Everyone is Different, Everyone is Special
Fri 20 Mar 2015Everyone is Different, Everyone is Special Day
Today we have been celebrating the fact that everyone is different and special, with a particular focus upon raising awareness of Down's Syndrome. We have all been wearing 'lots of socks' to support the Down's Syndrome Association' and we had a fabulous cake sale to raise money for them. Thank you for all the donations of delicious cakes! Have a look at these children (and adults!) wearing their socks creatively!!

Solar Eclipse
Fri 20 Mar 2015Solar Eclipse
Although the weather was a bit of a let down today, with thick cloud meaning that we couldn't see much of the eclipse at all, we all got out on the playground to watch. We were all lucky enough to have special 'Eclipse Glasses', which were donated by Mr and Mrs Higginson, in memory of their late son George. They are hoping to raise enough money to open an observatory in Williamson's Park, with a telescope for the local public to use.

Pupil Parliament
Thu 19 Mar 2015Pupil Parliament
On Tuesday, Mrs Green, Mrs Price and four members of our school council visited County Hall, in Preston to meet with lots of other school groups from Morecambe and Lancaster.
We caught the train to Preston and met in the official 'Council Chambers', which was very exciting! We felt very important!
Each school had to give a short presentation about 'What makes Great Britain great?' Our councillors had worked together to create a super acrostic for 'Great Britain' and presented this very well to the audience. We also enjoyed listening to presentations from other schools and we leant all sorts of things about explorers, inventors, athletes, industry, farming and lots more.
After lunch, we enjoyed taking part in sessions on 'Global Links' and we were given our next challenge, which we will prepare for the next Pupil Parliament meeting, which takes place at Lancaster University in June.
