Builders


The builders are on site now and will be here for the next two months. They are re-roofing one of the school buildings and building a new assisted change facility. This will provide us with a disabled toilet, changing area and shower. All these will improve our school and the experience we give to our pupils.

Still Raining

Two weeks since the summer fair and it's still raining. We've lost sports day and seen some wet weather every day since. This hasn't dampened our enthusiasm however and lots of exciting events have taken place. This week is Arts week and the children are all enjoying arts based activities on the theme of Carnival of the Animals. Two classes have been down to Cheshire to visit Little Morton Hall , a beautiful Tudor house, as part of their work on the Tudors. We've had three video conferences lately, two with Helmshore Museum on the Tudors and one with a South African comic book artist who was shoing work on the life of Nelson Mandela. Our children have been competing all over the county and bring back trophies for Athletics. Many of the children have been taking part in an Arts project with the Brewery called the Kendal Motto Project. We are sfeeling sorry for our Y6 children as having had to go through the process of SAT's the marking company have messed up and the results will now be at least a week late. For those counting there are 8 more get-ups until the end of term. The children and adults are all tired and are looking forward to a well earned rest.We're keeping our fingers crossed for an uptyurn in the weather.
