Sport Relief 2016

As you will be aware, it is Sport Relief on Friday 18th March. We would like the children to wear something sporty or non-uniform with a sporty accessory! This is also a great opportunity to share any sporting achievements. If your child would like to bring in any photos, vcertificates, medals etc, there will be an opportunity within the day to share them.

Finally, classes will be organising a sporting activity to encourage health and fitness. We are just asking for a donation. Many thanks in advance. 

Year 6 Young Voices

Our Year 6 children joined a choir of 7000 other children to perform at the MEN Arena last night! It was an AMAZING night and we have some very sleepy children in school today!

Betty Balloon's Visit!

This afternoon, a very excited audience of children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of story telling from Betty Balloon! Betty used balloon model props to bring a range of stories to life starring lots some of the children as the characters. She also told us some great new stories, based on the plots of traditional stories that we all know and love. A fun-filled afternoon for everyone!

Tadpoles!

Today, our Year 1 and Year 2 children were enthralled by visiting theatre company M6's performance of 'Tadpoles'. The show was performed by two superheroes and explored the issues of different strengths and weaknesses. We loved it!!!

School Councillors Visit Houses of Parliament

As part of the local Pupil Parliament, our Year 6 School Councillors and Mrs Price joined a group of over 70 pupils and teachers from other local primary schools to visit The Houses of Parliament in London.

We had a fantastic day learning about democracy and the British government. We joined the galleries in the House of Commons, where Jeremy Hunt was leading a debate on junior doctors which was being broadcast live on TV, the House of Lords and the Palace of Westminster. We took part in our own parliamentary debate in attempt to pass a new law and we met the secretary of our local MP, who answered all our questions.

We then has some time to take in the sights of London, including Downing Street, Horse Guards' Parade, Green Park and Buckingham Palace.

It was a fantastic day and Mrs Price was very proud of our two impeccably behaved School Councillors, who were a credit to Torrisholme.
