Welcome to the final term of 2018-19. It seems that we’ve blinked and found ourself in June although when we look at the children, we can see how much they have grown. It has been an incredibly busy week that started with our assembly on Monday morning on Healthy Eating. You’ll be pleased to know that they have a great understanding of what they should eat and how often. I know they enjoy the lunches that our kitchens provide and eat the fruit that we offer; Years 1,2 and 3 had the opportunity to work with Roots to Food this week. Darren is a very inspiring chef and passionate about encouraging children to make positive choices about their food. Year 1 and 3 took part in an activity session which ended with a healthy smoothie and Year 2 cooked the best Chicken Rogan Josh, I’ve ever tasted. If you would like to see what they did with Roots to Food, please check the classes’ Twitter accounts and the video that can be found on our website, twitter feed and Facebook. The video is also full of the children’s achievements out of school too. We love to hear about their successes and it helps us to understand what interests and motivates them too.

As you begin the weekend, spare a thought for the Y6 pupils and staff who are about take on a thrilling set of challenges at PGL. For the children (and those adults who dare), it will be trying new things and gaining experiences that they’ll remember for ever. For the adults, I know they will enjoy working with the children to ensure that they have the best time possible. Huge thanks goes to staff who give their time freely and the Friends of Huntingtower who have kindly paid for the children’s leavers hoodies.
