This half term has gone by so quickly, however we have had a few shorter weeks due to
the bank holidays! Nevertheless, it has still been a busy one. Forest Phase have taken
part in educational visits to White Quarry Farm. Woodland and Orchard Phases have
their visits after half term.
Did any of you spot the article about the HMO Knavesmire Sponsored 10K in the York
Press earlier this week? Here’s the link if you would like to read it.

Thank you to all of the families who have signed up for the tomorrow’s event. You will be receiving more information today via ParentHub plus a paper letter with
your child. This year’s theme is Superheroes and Princesses, so get those costumes ready!
There is no expectation for families and children to run or complete the entire distance; just do as much as you want to do! You can run, walk, wheel or even
scoot your way around.
If you would like to come to spectate and cheer us on, you are more than welcome; we would love to see lots of familiar face as we take part. We will be starting at
1pm promptly.
We will have a small drinks stand with some donations from Tesco. Please make sure you come prepared with your own refreshments as well. The weather forecast
for Saturday is looking good so please ensure your child/children are dressed appropriately. You may even need suncream and hats!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has shared the sponsorship link with family and friends. The link is below for you to continue to do this. We have already
received over £1500 in donations!

What a lovely sunny week we’ve had. Please remember to send in suncream and a sun hat for your child. We will apply suncream during the day, but we
ask that parents apply it before school to make sure that children are fully protected from the sun.

This week, as part of our curriculum, we have had a number of visitors in school. Jessie’s Fund continue with their music sessions in Seedlings, Trunks, Oak Leaves & Twigs.
Pupils in Forest Phase had a fantastic introductory session to wheelchair basketball with Harrogate Hammerheads.
We’ve also have a group of pupils from Oak Trees, Woods, Oak Leaves and Branches working with York Theatre Royal as part of their Playhouse project.

Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that you all had a lovely Easter holiday with your children and families. I’m sure you will all agree that the sunshine and warmer weather helped to
make the holidays just that little bit better.
It was wonderful to see so many smiley children arriving at school on Tuesday morning. There were lots of children who were keen to be straight back
into their learning and classroom routines.
Our curriculum themes for this half term are: Orchard Phase – “ We are on the Move”, Woodland Phase – “Market Place” and Forest Phase – “Farm to
Fork”
I hope you enjoy reading your child’s class curriculum newsletter to see their learning for the Summer 1 term.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
