Thank you so much to Mark from Blackburn Rugby Club who came into school to work with all of our children and to give them a taster session. The children embraced it perfectly and loved learning some different Rugby skills. 
Well done everyone 🏉  

Our KS2 children recently took part in an exciting Reading Escape Room adventure, putting their reading skills to the test in a fun and engaging way.

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.

Wow! We are so unbelievably proud of these children. We were chosen to represent Blackburn with Darwen in the Lancashire dance finals at Winter Gardens in Blackpool.  25 schools, over 500 children taking part and performing in front of over 2000 people. What an experience! 
We had a walk to the beach, chippy tea and just such a fun day! 
 

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

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

To celebrate National Earth Day, every class in school took part in a special project focusing on a different part of our amazing planet. Throughout the day, the children explored a range of topics including oceans, rainforests, wildlife, plants, and ways to care for the environment.

The children worked creatively and enthusiastically, producing a variety of projects, artwork, displays, and presentations to showcase their learning. These activities helped to develop their understanding of the importance of protecting our world and appreciating the natural beauty of the Earth.

It was wonderful to see the children's passion, creativity, and commitment to caring for the environment. National Earth Day provided a fantastic opportunity for our school community to come together and celebrate the planet we all share.

Year 2 helped the whole school reflect on the Easter story through a thoughtful and sensitive performance. As staff read the story, the children acted out the key events, helping everyone to understand the significance of Easter for Christians.

The whole school gathered together in a circle, creating a calm and respectful atmosphere for worship and reflection. We also sang hymns together, which added to the sense of reverence and celebration.

This special gathering helped the children deepen their understanding of the Easter story and the importance of Jesus' resurrection. It was a meaningful opportunity for our school community to show respect for this important Christian belief and to reflect on the messages of hope, love, and new life that Easter brings.

Well done to Year 2 for their excellent performance and mature, respectful approach throughout the event.
