contact details are up to date. If you or your emergency contacts have changed mobile number or address recently please inform school as soon as possible, to ensure that the information we have is correct and up to date.

If you need to change any of your details or add an emergency contact please email admin.shs@ebor.academy with the details.

Thank you all very much and enjoy your weekend.

Warm regards

Mr Metcalfe

What's Cooking? 

Team Dove continued in Cook School this week making a delicious chicken stew.  They have had the opportunity to use a range of cooking techniques, primarily measuring, peeling, cutting, chopping and also using a hob.  They all worked extremely hard and showed me that they already have such a good working knowledge of working safely and hygienically.  

Several discussions were had relating to the ingredients we were using, particularly the potatoes and chicken.  The children spent some time looking at the Eatwell Guide and were able to place a variety of foods into the relevant sections on the guide.  The children also enjoyed learning about the seasonality of fruit and vegetables and decided that summer was definitely a great time for fruit because strawberries and raspberries grow really well.

Well done to all the children in Team Dove over the last two weeks, you have been brilliant.  Your attitude to your learning is so amazing and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Next week, I am looking forward to working with Team Derwent.
