Merry Christmas everyone!
This week has been a very festive one but also an emotional one with some goodbyes.
A huge well done to the children who took part in the YIK Carol Concert at York Minster on Saturday. The children did us proud in a very unfamiliar setting. Thank you to parents and other families who joined us on the day.
Sarah Sinnott, Twigs Class teacher, is leaving Hob Moor Oaks today. She has been at Hob Moor since April 2007 and in that time has worked with many pupils and staff. Sarah has also been our Moving and Handling Coordinator. She has worked to ensure that all our staff are trained, and Moving and Handling Plans are written and in place for pupils. We wish Sarah lots of luck as she moves to an exciting new role with City of York Council. Goodbye Sarah!
We also say farewell to Eve, Lucia, Hannah and Aqeelah. All of you will be greatly missed. We wish you lots of luck in your next adventures; please keep in touch.
Last but not least, we say goodbye to Pippa who will be starting her maternity leave. We wish her all the best as she prepares to welcome her new baby in the new year.
We look forward to welcoming Sophie, Sarah, Catherine and Bryony to our team in January.
Looking ahead, I am excited to see you all in February for Woodland and Forest Phase “Hob Moor Oaks at the Musicals”. The performances are on 7th February at 10am and 9th February at 1:30pm. Timings may change slightly but we will keep you updated.
I want to say “Thank You” to all of the dedicated Hob Moor Oaks staff for their energy, creativity and support throughout this busy autumn term. Please have a wonderful Christmas holiday; rest and recuperate ready for 2024!
Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
