National Festival of Making

The National Festival of Making weekend is returning to Blackburn on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July 2024, 11.00am – 5.00pm.  The National Festival of Making is a FREE FAMILY festival for all to enjoy. It takes place in over 20 venues and public spaces in Blackburn.

 

Visiting Christ Church

The children will be visiting Christ Church (on Mosley Street) on Tuesday 9th July for our end of yearcelebration services. This is a chance for the children to reflect on all their learning over the year. Children in Years 3-5 will attend in the morning (the Eagles’ class will be preparing the Y6 Leavers’ Service which is taking place the following week; Year 6 Falcons will be supporting their Year 5 classmates with their class presentation at church). Children in Reception – Year 2 will attend in the afternoon.

 

School Uniform

As we approach the end of the school year, we would be very grateful to receive any used school uniform that your child might have grown out of but still has plenty of life left in it. Please wash it before sending it in to school.

 

We have a stock of pre-owned school jumpers cardigans, trousers, skirts, polo shirts and PE kits in school – please let the office know if you would like any items for September.

 

Class Assemblies

A big thank you to our Woodpeckers’ class for their fantastic assembly last Wednesday! It was great to be able to welcome so many parents and carers too – it means so much to the children to see you there supporting them.

 

Our next class assembly will be taking place on Wednesday 10th July and will be led by our Robins’ class.

 

Online Safety

This month’s online safety newsletter is now available on the school website (Parents/Online Safety). It’s a great way of keeping up with what the children might be encountering online.

 

Best wishes
