Greg James Tandem Cycle Challenge
What a great time we had on Tuesday afternoon cheering Greg James on as he cycled by on his 1000km challenge. The children were incredible and so well behaved while waiting for him to pass by. Everyone who passed us in their vehicle got a huge cheer, lots of fun was had by all and smiles shared.
Comic Relief
Today we had a wonderful assembly, we were entertained by the children telling us their along with sharing these in their classes this week. We are so proud of everyone, they displayed confidence and charisma and I am sure there are some future comedians among them.
Along with this, we shared Gregg James, and Jay’s important message to us all, the importance of sharing smiles, looking out for each other and being a team within our communities and the difference this can make to each other when we are there for one another. I, for one, feel so proud and lucky to be part of our very caring community here at Snaith.
Today, we raised £320.10 for Comic Relief if you would still like to give or you have forgotten to send your child with a £1 for wear it blue/red, it’s not too late, you can donate via this link. Thank you

Dodgeball
Well done to all the children who took part in the year 3/4 SSP Dodgeball Finals at The Snaith School on Tuesday. A great time was certainly had by all! After playing each team twice, Mr Clarkson’s class and Mrs Clarkson’s class were tied with the same points. The event was to be decided by a play off. After an intense few minutes, each team had 5 players remaining. With seconds to play, Mrs Clarkson’s class took a vital catch to take victory and the medals

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).
