Another academic year has come to a close. As staff we have thoroughly enjoyed it as have all the children. We hope you as parents have too. Please take a look at all the great activities your children participated in over the last academic year at the school.

Year 5 and 6 Inter Class Rounder's Competition

It was great to see all the children in the upper unit take part in this competition which was keenly fought and eventually won by Mr Brotherhood's y6 class. A great morning indeed!

 

U.Dance at the Theatre by the Lake, Keswick

On Friday 27th March the Year 5 and 6 children took part in the U.Dance National Festival along with other schools from across Cumbria. They choreographed a dance based on our Earth and Space topic and perfected it over the spring term. With a little help from Alison, our U.Dance artist, they produced a creative, dynamic performance which impressed all who saw it, including the large audience on Friday night.

 

We would like to thank the children for all of their hard work, their immaculate behaviour on the day and their dedication in U.Dance practises and performances. Also, a massive thanks to the PTA who kindly donated funds to allow us to have a fabulous day in Keswick, and the King Kong Climbing Centre for welcoming us between performances. Finally, we would like to thank the parents for their ongoing support which was greatly appreciated by all.
