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.

This Week In Y4, we have enjoyed having Kaylie as she is leaving today and it's PJ day! We had a party for Kaylie😺! Also, we had a VERY difficult maths challenge.It was a fidget spinner mystery. Mr Simpson dunked the Y5 fidget spinners in the bucket of paint and he left them to dry so the fidget spinners could not spin (This was a fake mystery and NO Y5 fidget spinners were harmed in the making of the puzzle!)
