Gymnastics
This afternoon we took three gym teams to Dowdales to compete in the Furness Small Schools competition. The winning teams go through to the County Competition that will be held at Penrith Leisure Centre on Thursday 26th March. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this newsletter, we have still not been informed of the results of the competition, to know whether or not we were successful. However, I can tell you that we were all thrilled with the performance of each individual and that every child did either as well, or better than in the first competition. They have listened to everything we have asked them to do and if effort and attitude were scored, we’d be clear winners. Thank you to all the adults who have assisted in the preparation for this competition.
UVHS
Our Year 5s will be attending UVHS on Monday for a ‘taster day’. The children will visit to experience a wide range of lessons which may even include a session on their climbing wall. Therefore, the children will need to take with them a pencil case and their PE kit. Lunch will be provided free of charge but the children can take a packed lunch if they’d prefer. Please drop your child off at the main entrance at 8:45am and then collect them at 3:25pm from the same place.
Swimming
As Year 5 will be at UVHS on Monday, there will be no swimming session for them. We would like to use this opportunity to take Year 3 for a one off session. If you are happy for your Year 3 pupil to go swimming on Monday morning, please send them with their swim kit. Year 4 pupils will attend the swimming session as normal although, we would like them to bring in a pair of pajamas to wear over their costume so they can do their survival skills. No fleece PJs please.
Traffic
Just a polite reminder about careful driving on the approach to school. Although the road is a 30mph limit, 20mph is advised due to the fact we have lots of little people crossing and walking up that road when it is at its busiest. Please, please take care.
Friends of LAMPS
A huge thank you to those involved with the planning of the Valentine Disco as well as helping on the actual night. It is wonderful to have an event that not only raises money, but can be enjoyed by the children. Don’t forget, Bingo is on at Buccleuch Hall tonight, starting at 7:30pm, and all money raised will be donated to the school.
If you would like to support the school in another way, you can always sign up for the LAMPS Lottery. If you are already a member then why not buy a ball as a Mother’s Day gift for any of our lovely grandparents. If you would like a form, just visit the office or send an email.
Governor Vacancy
I wrote to you a few weeks ago regarding a vacancy we have on our Governing Body. We have a skills gap and need to recruit another member who has experience of leadership and management as well as a knowledge of business finance. It would be fantastic if this person could be a parent, grandparent or someone within our school community. If you feel you can offer the skills we need, or know someone else who could, please get in touch with myself or Mrs Brettle.
