A huge well done to one of our parents and school Governors for today’s achievements at Wombwell Library!  Sabeena Chavan (alongside Amanda Bradshaw) organised a fun and creative morning for Wombwell children and families.  It was thoroughly enjoying and amazing to see so many people attending the event!  The children loved the creative arts on offer and also the  fun Phonics activities to support the children’s learning in the holiday times.  In total there were 29 adults and 46 children in attendance...a HUGE turnout and one which I am very proud and pleased with.  Mrs Chavan’s vision really came true for the children of Wombwell...something fun for our children to do!  Thank you to Sabeena Chavan, Amanda Bradshaw, the Wombwell Ward Alliance for making this possible and for the families of Wombwell for attending and having fun together!

We are celebrating 'Silly Sock Friday' on 5.4.19 to help our school community to raise awareness of ASD.  We have a substantial number of children through school with ASD and we embrace their differences and uniqueness - we are so proud of all of our school community.  Please support the school in raising awareness and celebrate everyone, TEAM Park Street!

What an amazing evening we had at Park Street tonight!  Easter Disco!  We handed out lots of chocolate rewards for the best dancer, the best face puller and the best musical statue!  Lots of money has been raised and it will all go back to the children in the form of books!  Well done Park Street, us adults had such a fun time!  Thank you, it is a pleasure spending time with you!

We are currently working hard to overhaul all of our reading books in school and place a new order to get lots more new books in to Park Street!  So we can successfully audit what we already have, please could parents take a look at home and send any Park Street books back in to school - quite often they can get left at home or put on your book shelves.  If you could return any books ASAP, which are currently unused, that would be great!

Happy Red Nose Day Park Street!  What a wonderful day we have had!  Well done to everyone for being so enthusiastic!  We have 'worn it red', done a bun sale (yum yum), sold red noses and had a Strictly Come Dancing 'dance off' from our staff team!  Great fun for all and no doubt a lot of money has been raised!  Can't wait to hear the final amount!  Well done TEAM Park Street for being so proactive in raising money for a worthy cause.  Thank you to our School Council for organising the day for us.

It has been really wonderful to see so many of our parents at school today reading with their child, as part of Book Week in school.  Thank you to all of the parents who were able to attend - the children were so excited to see you and enjoy their favourite books with you!  Hopefully we will be setting up a monthly read...watch this space!  Thank you to Miss McGinnes for organising the event!

Somehow it is that time of year again when our Year 5 children take part in Bikeability!  I have been so pleased and proud to hand out a number of stickers today to the TEAM members who have excelled, not only with their biking skills, but also with their hard working attitudes and listening skills!  Go Team LG!

It was delightful to hear about Erin and Emily's news in assembly this morning...they have done a sponsored walk around Manvers Lake and raised £89 to go to the 'World Wide Fund for Nature', to look after endangered animals!  This is really amazing girls - a massive well done from the TEAM!  What kind, considerate and caring girls!

Now the snow seems to be disappearing, the plan is for school to be open as normal tomorrow on 5.3.18.  Back to learning - YAY!

Year 5 - 'Bikeability' is planned in for this week for Team LG. If your child has returned their slip and intends on taking part, please ensure they bring their bike, helmet and warm clothes every morning this week. Tomorrow morning, if the course leader decides to cancel any sessions due to the weather, we will let you know ASAP and rearrange.

School has made the decision to close on 2.3.18 due to continuing adverse weather conditions and the risk to health and safety to and from school and on school site.  PLEASE keep your fingers crossed that the snow stops VERY soon!  The planned litter pick for Eco-Reps and School Council (with Wombwell Ward Alliance members) will be rearranged for another day.
