The whole class fun (James Blog No.35), by Mrs Pratten
Date: 25th Jul 2017 @ 2:16pm
The final 3 days In Year 4 have been very memorable. We have had a massive surprise as the ice-cream van has come and given us some ice lollies and ice-cream. We could have any ice lolly on ice cream under £1.20.
We enjoyed ourselves and most of us now have blue mouths so sorry about that parents! Parents Note: please make sure your child brushes his or her teeth thoroughly before going to bed. 😀 🍦

Children should bring in at least 1 plastic bag if not more into school on Monday. We would also like board games in school that include a dice if your child is happy and we will try not to loose the pieces or damage them (Monopoly is a good choice).

Music Mania, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 12th Jul 2017 @ 6:58pm
The members of the choir from year 3 and 4 spent the day at Penwortham Girls High today. They were holding there very own Arts Week and had invited us to take part in Music Mania. The children had the opportunity to play either a steel drum or a drum known as a Djembe and compose a piece of music. During the day they also practised 2 songs which they had been learning in school with our very own Mrs Bolton and Mrs Little from Girls High.
At the end of the afternoon, parents arrived to watch their performances. We were also treated to an advance showing of songs and drama sketches from Girls High children.
It has been a fabulous day, the children behaved impeccably and were amazing. Well done.

There were some fabulous tables and graphs.
