A MESSAGE FROM MRS WINTER
Dear Families,
We have had a fabulous day today celebrating world book day! The children have performed poems in assembly this afternoon and I am so proud of each and every one of them for their courageous performances.
I have a couple of staffing updates. Miss Wylie is no longer working with us, we thank Miss Wylie for everything she has done for all children at Staynor Hall, past and present and we wish her all the very best. Miss Wynn will be returning from maternity leave shortly after the Easter break but you may see her in school before that as she comes in to spend time with the children. Miss Wynn will be teaching the children in Team Calder (Mr Willson will still also spend time teaching in Team Calder).
On 20th March we are running our Easter bingo event again which was very popular last year! Please see below to book tickets.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Winter
ATTENDANCE
Weekly Attendance - 04.03.2024 to 08.03.2024..docxCOOK SCHOOL
What's Cooking?
Team Derwent and Team Dove 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 continue to join me in Cook School to make more delicious Libum. Team Foss will also begin to attend Cook School and they will be making a Sweet Cheesecake which is very similar to the Libum Bread but looks more like a cake. They will also be making a typical Roman Salad to go with their Sweet Cheesecake.

COMMUNI-TEA
We are running our very popular community reading cafe again throughout March at 8:45 - 9:15am.
This is in aid of raising money for a local community charity called Communitea- they support those with mental health concerns in our local area.
We invite you into school to read with your child and to enjoy a drink and a biscuit or cake for £1 per person.
Please can you let us know by completing this form if you will be joining us, and how many people you will be bringing.
ROCK YOUR SOCKS - WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. 1 in 800 children are born with down syndrome. As many of you may know Jonah in Team Aire has Down syndrome and we would love to raise awareness of his condition. Jonah is very well-loved throughout school and it is important for everyone to have an awareness of what Down Syndrome is.
World Down Syndrome day is celebrated on the 21st of March each year. This is because it highlights the uniqueness of the 21st chromosome being split into 3 (trisomy). The day supports individuals in having their own voice and enabling them to be included.
To raise awareness of Down Syndrome people wear odd socks on World Down Syndrome day and to show your support, we invite you to send your children to school with odd socks on Thursday 21st March.
EASTER BONNET
Friday 22nd March
Children can come to school with their bonnets and can take them straight into their classroom.
You are then invited to come into school at the following times to see the children parade with their bonnet and watch the prizes be given out for the winning bonnets.
1:30 EYFS
2:00 KS2
2:30 KS1
If the weather is looking promising we will ask parents to stand on the inside of the playground and children walk round the daily mile line to parade them.
KS1 WORKSHOP
On Monday 8th April, we have an exciting KS1 workshop for the full morning which will be delivered by DanTastic Education.
Next half terms topic focuses on 'how Britain has changed since the 1960s' and we have organised a really engaging and exciting 1960s workshop.
The team at DanTastic will be coming in to work with all the KS1 children and we are really looking forward to it!
We are asking for a voluntary contribution of £6.50 per child and payment can be made via ParentPay.
Thank you for your continued support.
