Yr 3 Hesketh Park Plant Hunt

On Friday morning under the blistering sun, Year 3 set off for Hesketh Park as part of their science work on plants.
We were given a guided tour around the Park by Dave Ritchie. We learnt about how they prepared the ground before
planting and that many of the plants had been donated by the public. Inside the poly tunnel, we were shown how quickly
hanging baskets could be beautifully arranged. We were shown a wren's tiny nest under the archway into the rose garden
and were tested on our knowledge of herbs. Later we completed a tree and plant survey and now have some budding
gardeners in the Year Group! We were lucky to see a few squirrels scurrying up the trees. A fantastic time was had by all!

Handwriting Competition
PTA Fashion Show

As the improvement of handwriting across the
school has been a big focus of our school
improvement this year and we have been
extremely delighted at the progress the majority
of children have made, we are going to hold a
special handwriting competition. On Friday 11th
June all children will be given an opportunity to
produce a piece of handwriting for the
competition. Each class will have 4 prizes: Best
boy's handwriting; Best girl's handwriting; Most Thank you to all models, parents and staff. A
Improved boy's handwriting and Most Improved fantastic time was had by all and we raised £402 for
girl's handwriting. So get practising over the PTA funds. Photographs can be viewed on the school
holiday! website.
School Photographs

The class and team photographs will be taking place during the week beginning Monday 14th June. We are offering
parents the opportunity of having a different style of photograph instead of the formal class photograph. For a number
of years our photographs have been taken solely by Tempest but this year we have also invited in Ward Hendry to take
some so that parents can decide which they prefer. We have arranged it during the same week so both samples should
arrive back at a similar time so parents will be able to make their choice.
