Learning about the Romans ...

Year 3 had a wonderful time learning all about the Romans at Lancaster City Museum…

"The world of reality has its limits, the world of imagination is boundless"-Jean-JaquesRoussceau

Imaginations have been running wild this week at lunch time. With glimpses of witches flying high in the sky and their echoing cackles ringing out across the school, the children discovered that with a little imagination, anything is possible. In fact, I do believe that one was spotted today running amok in the playground. Apparently, she has long, red, curly hair, a rather large nose, black dress, pointy hat and of course a broomstick. If you should see her flying around, then please do let us know!

Meanwhile across the rest of the playground, we have had games of Sardines, Disney character charades and a persuasive letter being written to Boris Johnson with an urgent appeal to tackle global warming.

Mr Nay, with the assistance of Mr Lyons, a past pupil, has delivered fun filled sporting activities such as bean bag target throwing and catch, cricket and general ball skills. The children have such a wonderful time with him and are always eager to share their sporting experiences with us.

Table of the Week: Keystage 1 table of the week goes to Bamber and for Keystage 2, Marsden. Thank you and well done children for making the dining room a delightful place to be.

Role Models of the Week: Role Models of the week for both Keystages are; Chloe Reception, Max Y2, India Y3, Reuben Y6. Thank you and well done to you all. You all have such wonderful qualities that shine through on a daily basis.

Jaqui’s Marvelous Manners: This week, Jaqui has been serving up a variety of delicious meals from a mid week roast to cheese whirls, followed by mouth watering desserts. The children have been leaving the hall looking very full, replenished, bursting with energy and ready to take on the afternoons learning and challenges. Marvelous Manners goes to: Rex and Sofia Y1 and Isabella and Jack Y3. Well done to you all and thank you for having marvelous manners.

Have a lovely weekend, let’s hope the sun keeps shining so that you can all enjoy some outdoor fun.

God Bless

Cruising down the river...

With the sun still shining and a picture gallery so full of landmarks it’s hard not to smile!

Changing Guards at Buckingham Palace!

Having a brilliant time - just seen the changing of the guards and now basking in the warm sunshine and looking forward to our River Cruise!

And so the adventure begins...

“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” -George Dorsey

What a wonderful start to the new year! It was lovely to see the children return this week with a smile on their faces and a sparkle in their eyes as they played.We really do feel blessed that we are able to share such wonderful moments with your children.

Every week we are finding it increasingly difficult to pick a Role Model and a a child with Marvelous Manners due to them all being so delightful in the dining room and outside. They show each other such kindness, love and compassion. With this in mind, we have decided that two children each week will receive these accolades.

Table of the week: KS1, We have started the new term off with a draw in keystage 1. Well done to Harcourt and Plessington. KS2, Harcourt. Well done to you all!

Role Models of the Week: KS1, Micheal and Natasja Y1. Well done to you both, there isn’t a day that goes by where you do not have a smile for those around you. Ks2, Frankie Y5 and Mary Ann Y6. Thank you and well done for being such role models to the other children in the school.

Jaqui’s Marvelous Manners: KS1, Lorrenzo and Grace Reception. KS2, Isabella and Rhys in Year 5. Thank you so much children for always being polite and using your manners.

Have a wonderful, fun filled weekend.

God Bless

Happy, curious and active new year!

What a wonderful start to our first meeting of the year when the councilors gave their approval on the drafts for the new trim trail equipment. Year six, along with Miss Hornby are going to meet with the contractor in the next few weeks and hopefully work will begin in time for everyone to enjoy an active spring.
Everyone brought such positivity to the meeting with suggestions for new games for whole classes to play together at break times, we are excited and curious to discover what other classes enjoy playing together, and we can’t wait to them try them out with our own class.
Councillors are now thinking big and are exploring options to replace the old train and ship, we already have lots of exciting ideas for fund raising, so who knows, a rocket, a helicopter or even a Noah’s ark!

Happy New Year!

As the time draws closer to taking down the Christmas decorations and tree for another year, as promised, here are the details for recycling your real Christmas trees.

You can book a slot for your tree to be collected on the 11th and 12th of January by Trinity Hospice volunteers at;

https://just-helping.org.uk/find-a-collection/trinity-hospice-blackppol/

Or alternately, you can drop your tree off at the following collection points:

• Coastguard Station, North Beach

• Marine Bowling Club Car Park, Fairhaven Lake

• Lowther Gardens, Lythum

• Rawstorne Sports Centre, Feckleton

By recycling your tree, you will be helping in the conservation of the Sand Dunes, a beautiful piece of coastline that deserves to be saved.

If you would like to help with the conservation project, all you need to do is pop down to North Beach car park from Tuesday 4th February to Thursday 6th February, 10am- 3pm.

We would like to thank you for your continued support in looking after our precious world and wish you all the very best for 2020.

Wishing you all a happy and Holy Christmas, filled with magical moments with your family.

As the week has drawn to a close, the dining hall has been filed with an air of excitement and yet a sense of calmness and reflection. Christmas songs have played in the background as the children have dined. Yesterday, the children were joined by members of staff to have a delicious Christmas dinner. Thank you Jaqui, Sharon and Francis for providing such a wonderful feast!

A huge thank you must also go out to the Year 6 children, who have helped so graciously throughout the term, inside and out. It has truly been appreciated. Thank you to you all.

The Autumn term has certainly flown by and it has been a privilege to be able to witness some magical moments as the children have relaxed during the lunch time period. We have been fortunate to capture some of these moments on camera……..

Thank you children for such a wonderful term!

We look forward to sharing more magical moments with you in the new year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

With a song in your heart...

Today our choir visited Stella Matutina Residential Home to perform a medley of favourite Christmas songs. They raised their voices to entertain and brought real moments of nostalgia for the residents. Before and following the performance they chatted and shared stories amidst laughter and smiles. It really was lovely to see generations coming together.
