This Week’s Attendance 96%
School closes today for the Easter Break and re-opens to children on Monday 13th April.
Math’s Challenge
Congratulations to the children who attended the Year 5 Maths Challenge at The Snaith School yesterday. The two teams took both first and second place. We are incredibly proud of you all.
Car Parking Facilities.
We continue to be aware of the difficulties regarding traffic along Bourne Mill Balk road and the congestion that can occur at peak times at drop off and collection.
We are delighted to share that, after the Easter Break, the Town Council, together with the Football Club are now able to offer parking in the car park at the top of Bourne Mill Balk Road, near the football pitches. This is accessible via the top of Punton Walk.
The car park will be open from 8.15am in the morning and will close by 4pm at the end of the school day.
We would like to urge all parents who can walk to school to do so and if you do need to come via car, to use the car park that will be available. We will monitor this over the next half term to ensure that its use is commensurate with the time given by staff and volunteers from the Council and School to provide this facility.
Tough Runner
Details of Tough Runner, and a copy of the sponsorship form was emailed yesterday, giving further information of how to consent and sponsor your child for this amazing event. The children also brought home a copy of the sponsorship form.
Easter Story
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Clamp who came to school on Tuesday and gave an assembly about the Easter Story. Today children from Year 1 upwards will be bringing home a book which Mr and Mrs Clamp gave to the children, it tells the Easter story along with games and pictures to colour.
School Grounds
Please ensure that once you have collected your child at the end of the school day, you leave the school site promptly. For safety and insurance reasons, children should not play on the equipment or run around the school grounds after school.
If your child brings a scooter to school, please make sure it is not ridden on site; scooters should be walked with to prevent accidents. Thank you for your cooperation.
Payments for Dinners, Wraparound Care and Nursery
Please can you ensure that all outstanding money is paid up to date. Dinners should be paid for in advance of the meal being taken, wraparound care sessions should be paid at the end of the month the sessions were taken, and Nursery should be paid every half term.
Thank you to everyone who pays promptly - it really does make a difference, and helps with the financial year end.
OnLine Safety Newsletter
Last week the presentation from the Cyber Crime Police officer to parents of children in Y5/6 was extremely informative. We intend to undertake another one in due course for parents of children in Y3 and 4.

Sport
Kinball
Well done to all the children who played at the Kinball event at The Snaith School on Wednesday evening.
Heading into the final game, Snaith’s boys, Snaith’s girls and Cowick were all tied on the same points.
After a close battle, Snaith’s boys won the game by just one point to take first place overall. Snaith girls and Cowick finished joint second.
A great time was certainly had by all. Thank you Mrs Willden and her young leaders for hosting another fantastic event.
We would like to wish all children and families a wonder Easter break and thank you for your continued support – ensuring our school ‘Shines’.

An Absence from School for Exceptional Circumstances Request Form, must be completed for all absences (not medical). https://www.snaithprimary.org.uk/page/?title=Attendance+%26amp%3B+Punctuality&pid=77
Please can I remind parents that school is not able to authorise any holidays during term time. Therefore, it is important to consult these dates before making any booking. Penalty Notice Fines are issued on a per parent per child basis for term time leave of 5 (10 sessions) or more consecutive days.
As school is in session during these times, if your child does not attend school due to an unauthorised absence, school will not provide work for this period of time as children are expected to attend school to undertake their learning.
Penalty Notice Fines are also considered, if a child has 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in 10 school weeks.
We are committed to improving achievement through attendance, and any pupil whose attendance falls below 97% becomes a cause for concern. Attendance below 90% is classed by the Government as persistent absence. If a child’s attendance falls below 90% we refer all cases to the Education Welfare Office at East Riding Council, who is likely to contact parents directly to give support and discuss the matter.
(Parent, in relation to a child or young person, includes any person who is not a parent of the child but who has parental responsibility for the child, or who has care of them).
