Headteacher Awards: Leon Leonard, Lucas Chadwick and McKenzie Baker ‘Creepy Crawly Chaos’ We have really enjoyed our ‘Creepy Crawly Chaos’ theme in Ladybirds and Caterpillar class last half term and this term we couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the theme! We have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly and nutured our own caterpilliars. This week our butterflies emerged from their chrysilades in front of our very eyes. It was amazing to watch. We looked after our butterflies until they were strong enough to release in our garden. We wish them luck on their next journey!! Mr Fendle (CofG) and Mr Woods - Fundraising for the NSPCC – Driving from Skelmersdale to Benidorm On Tuesday 12th June we will be supporting Mr Fendle and Mr Woods raising funds for the NSPCC. The whole school are invited to wear something green (non-uniform) for the day and we are asking for a suggested £1 donation for the NSPCC. They will then drive to Benidorm over the next 4 days in an old car decorated like the Danger Mouse Car.
