Ponds Mean Prizes! Thanks to Costain for their fabulous donation of £5000 to make all our wildlife dreams come true. All the children and staff enjoyed the presentation ceremony and our cute home-made creatures enjoyed the event too from their perches on the new sculpture tree! We composed our own special Wildlife Song to go with our entry. We hope you enjoy it!

Hello Ducky! Year 5 had a great time learning about life cycles in nature at Martin Mere. They recreated an ant colony by acting out the different jobs of all the ants (including visits to the queen ant!); they cycled through the seasons in the Viking Village; they got close up and fed the birds, and they went a bit wild themselves in the adventure play area! Thanks to all the staff for helping and to the children for their brilliant behaviour.

Africa Day Everyone had a fantastic time learning about African culture on our recent Africa Day. There were all kinds of fun activities, including art, cookery, mask-making, sports, research into Water-Aid, singing and an exciting drumming workshop. The school kitchen staff even prepared a special African menu for dinner time! It all ended with a celebration in the school hall where everyone shared what they had done during the day. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work and preparation and to the children for their enthusiasm!

A Grand Day Out Our Year 2 children had a great time on their recent trip to Blackpool Tower. They learned about the fish in the aquarium, watched a 3-D film about dinosaurs, saw some amazing circus acts, went wild in Jungle Jim’s, and saw the view from the top of the world famous Blackpool Tower. Some were even brave enough to take the ‘Walk of Faith’ - a glass walk-way with a view right down to the bottom! Thanks to all the staff who helped to run the trip!

A Night at the Oscars
Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils who won the award for Best Film produced by Key Stage 2 in the 2010 TCSC Media Awards. Their film was a moving documentary called Horrors of the Holocaust, which explores a child’s view of this tragic episode in human history. We are very proud of this sensitive piece of work and the children’s superb use of technology in putting it together. Well done!
