We even had a special visit from Father Christmas who spent lots of time hearing what presents the children would like for Christmas. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us. All together we raised a brilliant £726.94.

Children in Need 'The Great Spotacular'
Friday 18th November we held our fundraiser 'The Great Spotacular' for Children in Need. This year to fit the theme we asked the children to wear spots or bright colours for our non uniform day. Our class competition was to guess 'How Many Spots there were on Pudsey.' Nursery's competition was to design a new eye patch for Pudsey Bear. Well done to the winners in each class. Thank you for all your support we have raised £145.55
Y2 - Hand Washing
This afternoon the children learned the importance of washing their hands. Kasim visited school to teach the children about germs, how they spread and how we can stop them spreading by washing our hands and using hand sanitiser. The children used a special gel on their hands and looked at the ‘germs’ under a UV light. They washed their hands and checked again to see how well they had washed the germs away. The children then thought about the importance of cleaning their nails and in between their fingers when washing as these were the places that the germs remained.

We have made beautiful poppies and even created a wreath to put on our war grave up at Darwen cemetery. We have had a fantastic week with lots of learning and fun.
Y2 English Experience Day
As part of our English unit, the children enjoyed their campfire experience day. We sang songs, listened to stories and even enjoyed smores and hot chocolate.
Y2 Science - Testing Materials
This week in Science, the children investigated the best material to make an umbrella. They tested cling film, tissue, tin foil, a plastic bag and kitchen roll. They found 3 of the materials were waterproof but decided the plastic bag would make the best umbrella as it’s also stronger.
Y6 - Collaborative Poem
This morning Year 6 wrote a collaborative poem all about a boat on a stormy sea. I think you’ll agree with me that they have used some wonderful vocabulary!
Y1 - Collaborative Art - Fireworks
In art and design year one have been creating a collaborative picture of the night sky on bonfire night. They used chalk, crayon and oil pastels to create the effect.
Reception Class - Creating Rockets
Reception Class have been creating rockets by cutting out 2D shapes and sticking them together.
Reception - Class Worship
During class worship we have been looking at the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi. We worked together in two teams to 'stick together' as Ruth and Naomi did. Our task was to carry a balloon around the classroom without using our hands. The children came up with some very good ideas on how to transport the balloon.
