A MESSAGE FROM MRS WINTER
Dear Parents and Carers
It's been a busy week back after a much needed Easter break. The children have come back to school with a spring in their step and they are looking forward to new learning that is taking place!
The summer term is always such a busy one with school trips, sports day, SATs, transition days, reports, the summer fair and so much more! We are also looking forward to a Staynor Hall first, our musical production of The Wizard of Oz, which will take place in June. The children and staff are working incredibly hard and we cannot wait for the final performance!
We are very much looking forward to sharing our learning with you this term through our class assemblies, please see the dates below for each class. We are also looking forward to welcoming you into school to celebrate the King Charles III Coronation. Please see the information below for details.
We are always looking for parents who may be able to support us in school, whether that is by coming in and listening to children read, supporting with school trips or events such as the summer fair. If you feel you are able to offer us some or your time, either on a regular basis or occasionally we would love to hear from you, please speak to Mrs Winter, your child's teacher or email/phone the school office.
Fingers cross the sun stays out over the weekend!
With best wishes
Mrs Winter

If your child is in Tiny Steps or Esk, you are invited into school to have lunch at 11.30 a.m. with your child (school lunch that day will be a special picnic bag). Please come to the staff entrance. It is our intention for everyone to have their lunch outside (weather permitting). You are welcome to bring a chair and/or picnic blanket and don't forget to bring your own lunch.
If your child is in Reception to Year 6, you are invited into school at 12.00 p.m. to have lunch on the school field with your child/children (school lunch that day will be a special picnic bag). You are welcome to bring a chair and/or picnic blanket and don't forget to bring your own lunch.
Please can we ask that the lunch you bring to school is nut free.
At 12.30 p.m. the children will showcase their crowns in a crown parade.
Flag waving is highly encouraged!!
If anyone requires any resources to make their crown, please email admin.shs@ebor.academy and they will pass on a message to your child's class teacher.

What's Cooking
Children have settled straight back into Cook School this week and have travelled to Brazil! Team Calder have been making Pao de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) and have been using lots of skills including measuring, weighing, blending and baking. They have learnt about Tapioca Flour and Cornflour and considered the ingredients they have used and why.
Our Phunky Foods Ambassadors would like to share an important message with you this week focusing on eating a healthy breakfast.
Online safety
Many of our pupils enjoy playing games on consoles and we wanted to make you aware of Roblox and games that children can play within this platform. Ro-Meet has been brought to our attention where you can talk to strangers, it is attractive to children through the graphics used and children could receive inappropriate messages through this. It is our intention that children enjoy playing computer games online and can stay safe by making parents and carers aware of this. Attached is a short pdf file explaining about Roblox further.
