Robin Hood’s Got Talent
Congratulations to Paige Tye who will be performing in Sleeping Beauty at the Wakefield Christmas Pantomime in December this year.
Matthew Hambleton, Year 6, is representing Robin Hood for Leeds City Boys this year and is taking his footballing talents countrywide. Robin Hood certainly has got talent. If there is an achievement or accolade that you know that could be celebrated via our newsletter… please let me know.

If you haven’t yet seen one of our Robin Hood’s Got Talent weekly performances at the Friday Celebration Assembly, please do join us. I guarantee that you’ll see some extraordinary talent…

Mrs Friar
I would like to highlight the work of Mrs Friar in this week’s newsletter. As all of those parents whose children have been through our Reception class in recent years will know, Mrs Friar is a very talented member of the Early Years team. She is also a green-fingered guru! Mrs Friar, with the help of the Gardening Club, has transformed an area behind the Year 34 classroom into an allotment space, which will allow us to grow our own flowers and vegetables. Mrs Friar’s horticultural may soon become a challenger to Mr Binn’s Nursery Garden… We’ll have to see who can grow the biggest pumpkins!

PTA Christmas Fair
Our Christmas Fair takes place on Saturday 11th December this year. For events like the Christmas Fair, our PTA does struggle for support at times, and it is asking a great deal that the responsibility falls on the same people all of the time. I am very grateful for the good will that our PTA have shown over many years, but fear that our small. Loyal and hardworking band cannot go on forever. An active PTA is an important institution in every school. Over the years our PTA have raised funds for Easter Eggs, Christmas gifts, Christmas Pantomime, Indoor play equipment, Nintendo DS’s, outdoor play, Playground furniture… including the Adventure Play equipment… and the list goes on. Robin Hood School would be a much poorer environment for our children without these things and our children’s school experience would therefore be less fantastic than it is. Please support our PTA. Please see Jenny Curgenven or Angela Ross if you are able to offer help.

Have a fabulous weekend,
Mr Wilson
