Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Robin Wood Update
Year 6 are having a fabulous time here at Robin Wood!
We arrived yesterday to be greeted by glorious sunshine and after a quick lunch and checking into our dorms, got cracking with a host of exciting activities.
Groups have been climbing, caving, have braved the dungeon of doom, the giant swing and the piranha pool, survived a blindfolded assault course and scaled the heights of the trapeze and the crate challenge.
After a tea of fish fingers, pizza and choc ices, the activities continued until some very sleepy looking children headed to their rooms at 10pm.
Everyone slept to some degree and the children were raring to go this morning with another round of activities, including groups hitting the lake for canoeing and raft building.
We have tried and failed to upload masses of photos! It turns out the wifi in an old castle is not the best!! We promise to upload them quickly on our return!
Curriculum Evenings
It was great to see so many parents at last week's Curriculum Evenings. We hope you found them helpful.
We have added Mrs Penney's presentation on changes to the assessments system to the website in the 'Useful Information' part of the 'Parents' section.
Foodbank Friday Harvest Collection
This Friday, we are holding our first 'Foodbank Friday' of the new school year, which will coincide with our harvest celebrations on Monday 5th October.
We have worked hard to support Morecambe Bay Foodbank over the past year, by holding monthy collections and fund raising events. The Foodbank and its volunteers do a fantastic job, providing regular food parcels for 3000 local people, including 1000 children.
If you are able to make a donation of any item of non-perishable food, please send it in to school with your child on Friday and it will be collected by the Foodbank to help local families.
The Foodbank are currently especially short of jars of pasta sauce, instant hot chocolate, long life milk and fruit juice, sponge puddings and instant custard.
Year 1 Bike Skills
Class 1M have been working with Annie and lots of superstar parent helpers to learn to ride their bikes without stabilisers. The children will be having 4 sessions with Annie, before 1D have their turn. After the first session, already 8 children were off!! Well done 1M!!
Our Newly Elected School Councillors
Last week, the children in each class voted for their new school council representatives. The School Council will be meeting each Friday to discuss how they can help to make our school even better!
Caught Reading!
As part of the summer reading challenge, Ms Thomas challenged the children to have their photograph taken when they are 'caught reading'! Email your photos to Mrs Price at deputyhead@torrisholme.lancs.sch.uk so we can add them to the website! Enjoy your summer reading!

Goodbye Year 6!
Today we celebrated the children in Year 6's last day at Torrisholme. They put on a fantastic assembly, packed with songs and memories to leave everyone searching for the tissues! Afterwards, they released balloons with their dreams on and attempted to make their getaway on the open top bus, whilst being waved off by the rest of the school. Unfortunately, there was a little drama, when the bus wouldn't start, but the day was saved by a team of parents, who got the bus going!! A special thank you to Mr Needham, who saved the day! The children then enjoyed a tour of Morecambe and an afternoon in the splash park! We wish you all well Year 6!!
