This week, the children have been finishing their Ilkley Carnival programme cover entries. All entries will be displayed in Booths supermarket in the run up to the carnival. Good luck children!
As last year, the PTA are once again leading our entry in the Ilkley carnival parade on Monday 5th May—a chance for all the family to take part! The theme of the whole carnival is ‘Ilkley Past, Present and Future’ and the theme for our parade entry is ‘The River Wharfe’. More information, including costume ideas, will be sent out soon. The PTA are also assisting with our entry into the Otley Carnival parade on Saturday 21st June. To help with planning, we will soon be inviting you to sign up for either or both carnival parades but for now,please just make a note of these dates.
Next week, the children in years 5 and 6 will be going away on a two night residential to Boggle Hole Youth Hostel near Whitby. We will share news of their adventures when we return!
