Reception and Year 2 Trip to Blackpool Zoo
Reception and Year 2 will visit Blackpool Zoo. The children will leave school at 9.15 and will arrive back in time for the end of the school day. A packed lunch will be provided. Children will be asked to wear their school polo shirts and jumpers/cardigans with any bottoms. The visit links in with Reception topics from Spring 1- under the sea, their current topic- amazing animals and their next topic which is all about Explorers. It also links with year 2’s science learning so it will be wonderful to allow them to experience a visit based on the learning they have acquired. We can’t wait to take the children and create some wonderful memories together!

Aladdin on Ice
Our whole school family will be going to watch Aladdin on Ice at Planet Ice, Blackburn's Ice Arena on Wednesday 11th December 2024 at 1pm as a Christmas treat. Planet Ice presents a fun-filled version of "Aladdin On Ice," adapted by the Show & Skate class of amateur skaters and supported by their Professional on Tour cast. This ultimate classic will take the children on a magical journey with Aladdin, Jasmine, and other beloved characters through a story of adventure, magic and discovering true worth. This show features amateur local skaters who have learnt their craft through Planet Ice's Learn To Skate programme, giving the skaters a real moment to remember under the spotlight.
Not Getting Inn Pantivity
I’m Sure we can squeeze ‘em in somewhere… A Roman census’ worth of guests, an unexpected hotel inn-spector and now a young couple with a baby on the way. It’s all a bit of a squeeze, and there’s certainly no room at the inn! The Nativity story meets Fawlty Towers in this farcical panto - join 4Front Theatre for a show bursting at the seams with slapstick fun, laughter, brilliant songs and a heartfelt message of hope and joy from the heart of the nativity.
