• Daphne Durham

  Thu 29 Nov 2018

  Daphne Durham, a school adviser for the Blackburn Diocesan Board of Education, visited school and led our act of collective worship. She spoke to the children about the schools she has visited in the Solomon Islands. The children explored the difference between those schools and the schools we are fortunate to have in England. The children thoroughly enjoyed dressing in authentic clothing from the islands.

  Stephen and Megan from the ‘Life Education’ visited school and taught the children a variety of life skills, ranging from the importance of a healthy body and mind to the dangers of medicines, drugs and smoking.

• Gawthorpe Hall Trip 2018

  Fri 16 Nov 2018

  The whole school visited Gawthorpe Hall and participated within three different workshops focused on the centenary of Remembrance. They all designed and made their own authentic WW1 postcards and devised pieces of expressive poetry, comparing life before, during and after WW1. They also learnt about the Shuttleworth family, who lived at Gawthorpe Hall. The trip then concluded with an authentic WW1 drill sergeant teaching the children basic drills and explaining what life in the trenches was like. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

  

• Roald Dahl Day 2018

  Fri 16 Nov 2018

  The children looked fantastic in their Roald Dahl costumes; it was pleasing to see all their creative ideas. The children loved talking about how they created their own costumes with family members. Throughout the day the children learnt various interesting facts about the life and works of Roald Dahl. They also enjoyed a range of craft activities and shared their favourite characters and stories.
