AUTUMN WALK TO SKELTON WOODS

Year 1 enjoyed a lovely walk on Monday! We

spotted lots of signs of Autumn. We observed

changes to the trees, fields and forest floor.

The children enjoyed collecting leaves, sticks

and conkers to take back and create their own

wonderful Autumn art.

SURVEY

We received almost 200 responses to our online survey recently. Look out next week for a formal

response document.

Clearly electronic communication is preferred by most families. Do you know any families who

don’t receive our Friday Flyer or texts? Please ask them to call into the office. THANKYOU

ECO PLANTING AT CHURCH

This week our Eco warriors visited the lovely, ancient All Saints Church. Along with a group of volunteers from the Skelton Heritage Trust, we planted crocus and daffodil bulbs. These will bloom in the spring making the graveyard bright and colourful. We also built a bug hotel for the minibeasts using straw, bricks, sticks, recycled cardboard and even pine cones.

The chairman of the local history group was there and taught us lots about Old Skelton. Did you know there is even a smuggler buried there? The old church is located on the way out of Skelton towards Guisborough. It’s a beautifully preserved building. So pop down and visit it and see all our hard work for yourselves.

SAFETY: nuts & phones!

Please remember that we have children

with life threatening nut allergies.

PLEASE DO NOT send nuts as snacks or

include in packed lunch.

Please do not use your mobile devices

when on site.

Help us to keep your children safe

Our Website

There is lots of useful information about school on our website. Have

you checked it recently? www.skeltonprimaryschool.co.uk

After our recent family survey, a number of comments mentioned

leaders in school, asking who they were and what they looked like. Here

is a quick reminder for you:

Y5 Enterprise

This week Mr Campbell’s class have sold hot chocolate and cookies

every day at break time in the hope of raising money towards a trip

later in the school year. We managed to raise an outstanding amount

of £433.00!

Thank you to those in 5C for their hard work and

dedication. Well done.

A huge well done to our boys’ football

team who took part in an East Cleveland

tournament on Saturday. They

performed amazingly and won many of

their games, narrowly missing out on

being in the final.

A huge well done to our Year 5

and 6’s who took part in our East

Cleveland cluster Tag Rugby

competition on Tuesday.

A superb performance from the

whole team with a special well

done to Harrison, who was

awarded player of the

tournament.

East Cleveland Children’s Council

On Tuesday Ethan and Ellie welcomed members of the Children’s Council

when they visited our school. The children discussed their aims for the

year and decided that it was very important that all children should be

treated fairly. They listened to a group of children from Hartlepool who

were Junior Inspectors. They told us about an inspection they had

carried out at a local hospital. Thank you to Ethan, Ellie, Evie and Harley

for making our visitors feel so welcome.
