Sports Day Parent Races
A huge thank you to all of the parents and carers who joined in with our races today! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces taking part and creating such a fun atmosphere for the children to enjoy. The cheering, laughing and friendly competition made for some brilliant memories.

Year 1 to Year 2 Transition Day
Year 1 had a fantastic day transitioning into Year 2. Mrs Hegarty and I were so impressed by their beautiful manners, positive attitudes and willingness to tackle every task with enthusiasm. We had lots of fun playing Phase 5 Phonics Bingo, writing silly sentences using Phase 5 sounds, enjoying a parachute game to help us get to know them all, creating self-portraits, and reading ‘The Dot’ by Peter Reynolds before completing a related activity inspired by the story. We are so looking forward to welcoming them all to Year 2 in September!

Year 2 Transition to Year 3
What a busy move up day it’s been in Year 3! The children were all bundles of nerves and excitement this morning, but they soon settled. We started the day with a story about two squabbling squirrels, and talked about the importance of getting along. We then played a game of human bingo, for which we had to ask each other questions and write names on the bingo card. We also created a design on a jigsaw piece ready to put together for our class display. Towards the end of the day, we played a few parachute games and then said our goodbyes. We hope the children enjoyed their taster day in the juniors and are now looking forward to September.

Whole School Worship with Bishop Philip
We were thrilled to welcome Bishop Philip into our wonderful school this week. When he arrived, the Year 6 pupils treated him to a VIP performance of one of their favourite songs from their end of year production. Bishop Philip then led a special worship in which the children helped him with a lively retelling of the story of Daniel in the Lions’ Den. The children loved joining in with the actions and helping Daniel with his dilemma of whether to go against the king and continue praying to God, or to worship only the king. The children were then tasked with identifying the message in the story and they gave some thought-provoking answers about trusting in God even when it’s difficult and knowing God will look after you. Mrs Ham later took Bishop Philip on a tour of the school where he invited each class to ask questions about his role in the Diocese of Blackburn.
