Together Everyone Achieves More Ings Community Primary and Nursery School Summer – Newsletter 10 – 24th June 2016
Newsletter Exciting news this week, the new Ings Community Primary and Nursery School website is going live on Monday. We have been working hard with a specialist company to build a website that celebrates all of the achievements at Ings. We want to continue to share our news with you and the local community. The new website can be translated into any language so can even be shared with the whole world! The website will be an important place for you to find information about our school, to look at photographs and dates of events. Please take a look and share it with your friends and family. http://skiptoningsprimary.org.uk/ Mrs D.L.Makepeace

Summer is here and we need to make sure that your children are protected from the sun, they will need sun protection cream and hats (clearly labelled with their names), if your child suffers from Hay Fever please ensure they have had their medication before school and you have supplied school with asthma inhalers. Many thanks.

All year 2 children from primary schools across Skipton attended a Sports Activity afternoon at Sandylands last Monday. This was supported by their parents. Unfortunately our year 2 children were unable to attend as we had no parents willing to walk with us. Without help we could not meet the adult child ratio required to keep children safe and had to cancel.
FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT Pupils in Years 5 & 6 have been invited to play in The Richard Mason Memorial Trophy Football Tournament at Sandylands on Friday 1st July from 9.30am – 1.30pm. Have you volunteered to help us? Please let Mrs Burnett know. Thank you.
FOREST SCHOOL BUG HOTEL PARENTS WE NEED YOUR HELP! We would like to build a bug hotel with the children in our wildlife garden, but we need the following materials to be able to go ahead, can you help us? Speak to Mrs Burnett. 4 or 5 wooden pallets Clay pipes Clay plant pots Roof tiles Bits of old carpet Bamboo canes Air bricks
Jump Rope for Heart
Children have improved their skipping skills so much and often skip outside at playtime, singing rhymes too. This is a great skill to learn and a fun way to keep fit. It was great to hear Ryan say “I couldn’t skip at first but I tried and tried and now I can”. Just the attitude we need for good learning. Please send your sponsor money in to the school office as soon as possible. Thank you
Our school library is OPEN to all our families on Friday afternoons from 3.15pm; Please come and see Mrs Hodgson and her library volunteers who will help you choose suitable books. Well done to those families that change their books each week. Reading is so important for your child
HOLIDAYS IN TERM TIME Head teachers have a discretionary power to authorise up to 10 days leave in each school year for the purpose of a family holiday in term time. Ings Community Primary & Nursery School will not routinely grant permission for holidays or extended holidays.
MUSIC SERVICE At the end of term our contract with NYCC Music Service comes to an end, unfortunately this means the instruments that children in Year 3 & 4 have been learning will need to be returned also. Please see attached leaflets and fliers regarding the music service for private tuition should you be interested.
