• All the fun of the fair!

  Fri 30 Nov 2018
  The new-style Christmas Fair was a great success! Children had a fabulous afternoon participating in all the many activities provided for them and came out with arm-fulls of goodies. Hopefully they shared their winnings with their parents! Many thanks to Faye Davies, PTA members, parent volunteers and TAs who gave up their time to help make this event so much fun for the children.

• Year 1/2 Trip

  Tue 27 Nov 2018
  Children in Years 1 & 2 really enjoyed their day out relating to their Art and Science work on Tuesday 27th December. After a bracing walk to see and touch the Antony Gormley sculptures at Crosby Beach, it was on to the Walker Art Gallery to immerse ourselves in beautiful periodic sculptures. There was so much to see in the World Museum too, including all sorts of animals from fish and insects to birds and mammals - not to mention African masks relating to our multi-cultural work. What a great experience!

  

• Remembrance service

  Thu 15 Nov 2018

  Along with St Thomas' and St Greggs' we joined forces to remember those who gave their lives so we could have ours. It was a very moving church service. Many thanks to St Greggs for hosting.

  There will be a performance by Quantum Theatre Productions on Monday 12th November and a Remembrance service at St Gregory's Catholic Church at 2pm on Thursday 15th November. 

  Please have a look at our wonderful activities below. 

  

• Cross Country

  Thu 08 Nov 2018

  Erin Griffin made it a clean sweep for the second year running winning the final cross country race on the MADCOS calendar. She lead from start to finish and despite the muddy conditions, she was a comfortable winner. Ella Jones supported Erin and brought home the silver medal. Only Ella's second cross country race but she is learning the ropes very quickly. As usual all our runners were super. Year 4,5 and 6 were represented by the Daniels (x3), Annie and Chloe. Well done to everyone for their hard work and many thanks to our parents for your super support.

• Year 1 & 2 Remembrance Workshop

  Tue 06 Nov 2018
  Year 1 and 2 took part in a fantastic workshop based on World War I and honouring those who had died. The lovely Mrs Ashby from Real Histories brought this to life for us. Some children even dressed in character and all learned so much through drama and practical work.
