Year 5 Robinwood Trip
Our Year 5 children spent a wonderful weekend at Robinwood activity centre, in Todmorden, where they spent three fun-filled, action packed days getting very wet, muddy and tired!
Connie's Hair Cut
One of our superstars, Connie, this morning had her hair cut off by Mrs Penney and Mr Gittins in assembly!
Connie, who came up with the idea to contribute to our cancer charity fund-raising campaign, has raised over £500 in sponsorship, with donations coming in from parents, children and staff across the whole school.
In addition to raising such an amazing amount of money, Connie is also donating her two beautiful plaits to the Little Princess Trust, who make wigs fro children who have lost their hair during cancer treatment. What an amazingly kind and selfless think to do. We are so proud of her.
See class 6T's page to see the video of the moment Connie's hair was cut!
Junior Bake Off
What an amazing day we have had at school today! We are absolutely overwhelmed by the fantastic efforts of our families in today's Junior Bake Off competition! Thank goodness we had an expert judge, John, the pastry chef from the Midland Hotel, who chose the winners!
Children winning the star prize in each age group will be taken for afternoon tea at The Midland, prepared by John himself, next week.
School Closure Tuesday 5th July
School will be closed on Tuesday 5th July due to NUT strike action.
Balloon Update!
We have had many tickets returned this week, following our Race for Life balloon release. Amazingly, they have come from Rochdale, Macclesfield, Buckinghamshire, Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Leicestershire, Stoke-on-Trent and the winning ticket so far (pictured above) came all the way from France!! One ticket even had a £5.00 donation enclosed for our campaign - how very kind!
We will be presenting a prize to the person whose ticket travels the furthest at the end of term.

Family Bingo Night
A fun-filled night was had by all those attending our Family Bingo Night this evening! Another £120 raised to add to our totaliser! Thank you for your support.
Our Race for Life - Crushing Cancer a Mile at a Time
This week, our children have all been busy, taking 20 minutes out of class each day to run laps of the school field. Each time they managed to run 4 laps, they accrued 1 mile. Many children have been sponsored for their efforts and all the proceeds will go towards our 'Crushing Cancer' totaliser.
This afternoon, we celebrated their hard work by joining with parents, grandparents, brother, sisters and friends to run one last mile - a victory mile!
It was amazing to see so many family members joining in and we are sure that in total, we had over 1000 people running together!
We also held a poignant balloon release, letting over 350 pink balloons go, each carrying messages. The balloons themselves raised over £350!
A huge well done and thank you to everyone who took part. We look forward to presenting some medals on Monday in assembly!
