Harvest Festival – Food Donations

This week is your final chance to send in items of food for our Harvest Festival appeal. As in previous years, all gifts of food will be donated to Blackburn Foodbank. They are asking for the following items:

Tinned fruit Microwave rice Dried lentils

Instant noodles Tinned soup Tinned vegetables

Pasta sauces Breakfast cereals Pasta

 

Staff from Blackburn Foodbank will be coming to collect the food on Thursday, so the last day to send food in will be Wednesday. Many thanks for your support.

 

Our Harvest Festival is taking place this Wednesday at 8.40am and will be led by our Owls’ class. Everyone is very welcome to come along and join us as we give thanks for all the food we enjoy each day.

 

Swimming

The children have thoroughly enjoyed their swimming lessons in our outdoor portable swimming pool! The pool will be with us for the rest of the week and will be dismantled during the half term holiday next week.

Swimming is an inexpensive but fun way to keep fit and healthy as well as an important life skill which could actually save your child’s life. Now that they have had a taste of swimming, many of the children would like to go swimming on a regular basis
