Christmas Fair - Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas Fair this evening. It was the first one since the pandemic so it was overwhelming to see such a brilliant turn out and a return to normality. Please see the photos for the winners of the raffles. Please message me if you have a winning ticket and send a photo of your tickets. Thank you so much to our choir for entertaining us. I’m sure you helped to get everyone in the festive mood. A massive thank you to our friends of St Barnabas (FOSB) volunteers and staff for manning the stalls. Also, a huge thank you to all parents and carers for your generosity over the last few weeks with your donations of bottles, toys and chocolate. A special mention to the Merry family for donating the proceeds of their hand made decorations to school too. Thank you so much for your generosity. We have raised a wonderful amount of money to put towards our school mini bus, which like I have mentioned before, will help to reduce the cost of trips for all of our parents and enable us to enter more events and competitions. We have some things leftover from our tombolas and nativity concerts so we will be donating them to DARE( Darwen Asylum and Refugee Enterprise) and the local food bank. These will be passed on to children in need this Christmas. Many thanks for your continued support and generosity. You truly are wonderful parents and your children are simply amazing, Mrs Ham

Year 3 D.T: Christmas Photo Frames

Over the course of this term, Year 3 have been busy planning and designing their own Christmas themed photo frames. We started by looking at existing photo frames and thinking about how we wanted to create our own free standing frames. The children then thought about which materials they would like to use, to create their photo frames. Some children have used wooden lolly sticks to build their frame, whilst others used wooden dowels and cut them down to the correct size. We are so pleased with the finished products and can't wait to purchase them at the Christmas Fair!
