Autumn Days

This week we sang Autumn days for the first time. We have been back at school for four weeks now and the first hint of Autumn has arrived. The leaves are falling, early dew and hints of frost. Before long the fallen leaves will block the road drains and with the next heavy rain staff will find it difficult to get to school due to the flooding. We had 12 children join our reception class and another three into other year groups bring us to the largest number on roll for some time. This week sees the start of a very exciting project in school. We are working with four other local schools to give our most able children the chance to work with others from different schools. On Wednesday we have a launch day at Rydal Hall to start the project off. The team of children will create a website that will feature reviews of Lakeland tourist attractions written by children for children. Last week we also saw a milestone as the 800th entry was posted to our pupil blog - Making the News. We have more posts than any other school in the country.
