Links News- 16th June, 2023

Friday 16th June, 2023

Dear Links families,

As you know it’s been a warm week, but despite this, the children have continued to be focused and worked hard on their learning at school this week. As always, thank you for the way in which you support your children’s education.

Sports Day

It was great to see so many of you at Sports Day on what was a great community event for our school. A particular thank you goes to Mr Grace who coordinated the whole event so successfully.

I appreciate that the heat made this a challenge for some of our children and as always we will continue to look at ways in which we can continue to make sure that all children have a positive experience of such special events.

I would also like to thank those parents who helped, especially those at the water station.

Hot Weather Reminder

As the warm weather looks set to continue, please make sure that your child has a hat with them when they come to school as well as a water bottle which can be refilled at school. We would also like to remind you to apply sunscreen, where appropriate, to your children before coming to school.

Message from the PTA

We are having another maze clearing session at the school tomorrow (Saturday June 17th) at 10am for two hours. If you are free and would like to help for a hour, that would be lovely.
