Foodbank Friday

This Friday, we are collecting donations for Morecambe Bay Foodbank. All donations of non-perishable food items are gratefully received. The Foodbank are especially short of pasta sauce, instant mashed potato, tinned rice pudding, sponge puddings and custard.

Family Bike Ride and Picnic

As part of the 'Great Outdoors' topic, which all classes are working on, we are organising a Family Bike Ride and Picnic, which will take place on Saturday 6th June 2015, weather permitting.

We plan to meet at Salt Ayre car park, where cars can be left, ready to set off at 11.00am.

We will cycle along the cycle track to the Crook O' Lune, aiming to arrive for a picnic at about 12.45pm.

The distance from Salt Ayre to the Crook is about 9km (5.5 miles) and took Mr Gittins and Freddie about an hour (including a crash!).

Although this is a very easy ride, we are suggesting appropriate 'pick up points' along the way for families with younger children, who may like to do part of the trip.

Unfortunately, the café at the Crook is closed that weekend, so families will need to take food and drinks with them for the picnic.

All children must wear a cycle helmet, must be accompanied by an adult and remain the responsibility of that adult at all times.

If the trip has to be cancelled, a text will be sent to all parents before 10.00am on the Saturday morning.

We hope to see you there!

Y5 & 6 Street Art Exhibition

After spending a week working on their joint 'Art on the Street' project, the children in Y5 & 6 invited their parents in to show off their art work, rapping, jamming and their street dance moves!

To celebrate the end of their Tudor topic, the children in Y4 invited their parents in to showcase some of their work. Parents were treated to singing, ICT work and exhibitions put together by the children in small groups.

Year 4 Nepal Fund Raising

We are so proud of our Year 4 superstars, who were so moved after learning about the earthquake in Nepal that they decided they wanted to do something to raise money to help.

They worked together to plan a cake sale and a sponsored swim, raising over £800 for the appeal in total! What a fantastic achievement!

A big thanks to all those people who donated cakes, bought cakes and sponsored the swimmers and a huge well done to Year 4 for their kindness and hard work.

On Saturday, over 50 members of our school community met on the promenade to take part in 'Run 4 the World', either walking or running 1km, 5km or 10km! We were very proud of all those taking part it was especially lovely to see so many parents and past pupils joining in as part of Team Torrisholme!
