Busy Week!

We have a very busy week coming up as we approach half term. We are having the grand opening of our Eco Garden on Thursday and to help make it a special day we will be having a picnic lunch on the school field. Children aer asked to bring a packed lunch to school with them, if you have already paid a full week for kunches and provide a packed lunch for your childthen you will only need to pay for four days on our first week back (Monday 11th June). The kitchen staff will also be providing a packed lunch for any children who receive free school meals. Mrs Brown will be making some special biscuits for the children to mark the day.

Non Uniform Jubilee Day

Friday is non-uniform day and we'd like to have a red, white and blue theme to mark the Queen's Jubilee. The children are asked to donate a bottle on teh day and all donations will go towards the PTFA led school fayre later next half term. Mrs Brown in the kitchen will be making some extra special short bread for the day as well.

First Communions

We had glorious weather for our First Communions last Saturday morning at St. Cuthbert's Church. The mass was beautiful and the children all loked very smart in their dresses and shirts and ties. There are many people to thank for making it such a special day, the musicians, Father Peter, the catechists, the parents who did the breakfasts, staff from school and parents and families for helping prepare their children for the sacrament.

High Borrans

Our Yr 5 & 6 children had a fantastic weekend at high Borrans and arrived back safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Thank you to the staff and parents who gave up their weekend to take the children and supervise them whilst there and thank you to the brilliant staff at High Borrans who provide the children with such well organised and supervised activities.

Final Day At High Borrans

Well our final day has arrived and we're all set to have breakfast and go on a long walk which we're told has some spectacular views. The weather is still amazing. Everyone has tidied out their rooms and packed their bags- we'll be bringing plenty of washing home!

Day Three At High Borrans

We've had another brilliant day and the weather has stayed beautiful. Our groups all swapped activities today so anyone who did canoing and absailing yesterday went caving today and vise versa. People in the canoes even had the chance to turn their canoes into submarines! The caving was excellent and we made it through some tight spaces under the Ribblehead Viaduct. We also saw loads of motor bikes on their way to meet up at Kirkby Lonsdale- it looks very impressive. Tonigh we're doing the night line and having a camp fire and tomorrow we're going on a walk up a mountain!

Day Two At High Borrans

We arrived at High Borrans early yesterday morning and got straight into our activities. We went canoing and mountain river scrambling- everyone got soaked and it turned in to a massive water fight- brilliant!! The food is lovely and we've got loads of choice. The staff are wonderful as well and are helping us all try out new things.
