Craig McCann - Athlete visit. 'Grasp every opportunity that comes your way!'
It is not everyday that an athlete visits your school, let alone a Paralympic athlete. So, when we were given the opportunity for Craig McCann to visit, of course we said yes! Throughout the morning, all of the children visited the hall to complete a rather tricky, fitness class.
Read more'Forget your troubles and dance!'
Over the past month, we have just danced and danced and danced! Have a look at what has been going on around the school.
Danceathon
It all started with our Dancethon where we danced from 8am through to 3:30pm - literally non stop! Throughout the day, all classes had a dance lesson with Miss Sarah and Miss Amy from Clifton Academy. This year we aimed to learn and tackle the Cha Cha Cha - Miss Hornby’s favourite! Thank you so much to our wonderful teachers - you made learning a challenging dance so much fun. Now that all the money has been collected and accounted for, we have managed to raise a staggering £1671 to replace part of the trim trail. Keep an eye on it over the next year! Thank you to all of our wonderful parents and families who came and danced with us in the morning. There was certainly lots of smiles on everyones faces.
Have a look at the video below to see our whole school come together for a big Cha Cha Cha in the afternoon!
Dance Festival
Every year, a group of committed dancers face a tough judging panel with the hope of being selected for the dance team. This year, 20 children were successful and trained really hard alongside Mrs Harrison and Miss Bassett week in, week out.
We could not have been prouder as the children took to the stage to perform Absolutely Everybody in front of a packed crowd. Children you were brilliant, your sheer enthusiasm was wonderful to see. We really look forward to seeing the team perform next year…I wonder what the theme will be?
Tudor Dancing at Samlesbury Hall
It is always nice to see what other classes are doing with dance around school. Not only have our Year 6 class been learning and creating their own Tudor style dance in school as part of their lessons, they headed off to Samlesbury Hall on a trip and performed in the great hall there. Never has a school done such a thing there and the staff were blown away. Why not watch the dance below…
A whole lot of competitive fun!
This morning, the Year 3 sport club had great fun (and a little bit of maths along the way). The children were tasked with moving in different ways to collect the balls in the middle of the hoop, however, the balls all had different values. The children had to be strategic in their collection to make sure that their team collected the highest value balls! The children worked really well together and support each other constantly.
Year 3 Sports Groups for this year
On a Thursday morning throughout this year, Mr Nay is going to be working with all of the children in Year 3.
Read moreSuccess for our Athletics Team - Bronze Medal Finish!
After jumping, running, throwing and speed bouncing their hearts out for the past half term, our athletics team today competed in the Lytham St Annes Cluster Indoor Athletics Competition. We took a really strong team to the event, a team who had consistently performed and scored highly during training.

Wow, what a job we had selecting the team for this years competition. Across Year 5 & 6, there are so many talented sportsmen and women; we are constantly looking at ways to give more opportunities to everyone who trains. We ranked the entire two groups of children across both classes and then went with the fastest and those who jumped the furthest. There are some specialists of their field!. I am excited to see what this team can produce!
As the standard was so high, we are looking to arrange another athletics competition for this children who trained with Mr Nay from Year 5. This will give all of the children a chance to compete against other another school and gain experience for competitions in Year 6.
Indoor Athletics Competition Information

What an afternoon we have had! Every single child that competed this afternoon, ran, jumped and threw to the best of their ability - we cannot be any prouder! Our Year 5 and 6 team ran well, finishing 1, 2 and 3 in the 600m with the girls finishing 2nd in the vortex throw. The Year 3 and 4 team really came together and….finished WINNERS of the competition, beating AKS by 1 single point.
