Knife Angel - Blackburn Cathedral
On Thursday 25th November Mrs Axon and some children from Year 5 visited Blackburn Cathedral to see the Knife Angel. The Knife Angel is to remind people that knife murder/crimes are extremely bad and to surrender your knife and and save a life. The children met with other schools and shared ideas.
Here is a short video where you can see what the children got up to.

Red Nose Day 2021
Friday 19th March saw the children celebrate red nose day in school. The children accessorised their uniforms with splashes of red in lots of different ways - socks, headbands, face paint etc. We sold all the red noses and sent £180 to Children In Need for them. We also raised £98.00 in school which is also on its way to the charity. Many thanks for all your support.
Times Table Rock Stars presents Maths Week England 9 - 14th November
Dear Parent/Carer,
As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, this November we are taking part in a competition for Maths Week England. It’s called Rock Out 2020 and it’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.
For every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, your child will earn their class a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours). Winning classes in the school and in the country as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
All game modes (Gig, Garage, Studio, etc.) will count but only from games played between 7.30am and 7.30pm on Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th, Wednesday 11th, Thursday 12th, Friday 13th and Saturday 14th.
In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans. We suggest a limit of half an hour a day outside school hours – some will play more, some will play less.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs Powley
