Trainers/shoes
A polite reminder that we ask that children wear black trainers for sport and black shoes for school.
Dinostar visit
Last week Reception had a fantastic visit from Dinostar. The children really enjoyed learning all about different dinosaurs, what they ate and how big they were. It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to have a hands-on experience as they looked at different artifacts, made fossil rubbings and created their own fossils. A favourite was the big Allosaurus head. The children asked lots of fantastic questions and Mr Plater commented on the great questions they asked. What a fantastic day we had.
Sport
Well done to all the children who took part in the year 5/6 boys cluster cricket event at The Snaith School on Tuesday.
The B team finished third after winning their final match against Cowick.
The A team won 3 games out of 3 to take first place.
The A team will now go through to the East Riding finals at Cottingham Cricket Club.
Year 3 First Aid
Mrs Cromack has again been supporting Y3 children in learning vital first aid skills. Lessons that one day might save a life. We are so grateful for her continued support.
East Riding Mental Health Support Teams working in our school.
This week the children were introduced to Sarah Hogg and Andrea Fletcher who are our new Mental Health Support Team workers who will be working with our school over the coming months, offering support to families, but also undertaking workshops and assemblies too.

Parking and Safe Driving
I continue to be concerned by reports of children not being safe when out and about, including on their way to school.
This week we have had reports of children running in the road when there is oncoming traffic. While we focus on this in assemblies, please reiterate the importance of being safe with your children.
PTA

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. If a child is collected mid-session for a term-time holiday, the whole session will be unauthorised.
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).
