D.T- Year 5- Christmas themed cushions
This term for our design and technology unit, the year 5 elves have been busy making Christmas themed cushions. Prior to making the cushions, the children have carefully planned their cushions. They have learnt how to create button fasteners, button whole stitch, envelope fold, hidden stitch, running stitch, zig zag stitch, over stitch, and stitch embellish to give that wow factor. They have also made sure that the cushions are functional and aesthetic. They have also evaluated their finished products by answering a series of questions. We are super proud of the dedication and enthusiasm that the children have shown throughout the planning and making of these products. We can't wait to showcase our products at our Christmas Fair.
Danger- thin ice and cold water
Good evening parents and carers, during this cold spell, please remind your child of the dangers of walking on or playing near frozen lakes, ponds or reservoirs. We have had reports that some of our school children have been walking or playing around the ice on Jacks Key reservoir and they have been spoken to about the dangers of thin ice and cold water by our teachers. I’m sure you will have all seen the tragic news of the four young boys who have fallen through the ice in Solihull and three of them have sadly lost their lives and the fourth is fighting for his. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and all of the boy’s families. Let’s ensure that this awful tragedy doesn’t happen to any of our local children by reminding them of the dangers of playing near open water. Many thanks for your continued support, Mrs Ham
Carols by Candlelight
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the Carols by Candlelight Service. Our choir sang brilliantly and well done to Jenson for his lovely reading. It was wonderful to hear one of previous choir members, Isaac, singing a beautiful solo too. It really does feel like Christmas now.

Out of School Superstars
Along with our Values Winners this morning, we celebrated our ‘Out of School Superstars’. It was lovely to hear about all of the different activities that the children have been taking part in. This week we presented awards for dancing, gymnastics, swimming, kickboxing, Beavers and cheerleading. Well done to each and every child that celebrated on the golden podium!
Celebration Worship
In Celebration Worship this morning we looked at how our children continue to work so very hard in promoting our Christian and British values. We are all so very busy preparing for the Christmas Fair, school performances and Christmas Worship. We had our House Team Winners announced for this half term - Whitehall Park for the second consecutive time- well done. It is so lovely to see all of the children celebrating each others success as we had lots of awards for out of school sports today.
Inter- House Sports in FS and KS1
What a fantastic opportunity we had this morning taking part in the Inter- House Dodgeball Competition. Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 loved every second and we saw some great sportsmanship and tactical decision making. A huge thanks to The Sports Leaders for organising and running the event too!
Rotakids- Toy Collection
The Year 5 Rotakids have fulfilled their promise of helping the community and the world. Over the past few weeks, the children have been collecting used toys and soft toys for the needy families of Darwen and refugees living in Darwen. Some of the toys will also be sent to children in Ukraine, who have lost almost everything in the war. Amazing achievement from families, staff, and children.
Reception - Making Reindeer Baubles
This week we have made reindeer baubles to sell at our Christmas Fair. The children used their fingerprint for the nose, stuck on googly eyes and made their own antlers out of pipe cleaners. The children really enjoyed making them.
