Transition Day
We are pleased to let you know that the transition session will take place on the morning of Thursday 3rd June. On this day, children (current reception to Year 5) should go directly to their new class at drop-off time, where they will be welcomed by their teacher for the next academic year. During the transition morning, the children will have the opportunity to get to know the adults who will be working in their next class. They will also follow the breaktime and lunchtime routines of their new year group to help them become familiar with the changes. After lunch playtime, current teachers will collect their classes and return to their usual classrooms for the afternoon lessons. Please collect your child from their current classroom at home time, as usual.

Well done to all the children for completing the sponsored run
with Deepdale Duck this week!
Everyone showed fantastic energy and determination, and it was wonderful to see so many smiling faces taking part. We’re thrilled to share that the children raised an amazing £965 in sponsorship – a huge thank you to all families and friends for your incredible support.
The money raised will be split between the PNE Community Trust and purchasing new sports kit for our children to wear with pride when representing Harris at sporting events.
Well done, Team Harris – we’re so proud of you all!
