The children had an amazing time and are definitely now in the Christmas Spirit! Well done Year 1 on your fantastic trip!

  

• Carols Around the Tree

  Wed 05 Dec 2018
  This evening, despite the blustery conditions, the children and staff from Northern ventured into Bacup to witness the lighting of the tree and then sing some carols around it. We were accompanied by the band and the children sang their hearts out. There was also a very special visitor who came to say hello despite this being his most busiest time of the year. Can you guess who it was? It was indeed Father Christmas! Many thanks to all who braved the elements and supported this local event.

• Read Write Inc Reception Drop In

  Tue 04 Dec 2018
  Today, parents of Reception children were able to come in and watch how the children are taught phonics and letter recognition in order to segment and blend new words. This is a transferable skill that the children can begin to apply independently when picking up new books. Many thanks to those that attended.
