Aye Aye Capt'n As part of their Pirate topic this half term, Caterpillars had an exciting surprise when they met a 'real' pirate! Pirate Red Beard sailed in from the high seas to meet the children and even made them walk the plank! Caterpillars got the chance to ask the pirate lots of questions they had been thinking about such as why pirates wear eyepatches. Arrrr! ( P.S Thank you Mr Reghai!)

ATTENDANCE Bishop Martin Safety Stars Year 6 have recently formed a 'Safety Stars' group. Each month we will be giving information to all classes about the ways in which children can keep themselves and others safe. Our theme this month is 'Winter Wonderland' so please watch out for our 'Winder Wonderland' safety tips in next week's newsletter. Lancashire County Council has also launched a Safer Schools website with information and activities to help keep children safe. You can access this information at www.saferschools.lancsngfl.ac.uk Santa Dash Fundraiser To raise funds for the new Free Breakfast Club Mrs Fendle (Admin) and Mr Fendle (CofG) will be taking part in this year’s Liverpool Santa Dash on 1st December.
