• Dragon Egg Competition

  Mon 25 Mar 2019 Mr. Matthews
  Darwen Rotary club are again sponsoring a Dragon Egg Decoration event, which our school thoroughly enjoyed taking part in last year. The event is part of local St George’s Day celebrations.

   

  The finished eggs will be displayed in the market hall annex in Darwen on Saturday 27th April, where they will be judged.

  There will be three trophy prizes, 1st. 2nd and 3rd.

   

  Anybody wishing to keep their eggs can collect them straight after the event, otherwise they will be disposed of. The eggs wont be coming back to school sadly.

   

  Tonight, you will have seen that your child has brought a blank egg home, which they can decorate and return to school on Friday 5th April. Due to the Easter holiday, the Rotary club are collecting our eggs before we finish for the holidays. Please note, that once the Rotary club have collected our eggs on Friday morning (5th April), any late entries will not be included in the display in town or judged as part of the competition.

   

  How children decorate their eggs is entirely up to them. Last year there was a big variety of designs used, there is no right or wrong way to do it. Good luck to everyone!

• Red Nose Day

  Fri 15 Mar 2019 Mr. Matthews
  It was Comic Relief today. Everyone looked very smart in their own clothes. With the money from having a non uniform day and the money from selling red noses, we raised £433 for the fantastic charities Comic Relief support all over the world. Well done everyone!

• World Book Day

  Thu 07 Mar 2019 Mr. Matthews
  It's World Book Day today. Children can come to school wearing their pyjamas and will spend the day reading and talking about the amazing books they have read. If each child brings a £1 in, every penny will go towards more wonderful books for our fantastic library.
