Year 3/4 Christmas Party
We’ve had a fab time this afternoon at our Year 3/4 Christmas Party. We played so many games including musical bumps, corners and pass the parcel. A big thank you to Mrs Ham for letting us visit’ Santa’s Grotto’ to choose a little gift too. Merry Christmas everyone!
Year 1-A visit from Santa!
Wow what a day! Year 1 have had a visit from Santa and all received a special gift for being superstars all year.
Year 3 D.T: Making our Christmas Photo Frames
Year 3 used either wooden lollipop sticks or wooden dowels to create their photo frames. Some children painted their materials, before using a hot glue gun to create the frame. The children who chose to use the dowels, used a saw to cut the wood down to the correct size. We will be evaluating our finished products and thinking about what worked well and what we would change, if we were to design and make our photo frames again.
Reception Christmas Party
Today in Reception we had our Christmas Party! We played Musical Statues, Musical Bumps and Pass the Parcel. The children were amazing singers and dancers! At the end, we all got into a circle and each child had the choice to go into the middle and show everyone their amazing dance moves!
Year 5 - Christmas Party
Year 5 have had a blast today! They have danced, played musical chairs, played kahoot online and taken part in pass the parcel which involved a forfeit.

D.T- Year 5- Yarn Christmas Card
Year 5 have used their skills learnt during D.T to make Christmas cards using Yarn. Some of the children have threaded a bead to their yarn to give that extra look.
Christmas lunch
We had a lovely Christmas lunch together as a school family today. Thank you so much Mrs Norton, Mrs Beech and Miss Norton for such a tasty meal and to all of our staff for serving the children. The children loved pulling crackers with their friends and enjoyed singing and dancing to Christmas songs.
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 2 - Making festive fruit kebabs
Year 2 making their fruit kebabs to sell at the Christmas Fair.
Year 2 - DT - Chopping skills
As part of making our fruit kebabs, year 2 have been learning to chop and organise their fruit in preparation to assemble their fruit kebabs. We learned both bridge and claw methods of cutting fruit in a tidy fashion to make our fruit kebabs more appealing.

Design and Technology- Christmas Fair
In D.T this term, the whole school have worked their absolute socks off. The children have made wooden reindeer ornaments, festive fruit kebabs with choc drizzle and marshmallows, fire engines, photo frames, festive sausage rolls, seasonal stockings and Christmas themed cushions. The children then had the opportunity to purchase their products at our school Christmas fair.
