Isabel Strecker More FOSS A huge thank you to Becky Youdan (Olivia and Georgie’s mum) who has submitted an entry to the PTA UK Most Challenging Outdoor Spaces Competition. She has cited the benefits of the provision of an outdoor learning environment which will further enhance the children’s understanding of the outdoor world and its inhabitants as well as giving us a much needed area for reflection which, as we are a church school, is a requirement by both the Christian Church and OFSTED - SMSC (Spiritual, Social, Moral and Cultural development) Thank you, Becky and we will wait in anticipation of a positive outcome. Birthdays Happy Birthday to Neave Romans who celebrated her 10th birthday on Monday and to Abbey Davies who celebrated her 8th birthday yesterday. I hope you both had wonderful birthdays!

Today the awards are as follows: Best Work – Henry Ward London Marathon I thought you might like to know , if you haven’t already heard a very proud mum talking about it, that my son finished the London Marathon in an amazing time of 3.19.45. It was a magnificent event as many of you who watched it on TV will know with runners dressed as a shoe, batman and an ostrich joined serious runners and disabled athletes to complete the gruelling 26.2 miles around the streets of our capital. Best Handwriting – Olivia Youdan Well done to you both! Pen Licence A well deserved Pen Licence has been awarded to Clara Hinchliffe Martinez whose writing as a Year One pupil is beautifully neat. Well done, Clara! I managed to see him at three different points in the race: near the Cutty Sark, Canary Wharf and near the end at Westminster. My heart skipped a beat by Winston Churchill’s statue as Patrick was obviously ‘hurting’ as all the other runners were but the pride was immense as he was presented with the official medal which he wore for a very long time after the event! Well done to Mark Hodgson (Katie and Alfie’s dad) who also completed the race in a fantastic 3.37.50. Football Party Night Everybody had a great time at Party Night – there was a great atmosphere and lots of dancing going on. In total we have raised £1,970. A big thank you to everyone who helped organise the event, the people who attended and the very kind people who have donated their time or services in the auction in aid of raising money for the school. Thank you also to Ben and Rachel for hosting the event at Dintingdale Resturant. On Thursday the 30th of April the Year Three and Four boys played football against Barkston Ash and Barkston won 4 - 2 . MR G-C said that we all played really well. We did notwin but we tried our best. Waves was in goal Taylor H was in defence, I was right mid-field Theo mid- field, Taylor G left mid field. And finally Baylee was striker and Taylor scored both goals. By Alfred Ward.

We have received a large suitcase full of items used in the House of Commons from Parliament UK which we will be sharing with the children so that they can get a picture of what goes on in London especially as we are nearing the Election Day. Here is Katie Hodgson ready to take on the ministers in the House of Maple! Village Hall Bookings can now be made via the new Village Hall website: www.saxtonvillagehall.co.uk You can email the Village Hall with any other queries on [email protected] Saxton Scarecrow Festival Sunday 28th June 2015 Due to the fantastic success in 2013 of Saxton’s first Scarecrow Festival it has been agreed to hold a second Scarecrow Festival on Sunday 28th June 2015. Last year we had over 30 scarecrows in the village so we are keen for everyone to once again get involved and make a scarecrow, but don’t worry you if don’t live in the village we have plenty of room to showcase scarecrows so if you are keen to make one we will find it a good home. (There are prizes to be won for the top three scarecrows voted for by the public). There will be lots to see and do on the day and everyone is welcome. Please contact Clare Barrowman if you are interested in making a scarecrow at [email protected] or if you would like to help out in any way then please do get in touch. It would be helpful to have an indication of your interest before the 5th of March when we have our first planning meeting at 7:30pm in Saxton Village Hall – again everyone is welcome.
