• Hunting for treasure

  Wed 23 Mar 2022

  The children really enjoyed working with a metal detector at after school club last night. They had a great time….an hour wasn’t long enough apparently!!!!

  Firstly Simon showed some of the coins and things he has found.

  Everyone then had a go. They all found “treasure.” Varying from a 1p coin to a watering can head and even a toy car.

  Many thanks to Simon and Ginny, Jill and Karen for their support.

• Down on the farm

  Sat 09 Oct 2021

  Children in Class 2 spent Friday at Raisgill Hall Farm learning about dairy farming as part of the sustainable food topic.  They learned how the cows are milked, where it's stored and where it goes after that.  They also heard of how the farm is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2028.  Thanks so much to Lottie for arranging this and to her family and staff for being so welcoming.

  Proceeds from the May 2021 Sponsored Walk will be split between the North West Air Ambulance and The Friends of the school.  Nearly £1000 has been pledged in sponsorship, which is an amazing amount for such a small school - well done to everyone for making such a huge effort.
