Your child has the opportunity to enter a drawing competition held by Lincolnshire County Council.

It is World Hand Hygiene Day on Thursday 5th May2022 and the competition is to draw a handwashing superhero or superbug.

If your child would like to take part in this, paper copies of the entry form will come home this week.

Please return entries to the school office by the morning of Friday 13th May 2022.

Your entry could be used on Health Protection Campaigns and could also win the school vouchers to enhance the outdoor area.

The school supported the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal back in March 2022 by selling the daffodil badges.

An incredible amount of £108 was raised.  

This incredible amount really does mean the world to people living with a terminal illness and their families, and every pound raised means more people will get the care and support they need.

Thank you for your support.

Celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee

Great Gonerby Playing field 

The PTFA are organising the bouncy castle, face painting, crafting tables and Fancy Dress Parade. This is chance to raise lots of funds for school and to be a big part of our local community. 

To do this we need your help to man the stalls, could you volunteer just an hour between 2pm and 6pm.

Please email the PTFA at stseb.ptfa@gmail.com to let us know if you can help. 

This is such an exciting opportunity for us and we really hope you can help. 

Our next shine assembly will be taking place in St Sebastian's Church on Friday 29th April at 2.30pm.

We hope to see many of you there to help us celebrate our children's achievements.

If your child has an achievement they would like to share, please bring any certificates or badges to the school office by the morning of Friday 29th April.

The assembly will last for approximately 40 minutes. Children will return to school where they can be collected as usual at 3.30pm.

Last week, we were very happy to welcome Emily Hill, a Community Coach from Lincolnshire County Cricket, into our school for day of cricket fun. The children loved the opportunity to learn a little more about the sport and learn some new skills.

If your child enjoyed the session and would like to take part in further cricket coaching, please find attached posters with information about the National Programmes which are being run in our local cricket clubs.

If your child would like another taster of the sport before deciding whether to join up, Barkston and Syston Cricket Club will be running a FREE taster session on Tuesday 3rd May.

If your child is interested, please email Nigel Parker (secretary of the club) on nigel.d.parker@btinternet.com to register their interest.
