This week

Good morning, Yesterday we supported Ben Smith, he is running 401 marathons in 401 days. He passed through Sturton and stopped to talk to the children (I have attached some pictures). He is raising money for two anti-bullying charities. He asked me to share this link with you in case you wanted to make a donation. He is aiming to raise £1/4m. http://www.the401challenge.co.uk/ I am sure your child has told you about him. He was great with the children and appreciated their support. Clubs for next week are: Monday Sturton Striders Knitting Tuesday Pupil Voice Committee Basketball Thursday Hi 5 Friday Cybercoach The children in Year 6 will be sitting their SATs tests this week. These tests begin promptly at 9.00am and will take place in Class 3. The children have been working extremely hard and we wish them good luck as they undertake the new and more challenging tests. To ensure that the administration of the tests is followed correctly, a selection of our Governors will be making unannounced visits to school during the week. The tests are: Monday English Reading Tuesday Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling Wednesday Maths Thursday Maths There are no trumpet, guitar or violin lessons this week. On Monday afternoon at 2.45pm, the PTFA will be having a meeting to plan future activities. Please feel free to come along and support us. The children in Class 3 have their DARE workshop on Wednesday as normal. On Thursday afternoon I will be taking the Y6 pupils to Kilton Golf Club for a Tri-Golf festival. We will travel by school minibus and return for 3.30pm. School PE kit should be worn. Swimming is for Y1, 5 & 6, with Y2, 3 & 4 having PE.
