• GUINEA PIGS ARRIVE!

  Thu 18 Sep 2014

  Yesterday, Mrs Penney announced that following Y2's amazingly persuasive letters, they would be allowed guinea pigs!!!!!

  After much excitement, Mrs Penney and Mrs Price took four members of Y2 to the pet shop to buy all the things needed to care for their new pets.

  After a lot of research, Y2 compiled a list and we hit the shops!

   

  Following our trip, we are pleased to announce that Y2 are now the proud owners of two gorgeous guinea pigs (who are yet to be named)!

   

  The guinea pigs spent their first day in Mrs Penney's office getting accustomed to their new surroundings and will move to their new home, initially in 2L, very soon.

• Around the World Carnival

  Fri 27 Jun 2014

  Around the World Carnival

  On Friday 27th June, we joined together with Lancaster Road, Poulton-le-Sands and Morecambe Bay schools to create an enormous carnival on the promenade, in partnership with More Music Morecambe. A total of almost 1300 children took part! Each year group joined with children from the same year group in our partner schools, dressed in the colours of the country they have been learning about. They were accompanied by their own band and carnival songs from their country. A huge audience lined the promenade as we processed all the way from Morecambe Town Hall to The Midland Hotel. We all had a fabulous time! Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help to make this event possible.

  

• Thundernapping!

  Wed 26 Feb 2014

     Thundernapping!!

  On Wednesday 26th February, when Year 1 were out of school on an educational trip to Clitheroe Castle, their much loved pet dragon, Thunder, was dragon napped!

  Whilst the classroom was left unprotected, three villains planned, plotted and schemed to capture the dragon, tie him up and hide him.

  On returning from the trip the children were faced with an empty classroom and a ransom note.

  To rescue him, the children in class 1B/D had to find the people responsible for dragon napping Thunder, and that was what they intended to do...

   

  

• National Table Tennis Championships

  Sun 23 Feb 2014

  NATIONAL TABLE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS

  Torrisholme’s great table tennis adventure came to an end at Grantham with 3 narrow defeats against some of the country’s best young players in the last 16 of the National tournament on Sunday 23rd February.

  An exciting first match against Bradford Grammar School saw Torrisholme on the end of 3 five set defeats. Lucas, Matthew and Will each won a match, leading to a 5-3 defeat.

  Against Kingston-Upon-Hull, Torrisholme expected a heavy defeat. However, great performances from all the boys, especially Lucas and Matthew who won 2 and 1 match respectively, saw Torrisholme again suffer a 5-3 defeat.

  In the last match, with the boys naturally exhibiting signs of tiredness, Lucas and Matthew were again victorious in a 6-2 defeat. Lucas left the tournament as the strongest number 4 player, having defeated the other three number 4s, as well as a number 3, on his way to a record of: played 6, won 4. Matthew won 3 of his matches, Will won 1 and Bradley, although he battled hard, didn’t manage to record a victory.

  All the boys played with talent, spirit and sportsmanship and can be extremely proud of their efforts this year.

  

• Reception WOW Day

  Thu 13 Feb 2014

  WOW DAY

  On Thursday 13th February, Reception held a WOW day. WOW day involved the parents coming into school to celebrate their child's learning and achievements to date. The time spent in the classroom provided opportunities for parents to experience their child's learning environment and to look at their child's learning journeys. The children loved having their parents in school and really enjoyed showing them their favourite places to work in the classroom. We plan to have more WOW days throughout the year!
