Y6 Shakespeare Festival

Today, Y6 were joined by a fabulous turnout of parents and grandparents, who came to join their 'Shakespeare Festival'.

Y6 have been working on a topic called 'Treading the Boards', which has involved work on Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Today's festival included a modern adaptation of the play, which the children had written, performed with a shadow puppet show. Parents were also treated to performances of soliloquies,  a lesson in Elizabethan dancing and grilled with a Shakespeare quiz!

Thank you to all who attended! Please see the class pages for films of the puppet show, soliloquies and dancing!

Run 4 the World

R4TW is a fun, family event which is taking place on Morecambe promenade on Saturday 16th May. It includes a 1km, 5km and 10km event, all of which can be walked, jogged, run or even pushed (if you're in a pushchair!).

Key Stage 2 Snack Bar

This week, our snack bar has proved very popular! The children have enjoyed snacks such as cheese and crackers, rice cakes, oranges, pineapple, apples, bananas, yoghurts and raisins. In total, Mrs Winder and her team of assistants have served over 700 snacks this week! Wow!

If you would like a snack, you can either bring £1, to buy a 'snack pass' for the week, or 20p a day. We look forward to feeding you soon!!

Snack Bar Poster Competition Winners

Mrs Winder was delighted to receive over 50 entries for her poster competition, which was looking for a name for our new healthy snack bar and a poster to encourage children to choose healthy snacks. It was so difficult to choose, we decided on 6 winners, who will all receive a free snack every day next week! Congratulations to Holly in 5G, who named out new snack bar 'Torrisholme Tuckers'! Check out the winning entries!
