We are so proud of our Y3/4 Dodgeball Team. They took part in the South Ribble Dodgeball Cluster Competition this week and came first! They worked hard during PE lessons to learn all the rules and played well in all their sets and worked well as a team. 

We have been learning about healthy eating and where our food comes from. As part of this we have been taste testing different bolognese sauces, cheap and expensive. On the whole, as a class, we preferred the cheaper sauce.

This week, Y3/4 worked hard at home to create their ‘Truthfulness Trees’, linked to our Christian value this half term. We are so impressed with their imagination and creativity. They were asked to make or draw a tree with bare branches, then add leaves with words or phrases about what…

In Year 1 and Year 2, we have been learning how to sew as part of our DT project! We had to thread our needles, which was very tricky but we persevered. Next, we practised a running stitch - we did a fabulous job and Miss Wallace was very proud of our hard work. We can’t wait to continue our…

On Monday afternoon we welcomed local author Rachel Walmsley to the infant class. She shared her newest book with the class and led a workshop focusing on how to create interesting characters which included the children drawing an extra dog character for Spotty the Dog Walker. 
The children had a…
