What an amazing day YR and guests had at the Guild Hall yesterday watching Cinderella!

The children had such fun and even one of our YR class managed to be invited on stage, where she told the whole audience that Mrs Deacon was the best teacher in the world – we agree!

Thanks to all the staff taking the children – a great day was had by all!

What a wonderful day was had by all on Friday – thank you to the many of you who came and supported our first ever Christmas fair.

We had so many stalls: tombola, jumbly jars, indian snacks, face painting, henna painting, tea/coffee cakes, calendar, book stall, arts and crafts, raffles and a nail bar to name but a few. Every one had a wonderful time and all the staff are delighted that the children enjoyed themselves so very much. A huge thank you to the staff for organising and supporting this wonderful event – but the greatest thanks goes to our family community -without your attendance and support, the event could never have happened!

Photos to follow, but if anyone has an exciting photos they wish to share on the school website please email them to Mrs Roach at school.

Many thanks

You are all invited to our parish Advent service at St Joseph’s Church on Wednesday 5th December, 6pm. It will be the perfect introduction to the preparations we all make at Christmas and a reminder of why we prepare – the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ.

Remember to come in your own clothes tomorrow and to bring some chocolates or sweets for our tombola next Friday at our first ever Christmas fair!

We are very excited about next Friday – don’t forget the fun starts at 2.15pm – see you there.

On Thursday morning, a crew from Preston’s White Watch visited Year 1. It was FREEZING but we kept warm by climbing into the Fire engine, learning how to hold the hose (it was too cold to squirt water) and looking through the thermal imaging camera. They answered ALL our questions about being a Fire Officer and fire safety. Jeff even helped us to understand more about our topic – The Great Fire of London. Now, some of us want to be

Fire Officers when we grow up!

This week saw Y1 team up with Reception for a trip to the fabulous Avenham Park, for a day of exploration and adventure. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed stomping and sliding in the mud, rolling down leafy slopes, collecting natural, fallen objects and playing in the adventure playground! The children said it was amazing!
