RESCHEDULED – Thursday 24th June 1.30 pm
Sports Day this year will be on Thursday 24th June.  This year we will be able to use the field for some of the activities.  To be able to run the event we need help from parents – urgently.  So far we have only had 7 parents offer their help but we need many more.  Help is also required in the morning (approx 10.30 am) to set up the activities.  If you are able to support us please inform the office as soon as possible, there will be a list of events for you to choose.  The list will also be on the website and you can email t.hill@barnsley.org if you are able to help.   All parents are invited as usual to spectate, in particular parents of children in F2 and Y1 where the children will need help to take part in the activities.
