Child Care for Critical Workers and Vulnerable Children
If you are a key-worker in a job that is critical to the Cornona Virus response and you have no other way to look after your child at home safely please contact admin@burnleyroad.calderdale.sch.uk and we will try to make arrangements for you. This may not necessarily be at Burnley Road, it could be at another local school. Please remember that the safest thing for your child and your family is for them to remain at home. If your child has an EHC plan or involvement with a social worker and you would like a place at school during 'Lock Down' please email as above.

Easter Art Competition
Thank you and well done to everybody that took part in the PTFA Easter competition. There were entries from all Key Stages. We were very pleased with the standard of children's work and it was difficult to choose winners. Nevertheless, we have made our decision - congratulations to Laurel from Foundation, Tulizza from Ks1 and George from Ks2. There will be sweet prizes when school re-opens

Forest Activities - Fantastic Fun Whatever the Weather
Children from every class have had a great time at during Forest Activities this term. We persevered and had lots of fun in spite of the wet, chilly weather. Activities have included searching for wildlife, making mini beasts out of clay, building and testing waterproof dens and harvesting vegetables from our polytunnel. We have improved our bush craft techniques whilst whittling sticks into interesting shapes, made bird nests from hay and wool, found the ages of some of our trees and learnt some tree names. We have also begun thinking about the sustainability of woodland areas and forest maintenance, and cleared parts of the woodland, moving fallen logs to clear a path through the wood. We are looking forward to our next sessions in November.

At the end of each term the house with the highest score wins a treat of their choice- anything from an afternoon of Zorbing, an arts and craft afternoon to a movie and popcorn!
