• Snuggle Up with a Book Day

  Fri 24 May 2019
  Today our children looked very different! Around the school, all we could see were pyjamas and dressing gowns!

All classes have been taking part in activities that revolve around these stories and it was great to see a hall full of smiley faces!

• Year 3 Trip

  Mon 20 May 2019
  Today our Year 3 children were lucky enough to go on a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. The children took part in 3 workshops. The first was a Wonder of Light workshop where the children saw a variety of experiments involving light. The second was called Experimental Flow and involved an interactive workshop about all the areas of Science and finally they watched the Forces and Flight show where the children learnt all about magnets and air resistance. They had a fantastic day and were amazed by all they learnt and saw.

  

• May Fair Success!

  Sat 18 May 2019
  Today in school, we held our annual May Fair. This is an event ran by the PTA which allows families to come along and win prizes, play games, browse the stalls, have a cup of coffee, have something to eat and generally have a great time meeting everyone in a relaxed environment. The fair was opened by the Britannia Coconutters and we were entertained by the Rossendale Scout Band and Fusion Dance group. The event was a huge success and raised over £1000! A massive thank you to all volunteers, staff and attendees. Without you, it would not be possible to raise such a great amount of money for the children!

• PE Inclusion Event

  Thu 02 May 2019
  Today, some of our Year 4 and 5 children attended a PE Inclusion Event organised by Rossendale Sports Partnership. This is where children can take part in events that focus more on the team building skills and the journey rather than the outcome. This week it was an orienteering event and the children had a great time. They also received medals and certificates in our Shooting Star Assembly. Well done boys!
