Year 4 Production - Robin Hood Men in Hoodies!

Over the last few weeks, the children in Year 4 have been working hard on their production and took to the stage this week for two triumphant performances! The play was packed with singing, dancing, fabulous costumes and hilarious jokes! Well done to all the children who took part, the teachers for all their hard work practising songs and rehearsing and all the teaching assistants who have worked hard on props and backdrops!

Year 5 Aztec Finale!

This afternoon, the children in Year 5 treated their parents to a fantastic finale to their Aztec topic. This included dancing, a ukulele interlude, sharing examples of their clay Aztec calendars, a fabulous feast of Aztec style/Mexican food and ended with an interactive quiz! Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who attended and contributed to the feast! See the class pages for films of the music and dancing!!

Table Tennis Team in National Finals

This weekend, Mr Gittins, Mrs Penney, four of our superstar table tennis players and their parents all travelled to Wednesbury for the last 16 national finals. We are very proud of our talented team! Please see the sports pages for a full report.

Everyone 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

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

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.

Red Nose Day

Today we have been raising money for Comic Relief by making our faces funny for money! How do you think we did?! Can you spot any funny faces that you recognise?

Go to the gallery section of the website to see a film of our funny faces in assembly...
