HUTTON HERALD 18th June 2021 WORKING TOGETHER Message from Mr Kelly I can’t believe that we have only one half term left before the summer holidays. There seems like there is so much to do! I’ve no doubt that it’s going to fly by! Our superhero day was a great success. The children looked fantastic, as did the staff! We had Mr Beckwith as Spiderman, Mr Johnson as Bananaman, Miss Palmer as Mrs Incredible, Miss Martin and Mrs Trevis as Supergirl, to name but a few! Thank you for your kind contributions. Additionally, thank you for all your support so far with preparations for the Summer Fair. I have been in contact with the Local Authority, Health and Safety and Public Health this week, and the Summer Fair can still go ahead on Saturday 17th July. Having spoken to the aforementioned bodies, we have had to make some changes. Originally each class were going to perfom a variety of songs and we were due to have a set from a band called ‘The Beer Pigs’. Sadly none of these things will be taking place now. However, everything else we had planned is still ok to go ahead with. I remain confident that the fair is going to be a great success. Please see the attached flyer to this newsletter for more information about how you can help us make the Summer Fair a wonderful day for everyone.Thank you for those parents who have expressed an interest and already played in the parent/staff football club on Monday nights 7-8. I’m delighted that it appears fitness is…... a work in progress for all of the players, and its not just me! Likewise, thank you to everyone who has sponsored and supported us so far with our latest charity challenge, the Yorkshire 6 Peaks there and back again. The team are taking on the Yorkshire 3 peaks tomorrow as part of a training walk. As well as our justgiving link below, we have set up our own public twitter page @CharityHrps. This will not include any children, it is just for our 6 peak charity work and will not be replacing our current private twitter page, where we currently show the things in school that our amazing children get up to. Due to the governments announcments this week, there are a number of things we have had to cancel. (see below) Although disappointing for the children and famlies, I understand the importance of continuing to limit the spread of this terrible virus and hence feel that as a school the correct decisions have been taken in this respect. As always thank you for your continued support. Have a great few weeks everyone. Take care.

Mr Kelly HRPFest Update The Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday caused quite a stir here at HRPFest HQ. Could the fair continue? What would it look like? Do I have to return all of the prizes or can I just use them myself? However, after much searching and reading of guidance and guidelines, I am delighted to announce that HRPFest aka The Hutton Rudby Primary School Summer Fair is able to take place on Saturday 17th July as planned! Guidance states that as of Stage 2 (when beer gardens opened on 12th April) village fetes and community fairs are allowed to happen with up to 4000(!) attendees.
