Y1 & Y2 Toy Workshop 🧸 On Monday 23rd November the children in Team 2 will be taking part in a toy workshop to support our DT project. As part of the day, the children will explore toys with different moving parts and learn about how they are created and how they move. Each child will then make their own toy to bring home! 🤩 To help fund this special experience payments of £9 per child can be made via My Child At School. Unfortunately we have only received a very small number of payments at the moment and if we don't receive enough contributions the workshop may be cancelled. Letters have already been sent out but if you would like another copy please let your child's class teacher know Thank you, Miss Hensby & Mrs Palin

Wondering what you can do with the Kids during October half term? See below for some community events including the opportunity to see a Vulcan aircraft ... On Saturday 31 October, we are holding our Halloween Howl at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and we would be incredibly grateful if your school could help us let local families know about the event. Halloween Howl is much more than an opportunity to experience the famous Vulcan howl. Families will be able to enjoy a wide range of attractions throughout the day, including Star Wars Characters, Yorkshire Ghostbusters, Gilbert the Dalek, classic and historic vehicles, Task Force 1982 re-enactors, aircraft cockpits and emergency service displays, and much more. At the heart of the day will be a ground run of Avro Vulcan XH558, giving visitors the chance to experience the unmistakable sound and feeling of her four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines. The event also gives us an opportunity to introduce a new generation to aviation, engineering and local heritage, something which sits at the heart of our charity's aim of Honouring the Past and Inspiring the Future. Tickets are £30 for adults and just £2.50 for children aged 5–15. Please note that children under five cannot attend due to the noise levels associated with the Vulcan engine ground run.

Today, our Year 5 and 6 children took part in some fantastic Positive Relationships workshops delivered by the Stay Safe Partnership. The children explored what makes a positive friendship and relationship, the importance of kindness and respect, and different ways to resolve friendship issues when they arise. It was a valuable opportunity for the children to reflect on how we can build and maintain happy, healthy friendships! 💛

Parking Around School We kindly ask all parents and carers to help keep our children safe by parking considerately when dropping off and collecting from school. Please do not park on the yellow lines, particularly near the school gates and the School Crossing Patrol. These areas must be kept clear at all times to ensure children, families and staff can cross the road safely and have a clear view of oncoming traffic. By parking responsibly and following local parking restrictions, you can help reduce congestion and make our school environment safer for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our children safe. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust
