Year 1 Visit to Conkers
On Monday, Year 1 visited Conkers activity centre as part of
their Science study. The children had the oppor-tunity to explore
the indoor discovery centre and learn new facts about minibeasts.
Fol-lowing this, the children went on an exciting minibeast hunt
and found a range of creepy crawlies in their natural
habitats! Despite the poor weather, the children remained full
of enthusiasm throughout the day and their behaviour was truly
exemplary. Well done to Year 1!
Macmillan Coffee Morning Thank you to the parents and
grandparents who came to FoLSS coffee morning today in aid of the
Macmillan charity. Our thanks also go to everyone who sent in
cakes, they were delicious, and to FoLSS for organising another
successful event. A total of £388.76 was raised for this excellent
cause. We are very much looking forward to our Pamper Night which
takes place next Friday Evening. Please see the FoLSS sec-tion for
further details, and our website for more photos of the coffee
morning.
Year 4 Visit to Wolseley Centre Year Four have been learning
about rivers and mountains as part of their topic work. On
Thurs-day, the children had the opportunity to go on a visit to the
Wolseley Centre in Staffordshire. Whilst there they investigated
the features of a river and engaged in various other activities
such as pond dipping and scientific river investiga-tions,
including the river's speed, acidity and tem-perature. Many members
of the centre com-mented on the children's impeccable manners and
said what great ambassadors they were for the school. Well done to
Year 4!

Sports Report On Tuesday evening, two teams from Little Sutton
took part in the mixed Year 5 and 6 football tournament. The teams
- made up of boys and girls - showed tremendous team spirit from
the very first whistle. Our B team were defensively resolute and
conceded only one goal in their group; unfortu-nately finishing 2nd
was not enough to qualify for the sec-ond round. Our A team, played
some magnificent, free scoring football which led to them topping
their group and qualifying for the semi-finals. After a tight clash
with Four Oaks, Little Sutton were knocked out on penalties. The
fair play and team work shown by both teams was delightful to see
by teachers and parents alike.
Vacancy If anyone would be interested in working a few hours at
the before or after school club, please contact them on 323 4975.
Free childcare is included for school age children.
