School

Dear Friends,

Summer is nearly upon us, the nights are much lighter and it seems as though the days are longer. All the signs that summer is approaching. Hopefully a summer of beautiful weather as we must be due one after the last couple of years.

The front of school looks gorgeous at the moment; Mrs Davidson, Mr & Mrs Collier and Mrs Davies worked tirelessly to rejuvenate the flower beds and the planting areas. They also made a raised flower bed outside the reception classroom so the children can hone their planting and growing skills.

Our children have been really busy with their exciting learning experiences this term. Year 1 / 2, as part of their dinosaurs theme asked Mr Tarleton if they could see a real dinosaur (No Vicar Stephen jokes here please.) So, last Thursday 5th May they met at Wigan Train Station and headed off to The National History Museum in London and had a truly magical day.

Year 2, as part of their seaside holidays topic, have asked Mrs Lawrence could they go on holiday as a class. They have booked an overnight stay in Llandudno. During the Spring Fair you may have sampled the delights of year 2’s French Café – all the profit from the café will go to the cost of this trip. I will let you know how they get on.

The other day I heard this joke and thought of Vicar Stephen so I thought I would share it with you:

Three children at school were discussing their parents and how clever they were.

”My dad is so clever. He writes a few words on a piece of paper - it’s called a poem - and he gets paid £50 for it!“

”Well my mum writes a few words on a piece of paper - it’s called a song - and she gets paid £100 for it!“

The third child says:

”That’s nothing, my dad writes a few words on a piece of paper – it’s called a sermon - and it takes 8 people to collect all the money!“

I can hear the groans already.

Best Wishes
