Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We have played four netball matches now and we are getting used to the rules of the game.
The girls are showing their sportsmanship and I am totally in awe of their determination, resilience and motivation to keep learning and improving their skills.
They are working well as a team, supporting each other and being excellent ambassadors for our school.
Go girls!

Who will come out on top?
As part of their forest school session this week, Year 1 went on a scavenger hunt to see what natural treasures they could find discarded on nature's floor. They used the knots that had learned in previous sessions to tie their 'treasures' onto sticks and make magical scavenger sticks.
Classrooms shouldn't have four walls and the best classroom is roofed only by the sky...
We are so lucky to be able to educate our pupils in our beautiful countryside and embrace all of their strengths.
What a wonderful 'walk and talk' today for EYFS. They walked up and over the hill opposite school. They were very brave climbing up the side! They could see Pendle Hill, the Cement Works, cows, hens, a flood, lots of birds and Clitheroe Castle. So much to talk about!
We are delighted to share the winning design for our recent completion to design a poster to promote our school values!
We LOVE this design by Leon in Year 1. It highlights all 7 values as well as our Mission Statement in a colourful design with our pupils at the heart of the rainbow!
Well done Leon - this new poster will be displayed around school as well as used on the school website and on social media.
Thank you to everyone that entered - it was so hard to choose!
Year 1 have been showing off their phonics work to Mrs White this morning.
They’ve been learning about split vowel digraphs and how to read and write i-e
They had lots of fun with their magic wands to help them write the words too!
Year 2 have been showing off their active phonics lessons to Mrs White this morning!
They have been learning the digraph ‘mb’ and enjoyed lots of active learning to find, read and write words using this digraph!
Mr Stell has been replaced by a mystery character today who has been introducing the Year 6 children to their newest text…The Nowhere Emporium!
EYFS enjoyed the first of their new Walk and Talk afternoons in our locality! They even made some new friends today called Domino, Rolo, Rocky and Duke.
They spotted lots of interesting things such as toadstools as well as talking about Pendle Hill and the factory that they could see in the distance. A great opportunity for fresh air, lots of talking and keeping fit.
Reception have had a wonderful day today learning all about Diwali.
They each made a beautiful candle and sat listening so intently as Mrs Harper told them the story of Rama and Sita.
Year 5 have made these eye-catching posters, which include leaf and animal prints created by the children. They were inspired by the work of Faniana Rodriguez, an American artist and activist.
Well done Year 5!
We had our first RAINBOW DAY of the year last Friday.
The children spent the morning in their RAINBOW teams and the theme this half term was 'Getting to Know You'.
The children brought board games into school and spent the morning in their teams, playing together and getting to know each other.
For those of you who are unaware of what Rainbow Days are...
Every child in our school is given a colour from the Rainbow. On Rainbow Days, the children get together in these colours. In each colour, there are children from each year group. We do this to encourage a sense of team and belonging across school. The younger children get to know the older children and the older children care for the younger children.
I honestly think that our Rainbow Teams is a huge strength of the school. The relationships and confidence that the children develop are exceptional and it creates such a sense of feeling valued for the children.
As always, our Year 6 Rainbow Leaders were role models for our other pupils.
