• Big Draw Festival AWARD Winners!!

  Mon 01 Oct 2018 M.Jones

  We had a wonderful day on Saturday at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool collection our ‘Big Draw Festival’ award for the best Primary entry. This is a global award with eight categories. We met a teacher from Australia and another from Prague. 

   

  We were truely delighted and surprised to find out we won based on our work last October. My thanks go to Mrs Hardwick and all the staff, Ms Barmer and Mrs Harris (Both Parents) for all their hard work and above all the children for their creative spirit. One of the team said ‘I enjoyed your video so much mainly because the children really looked engaged throughout the whole day’. The Arts  Leaders played a terrific part in the planning and delivery of the day too. 

   

  We wish we could have taken everyone on Saturday, maybe we should if we win again! 

   

  This is Year our Big Draw Festival will be rolled out across our Federation and Community. We can’t wait!! We will be holding it on Thursday 25th October on both sites, watch out for more information

  Fri 14 Sep 2018 Mrs Long

  The focus of this year for Eco Council will be Improving Biodiversity. We will be looking at cataloguing the wildlife immediately around the school building, especially

  on the big playground, and trying to encourage in new species. This term’s plans include installing a bat box and new bird feeder, making a leaf refuge for mini beasts, and reinstating our Wellie planters. In the photo above, the Council are putting together an assembly on poisonous plants to tell the younger children why we need to be careful with wild berries and fungus.

• Sports Day Summer Fun 2018

  Fri 06 Jul 2018
  Wow, what an amazing morning of summer fun and sport. The whole school took part in a wide range of activities including both track and field events. All pupils had the opportunity to compete as part of their House Point Team and also against each other. Points were awarded and are all combined to see which House Point Team accumulated the most points. It was a hot day but with the huge support from parents who provided gazebos we were able to race and compete for longer.
