KS2 Summer Trip On Monday KS2 made their way to Southport for the Summer Trip! We were very excited! When we got there, Owls and Penguins went to the beach to play some games and collect shells while Year 5 and 6 went to mini-golf. It was very windy! Next, we went to Frankie & Benny's. We had a tasty main and a dessert whilst listening to some cool music. After that we (Owls) went over to the mini golf with Penguins class and had so much fun!! Year 5 and 6 went onto the beach and played some sports games. We were exhausted at the end of the day but had a fantastic school trip!! Written by Owls.

Orienteering Last Thursday 6 children travelled to Tarleton High School to take part in an Orienteering competition. The competition was organised by West Lancashire School Sports Partnership with 10 schools from across West Lancashire taking part. The children worked in pairs and had 30 minutes to find as many symbols as they could. All the children did really well and came 2nd overall. Team: Saul, Adam, Joel, Molly, Louise and Lily-Grace Quad Kids On Tuesday 23rd June 17 children from Yr 3 & 4 took part in the West Lancashire School Sports Partnership Quad Kids event. Each child had to sprint 50m, run 400m, perform a standing long jump and throw a howler. The children were split into 2 teams with Team 1 coming 3rd out of 9 and Team 2 coming 5th. All the children gave 100% effort, well done! Team 1: Lewis, Harvey, Lloyd, Aaron, Eva, Darcy, Chantelle, Macy and Aimee Louise. Team 2: Joe, Thomas, Leon, Jamie, Summer, Aimmerose, Teona and Lily Grace.
