Following votes by the children in each class, our new school councillors for this year have been elected and were announced in this morning's assembly. 

If you have any suggestions for naming our pair of gorgeous guinea pigs, please pop them in the box in the school entrance!

 

At the end of last term, our Y6 leavers attached their wishes for the future to balloons and let them go on their very last day at Torrisholme.

We had a message from Mr Jones in Formby, to tell us that one of the balloons had sailed all the way across the bay and landed in his garden!

He sent his very best wishes to all our Y6 children, hoping that all their wishes come true! 

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.

Year 2 have been learning about pets in their topic this half term. They decided that a class pet would be a great idea! After much consideration, they decided guinea pigs would make the best pet and they set about writing to Mrs Penney, to persuade her this was a good idea! Watch this space...

Go to the Class Pages to read some of Y2's letters:

Our Reception children came into school yesterday for their official first day at school! Look at all the fun they had!

Finally on display along the corridors is the fabulous art work created by last year's Y3 children, when they worked with local artist Chas Jacobs. Y3 took their inspiration from the local area and worked together under the guidance of Chas to produce these fabulous masterpieces!!
