Class photos
The photographer is visiting on Wednesday
15th (N.B. changed from tomorrow). You will
be able to order class photos soon after.
Internet safety
Internet safety is everyone’s responsibility.
We have concerns so have hosted workshops
in school and recently sent home
communication from PC Adrian Fryer. We
are now inviting all parents to attend a
meeting with PC Jayne Grace on Wednesday
6th May at 7 p.m. in our school hall. The
evening is about us understanding the
dangers and knowing how best to support
our children.
Farmers’ Market
Our second Farmers’ Market is being
organised by Class 5 as part of their Food
and Farming project. The Kids’ Committee
and Gardening Club will also be involved. It
will be held on Friday 24 th April in the hall at
2.30 – 4.30pm. If anyone has friends or
neighbours who might have produce to sell,
please ask them if they would like to have a
stall – eggs (we ran out last year!), jams,
honey, cheeses, pies…the list is long. Please
email replies to Class 5 on the admin email
address. Any donations of flower or
vegetable seeds or small plant pots would be
most appreciated for our school seedlings
stall. Thank you.
Wray Fair
We are seeking volunteers to make a
scarecrow. It would be displayed at Wray
Fair over the Bank Holiday weekend. Can you
help?
St Stephen’s Primary School
Class 5 will be welcoming visitors next
Monday. We will then be planning to spend
an enjoyable day in Bradford, making friends
and learning about others.
Clubs
Mrs Colledge’s rounders club starts after
school on Wednesdays, beginning next week.
Forms will be sent home tomorrow to any
children in KS2 who are interested in coming
along.
