Confirmation

Today, I joined 4 other members from the congregation of Ledsham and Fairburn Church, to become confirmed. The service was led by Bishop John, the bishop of Selby, whose sermon on this day of Pentecost gave a very visual and powerful message about how Christians’ draw strength and faith from regularly meeting together and learning about the life of Jesus Christ. During confirmation classes, I’ve explored my faith, questioned, research, reflected ... giving time has given more time. Anyone contemplating joining the church, returning, becoming baptised or confirmed ... take that next step.  The clergy and congregation of Ledsham and Fairburn warmly welcome new and returning parishioners at any time. The next communion service is at 10am, Sunday 16th June at Ledston Hall chapel.m, All further services and church groups are publicised on the school notice board and on our web site. Finally, I must say thank you to baker of the fabulous flapjack!

Mad Science

Great to see so many of our children taking up the opportunity to find out more about the wonders of science. Today the children made a wave (of the water type) generator to take home.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Thank you to everyone involved in supporting the Brigshaw Leaning Partnership’s vision of a collective production of a stage production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was very ambitious project to give each of the 7 local primary school a scene, and to bring it together in one day to produce a performance worthy of a paying audience. I was so proud to see our children preform with confidence and skill on stage as well as supporting all the other children from neighbouring schools. Certainly something we’ll be signing up for next year. Oh! I’ll post the pictures when they get sent through.

Baby and Toddler group

Community Coffee Morning

Thank you to all the residents and friends of Lady Elizabeth Hastings School who worked together and organised this event. Thank you also to everyone who attended and supported our working together initiative, bringing the local residents and members of our school family who do not live in Ledston together.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this time as I was at a health and well being conference at Leeds Beckett University although I hope to attend the next one on;
Tuesday 2nd July at 9am to 10.30am in the Wheler Building 

Cross Country

Last night, some of our Key Stage 2 children stepped up to represent our school at the Brigshaw Learning Partnership's Key Stage 2 cross country competition. Competing against children for 7 other local primary school, all our children did themselves proud. A special mention must go to Poppy who came in 5th in a very strong field of runners. Thank you to all the parents who transported and cheered our children on and to Mr Tomlinson for his supervision. Unfortunately, there were no photos taken, but listening to the recount of the event I think it would have been hard to 'catch' our children!

Welcome Back

It's was great to welcome everyone back this morning, for out final half term. I trust everyone had an enjoyable half term and are now ready for a busy, productive 7 weeks.
