Our thoughts and prayers go out to them. </p><p>We are very aware that some children will have fears and questions about the terrible events and staff have spoken to the children, as we are sure that you will have done at home. We have received several e mails from various agencies – the local authority, the police etc. who have provided links, and two in particular may be useful to parents when speaking to their children. This is the Childline link which can be found on https://www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/your-feelings/anxiety-stress- panic/worries-about-the-world/ and the NSPCC link https://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-we-do/news- opinion/supporting-children-worried-about-terrorism/ </p><p>Golden Book</p><p>Our Celebration assembly last week was on Friday, so we have two groups of children to congratulate this week who have been entered in our “Golden Book”.</p><p>From last week: Class 1 Freya McTigue and Phoebe Nicholson Class 2 Orlaith Sagar and Macy Grayson Class 3 Elliette Pearson and Sophia Degnan Class 4 Jacob O`Donnell and Luke O`Donnell</p><p>This week`s children are: Class 1 Amelie Satterthwaite and Freddie Fozzard Class 2 Leo Wood and all Year 2 Class 3 Ella Johnson and George Godley Class 4 Lucy Fisher and Frances Cocker</p><p>Sportsdesk</p><p>Our team travelled to Horbury on Monday evening to take part in the KS1 Races and Relays event. </p><p>They competed brilliantly as a team and put in maximum effort.

Fish and Chip Tea</p><p>Year 2 had a wonderful time yesterday afternoon when they had a play session followed by a fish and chip tea as their reward for working so well during their assessments recently. </p><p>Many thanks to Mrs Firth and Mrs Grindle for staying and organising it and Mrs Firth for her contribution towards the tea. </p><p>Last minute reminders</p><p>Please have photograph orders in by 9th June. </p><p>We would appreciate parents of Year 1 / 2 children returning their Oakwell Hall permission slips as soon as possible to avoid further reminders. </p><p>Attached to this newsletter is our calendar for next year. </p><p>And finally …………</p><p>A gift card has been found on the school field.
