• Get your grown ups gardening

  Fri 21 Oct 2016 Mr. Matthews

  Today, our wonderful Mrs Squelch and her talented gardening team, invited the Reception children's parents/grandparents to school to help in the garden. The children and parents worked and played together in our school gardens.

  Many thanks to all those who were able to join us today, we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as the children did.

   

   

  

• Bethany Family Visit

  Thu 20 Oct 2016

   

  The Bethany Family came into school this morning to talk to us about life in Tanzania.  The choir sung beautifully and the whole school was captivated by their performance.  They also talked about their lives and showed how to carry water on your head!  Bethany is funded entirely on public donations (mainly from the East Lancs area) and money collected at this mornings assembly was passed onto them.  We also have a collection tin in school for any further donations.  We also have calendars on sale for £2.00 promoting the Bethany Project.  If you would like details of where the choir a performing next then please see their website www.bethanyfamily.net

• Zoolab visit school

  Zoolab visited school today. As part of their class topics, children in Y1/2 and Y4 had the opportunity to get close to lots of animals which you might not ordinarily get a chance to.

  

• New School Council

  Mon 03 Oct 2016 Mr.Matthews

  Our brand new School Council met for the first time on Friday.

  They had some super ideas on how we could make it really clear to everyone who they were. One of them was to have a special coloured sweatshirt with council written on. So we are going to have some printed and they will be presented to them at a Shine assembly very soon.

  Here they are, looking smart in their own clothes due to our Macmillan coffee morning.

  

• Whitehall in Bloom

  Mon 03 Oct 2016 Mr. Matthews

  The annual Whitehall in Bloom competition took place recently, with the awards being made on Thursday 29th September.

  Ashleigh always does well in this competition. Sadly, as we were the only school to take part, we were in competition with all the other garden groups, rather than just schools. Despite this we still came second overall. An amazing achievement!

   

  Many thanks to our superb gardening team, led as ever by Mrs Squelch.
