PLEASE CROSS SAFELY
We are continuing to see risky crossing of Western Road. Please use the supervised pedestrian crossing when arriving at and leaving school as it is the safest way to cross. Please encourage older children who are walking alone to cross here, and parents and carers can set a good example by doing the same.

HEADTEACHER'S AWARDS
This week, Ella in Year 5 has a headteacher award for outstanding effort with her homework.

IMPORTANT: ARRIVING AT SCHOOL
Please can we remind everyone that gates open at 8.40am. For safety, please make sure children do not arrive earlier than this time.
We would also like to remind you that the one way systems are still in place. Please continue to follow them to ease the flow of movement in and out of school at these busy times. Please ensure that you only use the pedestrian entrances/exits; do not use the vehicle exit routes to leave the site.

GOOLE'S PLATINUM JUBILEE CLEAN UP
The Clean Goole Campaign Group have set up a challenge, “Goole’s Platinum Jubilee Clean Up” with an aim to collect 700 bags of litter.
When? Running from Sunday 15th May through to Thursday 2nd June.
Where? Goole, Old Goole, Airmyn, Hook and the surrounding villages.
What? They want you to spend an hour or more, outside your business, in the street or the lane where you live, in the local park, along the riverbank, outside where you work, outside your club/dance school etc. cleaning up and litter picking.
The first part of this challenge is to get this advertised locally so they want children to design the posters.
Three age categories of 2-5, 6-10, 11-16, and the winner of each category will receive a prize of £10 Morrisons Vouchers and a McDonald's Voucher for two FREE meals.
All entries must be on A4 paper and need to be handed into The Credit Union, Pasture Road, Goole or scanned in and emailed to Cleangoolecampaign@hotmail.com by Tuesday 3rd May.
All entries will then be up uploaded onto our Facebook page and the winner will be the one with the most votes at 5 pm on Friday 13th May.
The winning entries will then be used locally to help promote “Goole’s Platinum Jubilee Clean Up”

CLUBS
If your child applied for a place at a club then you should have received a text message today to let you know about their place. Clubs start next week (with the exception of those that take place on a Monday, which will start the following week due to the bank holiday.)
If your child is already attending a booster session on the same day as a club, we ask that your child continues to attend their booster until it finishes and then starts the club the week after. Boosters are really important for your child's progress.
