• Superhero Day

  Fri 10 May 2019
  A fabulous morning was had with the ROCK FM team coming down to school with their trucks, Batmobiles and Avengers cars. The road was a hive of activity and the children got to sit in some super stylish sports cars. They all looked great in their super hero outfits. We raised £168 for a very worthy cause.

  

• The Willow Garden Project

  Thank you to the Willow Garden Project in Fleetwood who kindly donated some home grown strawberry plants for our gardening club.  The Willow Garden Project is a food growing community garden for adults with disabilities and mental health problems.  The school is starting a gardening club for the lower juniors in the next couple of weeks so the strawberry plants will be a great addition to the planters.

  Thank you to Pamela and Neil from the Willow Garden for taking the time to show us around their facility and for passing on some of their expert gardening tips!

• Rock FM Cash for Kids Schools' Challenge

  Fri 05 Apr 2019 Jane Coupland

  A huge thank you to all our children, parents, staff, governors and local community for their help in raising money for our Schools' Challenge. We had a very short period of time to raise as much money as possible and Cash For Kids agreed to match fund any amount raised up to £2000.  We will be using the money towards a holiday club for our children.  We were overwhelmed to raise a grand total of £4012.26.

  Mrs Coupland (School Business Manager) and Mrs Ollerton (Family Support Worker) were delighted to be told the final amount raised at the Rock FM Studios this morning.  We would also like to pass our enormous thanks to the Cash for Kids staff who support our school so well and who give us these amazing opportunities.

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

• April Fool’s Day Maths

  Tue 02 Apr 2019

  On 1^st April 2019 we had a fabulous and exciting ‘Maths Day’.  The morning was filled with the children discovering new maths skills and creating art work using maths as its base.  In Year 6 the children were trusted with compasses with which they calculated different radii to draw various sized circles.  They then used  these circles to create artwork.  Paul Klee’s ‘The Castle and the Sun’ was the piece of art Year 3/4 used to produce their own interpretation using the basic maths shapes.  Symmetry was another theme used across the school.  In the afternoon, the parents were invited into their child’s class to see how maths is taught and help solve the problems set by the teacher using ‘Bar Modelling’.  Lots of fun was had.

• Celebrating the feast of St Josephs

  Fri 22 Mar 2019

  Our school , parish and community celebrating the feast of St Josephs, our patron saint, on Tuesday 19^th March

   

  The celebration began with Mass at St Joseph’s church celebrated with the Bishop Paul.

  The children then enjoyed hot cross buns; followed by art and craft activities linked to St Joseph.

   

  The parish joined us in school for refreshments.

  It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the life of St Josephs and the significance of his role in Jesus’s life.
