• Book Bonanza

  Thu 25 Jun 2015

  We have just taken delivery of a superb collection of brand new books to restock our library. This is part of our school's commitment to promoting reading for pleasure.

   

  Some of the books were donated by Pearson, as part of our National Reading Culture Award, and some were provided by Scholastic, as commission for running a book fair earlier this year.

• Bikeability Training Year 5

  Thu 25 Jun 2015
  Well done to the 27 Year 5 pupils who took part in Bikeability Training. Pennine Active came into school to train pupils. The training was free under a Government scheme. Part one took place on the school yard and if pupils passed this they then took part in part two where they went out on local roads for their test. The children really enjoyed the training and now all feel a lot more confident in road safety on their cycles. Thank you to Pennine Active for training us.

• Read for My School 2015

  Fri 10 Apr 2015
  Congratulations to all the children in Key Stage Two who took part in the national reading competition, Read for My School which ran from January to April. The children were challenged to read as many books as they could from a wide range of genres and make their own choices as readers.

   

  Our school is one of the top scoring schools in our region for average reads per pupil.

   

  A special well done to those children who were chosen as the most enthusiastic readers in their class. They were each presented with a fantastic prize of a specially designed bag filled with books and treats.

  Year 3/4 Netball - Padiham vs Lowerhouse

  |

   

   

  The newly established year 3 and 4 Netball team played their first game on Wednesday against Lowerhouse Junior school and won their debut game 9-1! Their commitment at playtimes, lunchtimes and afterschool clubs reflected on their fantastic performance and the school is very proud of their positive attitude on and off court.

   

  Three year 6's gave up their time to umpire this game and they did a great job!

   

  Thank you to all the parents that came to support the school, the children for your fantastic performance and behaviour, the three year 6's that umpired the game, Shuttleworth for allowing us to use your sportshall and your young leaders for managing the game.

   

  The school would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs McInness's husband Mr McInness for taking some fantastic photo's on the day.
