Today we were visited by the brilliant Rock Kidz in tour.

We had a fantastic time and all enjoyed shouting,  “YASBA” - You’re awesome so BE awesome! It was a great start to term - reminding us how wonderfully different and special each one of us is.

It was great to see everyone back together in school today. We started the year thinking about the importance of working together as a team. We worked on lots of different outdoor challenges together and found out the importance of listening, communicating, being creative, making mistakes and…

Today, we finished off our first aid training, based on the Heart Start programme. Last week we learnt what to do if we find someone who needs urgent help, how to check if they are responsive and breathing, along with how to put an unconscious but breathing casualty into the recovery position.…

Today one of our governors, Mr Carson-Brown, came to visit us to talk about his job as a police officer, as another element of our work on Citizenship. We discussed why we need laws and he explained how laws are made. We thought about problems such as anti-social behaviour and the importance of…

Year 6 had a long but interesting day today on their visit to County Hall. We began bright and early by walking down to the station and catching the train to Preston. As part of this term’s Citizenship activities, we spent the morning with Mr. Mynott, who took us into Lancashire County Council’s…

Today Year 5 started their training for the Sports Leader Award. We learnt how to organise small groups and play basic games. This training will continue next week. 

What a fabulous day! We have managed to squeeze in so much! An assembly with Mrs Boyle all about the Commonwealth Games, a procession with the Jubilee baton, sports linked to different Commonwealth countries, passing the baton to the next school at Williamson's Park, a picnic lunch on the field…

As part of our growing topic this half term, we were lucky enough to have another animal visit us in nursery today!

Today we went to the University of Cumbria to take part in a Commonwealth Games Event. The children had the opportunity to try a range of different sports such as boccia and archery. Thanks for all the donations for Derian House Children’s Hospice, we raised a fantastic £92.
