Christmas Maths Decorations
In class this week, Herons had been sent a challenge from Mrs McGrath to create a Christmas decoration using natural objects. They had to plan and design their decoration using their measuring skills. The children have had a fantastic week using a ruler to measure the different sized twigs to make a class decoration. What was your favourite part about making the class Christmas tree? Can you remember any of the measurements?
Buddy the Elf has arrived today!
The children were extremely excited when they came to class this morning and found a package had been delivered, marked ’first class from the North Pole’. Inside was an Elf and a letter. We had the challenge of creating a name for our Elf, who we are sure is going to create lots of Christmas Chaos.

Lancashire Dance Festival 2017
On Thursday16th November 2017, 25 children across school took part in the Lancashire Dance Festival at the Guild Hall in Preston. The theme of the festival was Made in the UK. Our dance was a celebration of British Artists. We celebrated The Beatles, Queen, Elton John, Spice Girls and One Direction. The children were a credit to school and the performance on stage was outstanding. Well done to all of you. Ms Watmough and I are extremely proud and we cannot wait to perform at The Wyre and Fylde Dance Festival at The Winter Gradens next week. What part of the dance were you in? What part of the dance did you enjoy the most? What did your parents/carers think of our dance?
