Climbing and Archery Day

Our Year 3 and Year 4 children enjoyed a great day today. The mobile climbing wall visited us again and the children enjoyed challenging themselves on this and also developed their archery skills. Thank you to all the parents who contributed towards the cost of providing these fantastic experiences to the children and to Mr Woodward for organising the day.

 

Class Assemblies

A big thank you to our Woodpeckers’ class for their fantastic assembly last week. It was great to see so many parents and carers in the hall, supporting their children.

 

Our Robins’ class will be leading assembly on Wednesday 9th July when they will be sharing some of their learning from their first year of ‘big school’. Parents and carers of the children in the Robins’ class are very welcome to join us – it starts at 8.40am.

 

School Trips

We have several class trips taking place before the end of term. Please remember that you need to give your consent for your child to go using the Teachers2Parents app and also make the voluntary contribution. Unfortunately we do not have time to chase parents individually for consent for their child to go and we don’t want any children to miss out on these exciting experiences.

 

National Festival of Making

A reminder that the National Festival of Making weekend is returning to Blackburn on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July 2025, 11.00am – 5.00pm.  The National Festival of Making is a FREE FAMILY festival for all to enjoy.
