Celebrating Captain Tom Moore’s Birthday

Children at school are celebrating the birthday of the inspirational Captain Tom Moore today. They made this amazing card for him!

We have also had some photos in of things that you have made at home. Look at the amazing spitfire Chloe made!

The Lockdown LOLathon!

Our next challenge is one for everyone to get involved in. Now the weather has turned, it’s about time we shared a few giggles to keep everyone smiling.

introducing...’The Lockdown LOLathon!’

We would like you to send in a short video of you telling your favourite joke which we can add to the LOL channel 😂😂😂

We will even arrange some prizes for the ones that get the most laughs.

Send your films to Mrs Price deputyhead@torrisholme.lancs.sch.uk and let’s all get ready to chortle!!

Acts of Kindness

One of the suggestions from the teachers at the start of the school closure was to try and think about acts of kindness at what is a difficult time for many people.

This one was sent in by the proud mum of Ethan in 2D who created some lovely pictures which he then gave to elderly and poorly neighbours. I am sure these pictures cheered them up no end. What a lovely thing to do.

We would love to hear from any other random acts of kindness. 

Well done to Grace in 3T who took her poorly neighbour’s dog for a walk!

Chloe in 2P made a lovely get well soon card to send to Boris Johnson!

The Children’s Channel

Hopefully  you have seen the many channels over on the Torrisholme TV section of the website that have been set up by the teachers. They contain all sorts of activities and videos - you can see your teacher read a story, enjoy a brain teaser, practise your Spanish, try out some science activities, even learn to use sign language alongside a song!

After watching his teachers, Elliott in Year 2 decided that he would like to record his own story which we all loved watching and listening to.

This gave us the idea for our next challenge! We would like the children to take over Torrisholme TV with their own channel. They could share a video for anything - a story like Elliott, a craft activity, a sports challenge, a ready steady cook type film, some entertainment in the form of music, dance or even magic! We would LOVE to see them! 

Get your thinking caps on and then send in your videos to Mrs Price deputyhead@torrisholme.lancs.sch.uk and become the next star of Torrisholme TV!

The ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ Challenge

This challenge comes from the musical maestros Mrs Jones and Mrs Hunter.

They would love you to perform and record your family version of the well known Morecambe theme tune, ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ and send it in to Mrs Price at deputyhead@torrisholme.lancs.sch.uk

We are hoping to put these together to make a fantastic, recorded Torrisholme performance.

There are bonus points for involving the whole family and you Camilo even add instruments, homemade or otherwise! Year 5, you should know this one especially well as you had been practising it for the music festival.

We can’t wait to see them.
