The Sponsored Bounce raised an incredible £1684.46!

That is absolutely amazing - thank you to everyone who sponsored a pupil. What a tremendous amount of money to raise

As part of our Clitheroe cluster work, we are developing links with the other primary schools in the area and really enjoyed this morning.

The children had to work as a team at 5 different maths stations which all had different types of maths problems to solve!

We also enjoyed pairing up with our friends at Brennand's Endowed Primary School, Slaidburn

As a Local Education Authority, Lancashire is aiming to become a Trauma aware County. We are so pleased to have completed this so we can fully support our families and community

As part of our music curriculum, we offer every year 6 child the opportunity to learn a brass instrument. These pupils have only been learning since September. The progress they have made in their weekly lessons is excellent!

We can’t wait to read their finished stories!

On Wednesday 8th March, we are joining the Football Association (FA) in their campaign to ensure girls have the same access to football in schools and in clubs by 2024 as boys do.

#LetGirlsPlay is a call for change and we are keen to support this.

Research shared as part of the campaign shows that football is very popular amongst girls and that the numbers of girls engaged in football is continuing to grow. Whilst football is the most popular team sport for young people in England, only a third of girls aged 5-18 years participate each week. The research findings show that that 90% of girls that play, enjoy it, 60% of these girls that play football in schools want to play more and 91% of girls that don’t play, want the opportunity to do so.

Therefore, next Wednesday 8th March, the girls can come to school in their football kits (if they want to) and join in a whole hour of football in our MUGA with Mr Stell and Mrs Burcher.

They then learnt how to lash and bind sticks together to make a photo frame…SMILE!

The theme of their worship was ‘Speak Out!’ They planned and delivered a PowerPoint and role play, discussing the importance of talking about your feelings and sharing worries…no matter how small!

They introduced the children to our new Worry Boxes and explained how there will always be someone to listen to them

Well done to our Well-being Warriors for planning such a thoughtful worship and showing the children that it’s good to talk!

All of them had to learn a floor and vault routine and perform in front of judges and parents.

They were all a credit to themselves and the school and they should be proud of their achievements. Well done!

The children had a great time completing activities such as:

Den Building

Making Clay models

Team activities

Marshmallows on a fire

Puzzles

Natural Art

And lots more!

It’s was so lovely to see children from a range of schools getting to know each other!

We can’t wait to do more things like this with the other schools in our area.

The violet team were very busy, with Mrs Harper, creating marble runs! Very impressive and great team work

We have seen some wonderful clothes today that truly sum up the children as individuals!

The museum is free to visit (not including the workshop activities which are part of their education programme), and they will be having a special exhibition about dinosaurs during half-term if you're looking for ideas for a day out!

How exciting

The children tasted everything that was made and rated each out of ten. The flatbread and zabadee were voted the favourites overall.

I think you can see by their faces how much they enjoyed it! some excellent independent writing by the children.

We made our classroom into a church. It is his job to welcome babies into God's family and tell everyone their name.

This week we reflected on when Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days. Learning about Jesus’s fast can teach us a lot about him, about the importance of time alone with God, and about what we can learn when we step away from physical comfort and embrace difficulty for a period of time.

Such a positive meeting full of wonderful ideas of how to support our school community.

We are very lucky to have such enthusiastic parents

Keep an eye out for updated information on the newsletter this Friday about upcoming events and a breakdown of what they have donated to school recently!

WOW and well done to these four pupils from Year 4 and Year 6 who are our first Millionaire Readers of this academic year.

These boys have all read over a million words since September and have been recognised for this with their Millionaire certificates.

It's great to see their passion for reading!

I wonder who will be next?

They enjoyed making some bird feeders and had some hot chocolate too

They looked at old wooden toys, new plastic versions of the same thing and then created their own cup and ball toy! Their challenge was to beat Jane Austen’s score of 30 catches in a row! I wonder if any made it…
