On Wednesday the children took part in our Year 5 Sport’s day. It wasn’t the way any one of us would have liked to spend it, but nevertheless the children were amazing and made the most of it and were fantastic. It was lovely to see how the children worked together as a team and were so supportive of each other. In the end the results were amazingly close…
1st Newton 92🌟
2nd Clifton 86
3rd & 4th Layton & Marton 82
Well done to all the children but a big well done to Newton who won Year 5’s Sport’s day. Now we wait to see the overall results from KS1 and KS2 to see who the overall winners of Sport’s Day were. Goodluck everyone!

Notices
The children have come home today with a letter about a class visit to Ascent trampoline park. Thank you to our wonderful PTA who have very kindly contributed £200 towards the trip.
School finishes at 1.05pm on Fridays and at 3.10pm every other day
Please remember to bring sun hats and wear sun cream on sunny days as we do spend time outdoors during the school day. Please also ensure your child has a coat in school just in case it rains - not unheard of in Blackpool - so that we may still go outside for playtimes.
Please ensure the children bring their water bottles filled with fresh water daily.
Within the next couple of weeks, please can each child bring in a ‘bag for life’ (as they will hold more weight) with their name on it, in preparation for sending work home by the end of this term. Thanks to those who have already sent theirs in.
Another great week Year 5, well done! Hope you all have a lovely weekend! Your homework is now on the homework page. This week it is a piece of geography homework which will need to be completed and handed in by Monday ready for our geography lesson.
Mrs McVey, Miss Evans and Mrs Connolly
