Reception’s Trip to Fairhaven Lake

What a fantastic day we had on Thursday when we went on a adventure to Fairhaven Lake to enjoy our final ranger session Fraser and Ed. We began with some parachute games which helped us to learn and remember some key vocabulary such as river, sea, estuary and then we walked around the lake to see which different habitats we could find. We also enjoyed using beach materials to create our own beach art of different sea creatures. Reception had a wonderful day and were fabulous role models for Our Lady Star of the Sea, with many passers by commenting on what a polite and sensible class they are. We couldn’t agree more and are very proud of them for representing our school so well.

A special thank you to Fraser and Ed at Fylde Council for 5 weeks of ranger school and lots of new experiences! Reception have enjoyed every second!

On Friday we had a wonderful day coming together as a school family to raise money for a cause close to all of our hearts. Thank you to Year 5 for organising a brilliant day full or sports and cakes! A very big thank you to families for all of your support and generosity.
