A special highlight of the day was a visit from Santa, who delighted the children with his surprise appearance. Every child received a lovely book gift, helping to spread the joy of reading as well as the magic of Christmas.

The parties were a fantastic way to celebrate the end of a busy term and create special memories together. We hope all of our children and families have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.

Well done everyone ⭐ 

Thank you to all the parents who came to watch 🙏🏽

We are so proud of you star all  ⭐ 

At each stop, children read questions linked to well-known and much-loved texts. By answering correctly, they uncovered the next clue and continued their journey through the school. The activity was designed to promote a love of reading while developing comprehension, communication, and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way.

The treasure hunt concluded with a special surprise. Following the final clue, the children discovered our brand-new Hive – a calm and welcoming sensory space designed to pupil wellbeing.

To celebrate their success, the children enjoyed sharing a story together in the new environment, exploring the sensory features and experiencing the Hive as a place where imagination and reading can flourish.

The Reading Treasure Hunt was a wonderful way to celebrate books and storytelling, and the children thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of following clues, revisiting familiar texts, and discovering our exciting new reading space.

The challenge saw pupils working together to solve a series of reading activities, including retrieval, vocabulary and inference tasks. Each completed activity revealed important clues and codes that helped them progress through the challenge.

The children followed a trail of puzzles around the school as they searched for the missing library key, which had been mysteriously stolen! Using their teamwork, problem-solving abilities and reading comprehension skills, they successfully cracked the codes and uncovered the clues needed to solve the mystery.

The Reading Escape Room was a fantastic way to promote a love of reading while developing key comprehension skills. The children showed great determination, enthusiasm and collaboration throughout the challenge, making it a memorable and enjoyable learning experience for all involved.

The highlight was winning  'Best Costume' out of all those schools 🕺🏾💃🏾

Well done everyone! We are so so proud of you 👏

Thank you Alfie, what a wonderful morning!

It was a fantastic day 🌙 

Children in the Mini EEBs group were asked to create designs for the organisation’s annual Eid card.

While in previous years the chosen designs have come from much older children, Qasim’s artwork stood out and was selected as One Voice Blackburn's official Eid card design for 2026.

We are so proud of you ☺️

The atmosphere throughout the event was truly beautiful, with children, staff, and families coming together to celebrate the joy of music and singing. One of the highlights of the evening was a special performance from the teachers, who sang to the children, creating a memorable and heartwarming moment for everyone involved.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils, who sang with enthusiasm, confidence, and excellent behaviour. It was a fantastic experience and a wonderful celebration of music, community, and friendship.

World Book Day was a truly magical celebration of stories, imagination, and creativity across the whole school! The excitement was clear to see as children arrived eager to share their love of reading.

The children made exciting dioramas at home, inspired by the books they were reading in class. From a range of the Wil Tribe Hero books, their diorama creations were bursting with detail and creativity.

Each class was also given a special challenge to design and decorate their classroom door, inspired by the habitat of their targeted books. The results were incredible—our corridors were transformed into a journey through a variety of habitats, showcasing the children’s teamwork and artistic flair.

It was a fantastic day that celebrated not only books, but the joy of reading and the wonderful creativity of our pupils!

Huge thank you to our shed monitors, playground detectives and our Active Leaders 👌🏽

Huge thank you to our 2 leaders who were fantastic helping our younger pupils and encouraging him all the way ☺️

Mrs Ramsden brought along a collection of toys from the past, giving the children a wonderful opportunity to see and handle toys that children would have played with many years ago. The children had great fun exploring and playing with the different toys while learning about how they were used.

During the session, the children discussed the similarities and differences between old and modern toys. They noticed that many older toys were made from materials such as wood and metal and did not use batteries or technology, unlike many toys today.

The visit was an engaging and hands-on learning experience that helped bring their History topic to life. A big thank you to Mrs Ramsden for sharing her knowledge and helping the children learn more about toys from the past.

Today, the whole school came together to enjoy our annual Christmas Lunch Day. The hall was filled with festive cheer as children and staff shared a delicious Christmas meal and celebrated the season together.

A huge thank you to our wonderful dinner staff for all their hard work in preparing and serving such a fantastic lunch. Their dedication helped make the day extra special for everyone.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the festive atmosphere, and it was a lovely opportunity for our school community to celebrate together. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing PTA for all their hard work, support, and dedication in organising the event. Their efforts helped create a truly special afternoon for our school community.

As well as having lots of fun, we were delighted to raise money that will help provide further enriching experiences and opportunities for our children throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the fayre – your generosity is greatly appreciated.
