• Rossendale Hospice Bunny Hop Challenge 2023!

  Wed 29 Mar 2023 Mrs Melvin.

  Last Friday, our school went 'hopping mad!' Every child took part in the Rossendal Hospice Bunny Hop Challenge and tried to raised as much money as they could for a great cause! Plenty of our children also wore their bunny ears that they had made at home and lots of them returned the colouring pictures! Today Rossendale Hospice came to collect the money we had raised which so far is over £1000! We will give you a final total when the monies have all been counted. Here is a picture of our 4 top money raisers alongside Joanna. Well done Northern and a massive thank you to all our parents for supporting this fantastic cause!

  

• Golf Madness!

  Fri 24 Mar 2023 Mrs Rothwell

  On Friday, Millie,Lexi, Ruby and Violet were very lucky and got to experience an amazing time at the Valley's very own golfing centre. The weather was not very kind at first but luckily our first activity was under cover on the driving range. The professional taught everyone individually. By the end of the session the girls were fantastic! 

  Next was Tri Golf which involved lots of games- Violet was successful in the chocolate bar challenge. Millie was scuppered by the wind! 

  Our final activity was the crazy golf course which suited the girls! They all in all had an amazing time . They all agreed that they would love to return. The golf centre gave all those pupils there a surprise treat of some sweeties. We are glad to say that there wasn't a hole in one!!!!

  Today our Year 6 children walked to Bacup library to meet the author Tom Palmer. The children got to learn all about his life and his journey to becoming a successful author. The children asked lots of interesting and challenging questions and Tom happily answered them all! The organiser of the event even sent this comment after our visit 'Could you pass our thanks to the class teacher, the helpers and especially the children for their enthusiasm at Tom Palmer's visit yesterday . They were brilliant, it was such a pleasure to have them in the library.' Well done Year 6!

  Today our school came alive with characters from books of all genres and ages. We saw characters from Iron Man to Addams Family to classics such as the Wizard of Oz.
