  The Big Pedal Is Here!

   

   

  From Monday 2nd March, Torrisholme School are registered for the BIG PEDAL. This is a nationwide event that encourages children - and parents - to cycle or scoot to school every day.

   

  A total is taken each day of how many people have come to school by bike or scooter, this is recorded on a national website and prizes are given to the most active school. Points are awarded for each participant - children/parents who cycle earn more points for school than those who scoot (although both count).

   

  It would be great for as many children/parents as possible to get involved with this project. It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it every day - every little helps. Bikes and scooters can be locked in the bike sheds or along the back fence.

   

  Please ensure children are cycling safely and wear a helmet at all times!

  Garage Nativity

  On Sunday 21st December, one of our Y4 pupils, Jessica, organised a nativity in her garage. She gathered her friends and family to star in the show called, 'The Donkey's Christmas' and served cups of tea and coffee with mince pies. In total, Jessica raised £250, which she donated to St John's Hospice. Well done to Jessica and all her friends and family!
