Another busy week at school as our summer term continues!
On Tuesday, we held our Bingley Foodbank Assembly and were delighted to announce that all our poster competition winners were from our Year 3 class, Lilly-Rose, Myles and Charlotte were our winners, well done on your fantastic designs! Our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a fantastic swimming session on Tuesday too, where some children also took part in vital survival practice. Thank you to all the parents and family members who joined us for Year 1’s class assembly on Thursday. Our Year 4 residential was a great success. The children embraced all the activities with enthusiasm and confidence, making it a memorable first residential experience. They returned this afternoon happily tired, with lots of smiles, and a well-earned need for an early night tonight!
Finally, we would like to wish all our fathers and father figures a wonderful Father’s Day weekend. You are all superstars! We hope you enjoy your gifts from FOPPS Superman Shop on Thursday. Thank you, as always for supporting our FOPPS team.
Have a lovely weekend.
