Last Friday, Mrs Bridge and our choir took part in the Last Choir Singing finals at St George's Hall in Blackburn. We were delighted to have got through the heats stage and earn a place in the final, where we knew we would be competing against the nine best schools in the whole of Lancashire. So, as you can imagine, Mrs Bridge and the choir have been working extremely hard and dedicated many more hours to rehearsals to prepare for such a prestigious competition. And guess what? All that hard work and dedication paid off!! After an extremely hard fought battle, against some fabulously talented choirs, we achieved second place (or first runner up) just behind Norbreck Primary school from Blackpool, who were phenomenal on the night. Mrs Bridge, the choir and all the parents who attended the event were absolutely thrilled. We are so very proud of them all. Well done!

We held our Sports Day this morning, and the weather was beautiful - if a little warm to be so active. Every class took part in a carousel of different sporting activities competing for their house teams, before taking part in the individual running races. The House Team winners were: Green (St Patrick) with 161 points, in 2nd place were the Red team (St George) with 160, in 3rd were the Blues (St Andrew) with 156 and the Yellow team (St David) won 147 points - so it was a fiercely fought competition.

The children performed heroically in such warm weather and gave 100% effort. They demonstrated great sportsmanship, cheering one another on and encouraging stragglers to cross that finish line - which everybody did! Well done to Miss Robson, our PE leader, for organizing our first Sports Day post-pandemic, and all the children for throwing themselves into it. Thank you to all the parents who took time out to cheer the children on, and those who were brave enough to take part in the Mums' and Dad's races. Here are some photographs of the carousel of team sports activities, see Class Dojo for photographs of the individual winners.

We have had a brilliant day today celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with all children carrying out a range of creative activities in the classroom and taking part in a street party style lunch, with lots of flag waving and patriotic singing involved.

We were delighted by the number of children who had brought in a Jubilee crown/hat to celebrate the occasion. All children had the opportunity to show off their wonderful creations at the Jubilee street party and two winners were chosen for each class, who then took part in a final hat parade, so that I could select the two ultimate winners. These children were: Alfie (Year 2) and James C (Year 3). A huge well done to everyone who got into the spirit of things and made the effort to create a crown – you looked amazing!!

Here are some photographs of the event - enjoy!
