The Year 1 children who were considered to have the best designed vehicles in school went to a primary engineering day at Goole Market Hall to share and race the vehicles they had made. They won an award for best communicators. Well done!

BIG AND LITTLE BIG SING
A big well done to all the Year 2 & Year 4 children who represented school well on their trips out to The Junction for Big Sing and Little Big Sing this week.
We had some lovely feedback from the music service about our Year 2 and 4 children- ''Just wanted to say a huge thanks to the pupils and staff who attended the Big and Little Sings on Wednesday and this morning. The pupils were amazing and performed and participated brilliantly!"

ROAD SAFETY
Please can we once again remind you to use the pedestrian crossing to cross Western Road. It is an extremely busy road, particularly at school drop off and leaving times and we are still receiving reports of people taking risks to get across. We are very lucky to have a crossing supervised by a School Crossing Patrol, so please make use of it - it is the safest way to cross.

FREE SCHOOL MEALS
Just a reminder that if your child is nearing the end of Year 2 they will no longer be eligible to receive a universal free school meal when they move to Year 3. This means that from September, unless you have already applied for free school meals, a hot lunch will need to be paid for. If you believe you could be eligible to claim free school meals please see the information below and contact the school office for more details of how to apply.
Your child(ren) will be entitled to free school meals if you as the parent are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
- Job Seeker's Allowance (income-based)
- Income Support
- Universal Credit - Your annual income assessed by the Department for Work and Pension must be less than £7,400. Any pupil eligible for free school meals before 1 April 2018 when the earned income threshold is introduced will retain their eligibility until then end of universal credit roll-out which is March 2022
- Child Tax Credit (but NOT receiving Working Tax Credit) – provided your annual income, assessed by the Inland Revenue, does not exceed £16,190 (Please note: this amount is subject to change in April every year)
- Employment Support Allowance (income-related)
- Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
If your child is eligible for free school meals not only will your child receive a hot meal daily but will also be entitled to £25 per year to spend on uniform and book bags, have school trips paid and contributions paid towards clubs that have a cost.
