• Y5 Space Sleepover and Exhibition

  Thu 13 Feb 2014

  SPACE SLEEPOVER AND EXHIBITION

  Torrisholme’s first ever Space Sleepover was a marvellous success, in spite of there being no stars to see. The children returned to school at 6:00pm and spent two hours completing their research and putting together their exhibits. They then went outside for an hour and used a real-life telescope. We also used iPads and iPhones to plot where the stars were. After returning inside, children had toast and hot chocolate and settled down to watch ET.

  In the morning, with the hall transformed into a museum exhibit, parents were invited to wander round and learn about topics such as Neil Armstrong, animals in space and telescopes. Children acted as experts and answered all the questions that were thrown at them. Parents were very complementary about the work the children had put in to make such a professional exhibition.

  

• Y3 Brazilian Carnival Day

  Wed 12 Feb 2014

  YEAR 3 CARNIVAL DAY

  On Wednesday 12th February, Rick came into school from More Music Morecambe and held workshops with each Year 3 class. One class learned samba rhythm and the other merengue.

  Children prepared Brazilian savoury pastries, fruit salad and lemonade. They also made head dresses which they wore to perform and dance samba steps for parents. Parents were then invited to enjoy our Brazilian food and drink!

  Many a samba shimmy and box step was seen!

  Thank you to all who came and showed their support. We raised £66.67 so we can now sponsor a frog!

• Y6 Robin Wood Trip

  Fri 20 Sep 2013

  Year 6 Robin Wood Residential Trip

  In September 2013, Year 6 went on their residential trip to the Robin Wood Activity Centre in Todmorden.

  The children took part in some fantastic activities, including raft building, absailing, caving and canoeing. I think you will agree the children were very brave, and everyone made a great effort in taking part in some challenging activities.
