Staynor Hall CP Academy

The children in Team Calder and Team Humber have had a visit today from our local MP, Kier Mather, who was so impressed with their challenging questions about the recycling of electronic waste and it being carried out safely and responsibly. The children talked about how as a country we send lots of our recycling to countries such as West Africa and that we should provide equipment to ensure the people living there are safe and well and are not impacted in a negative way as a result of this. The children really did make Kier think about some of his responses! A big well done to both of these class teams!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Winter

EAST RIDING SAFEGUARDING INFORMATION

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please see below a message from the East Riding Safeguarding in Education team regarding a national WhatsApp group they have been made aware of. We felt it was important that you are made aware of the nature of this WhatsApp group in case it is something your children mention or are a part of. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please let us know.

"We have been made aware of a concern regarding a National WhatsApp group. One of our schools has been alerted by parents to a WhatsApp group their children are being added to, that currently has 800+ members.

This appears to be asking users to add all their contacts to create the largest group in the world (WhatsApp can currently have a max of 1024), without adults being present. The concern is the content within the group - the majority of users appear to be minors, although there is no way to verify this. Aside from the general bad language and online bullying and harassment, there is evidence of racist, homophobic and sexually explicit language, plus pornographic images/ GIFS."

Thank you in advance for continuing to help us to support your children.

COOK SCHOOL

What's Cooking?

Team Derwent have been in Cook School this week making a Roman Sweet Bread called Libum. (Libum is a small bread-like cake that was made of wheat flour and cheese and offered during sacrificial rituals or to household gods) The children have learnt about Ricotta cheese and honey and have used their measuring and weighing skills to make the delicious sweet breads.

Next week, Team Dove will be joining me in Cook School to continue making more delicious Libum.

WORLD BOOK DAY LUNCH

ORDERING SCHOOL LUNCH REMINDER

Hutchinsons Catering have asked us to send a reminder in relation to booking school lunches.

Today there were approximately 65 meals catered for that were not booked. I'm sure you can appreciate the complexities of catering for large numbers, this is made even more impossible when lunches are not booked.

When situations like this arise we have no option but to offer children the hot meal option (which many children do not always like).

As always we appreciate your support going forward. If you are having problems accessing the Appetite system please contact the school office.
