This week Reception have been taking part in some Easter activities in class: decorating the Easter tree, making Easter gardens, painting Easter pictures and decorating Easter shapes using the collage materials.

Congratulations to our Y4 hockey players who came 2nd in the final at Millom. There were eight other schools taking part and we faced some tough opposition! We are now off to Carlisle in July for the School Games!

The rainbow reading rewards has started again for the new term. These children have read at least five times in one week or both weeks of the holiday from school. What a great start! I wonder who will be the winners this half term?

Year 5 enjoyed learning how to become play leaders. Now they are out and about at playtimes, helping everyone to make the most of play times and have fun.

Y6 were joined today by children from St Mary’s Kells and St Joseph’s at Frizington to create a collage of flowers to mark The Year of the Eucharist. We enjoyed making new friends and ended the day with some fun in the hall with the parachutes.
