• Y6 Tuesday Shoppers Service at St John’s Church

  Tue 23 Sep 2025 Mr Hackett

  On Tuesday 23rd September Y6 were invited to the 20th Anniversary of the Tuesday ‘Shoppers’ Service at St John’s church to showcase some of the Sign Language they have been learning with Graham Powell.  Graham is coming in to Lordsgate and working with the Y6 class on their Level 1 British Sign Language Award every Tuesday.  He also signs at the Tuesday service which we are developing links with the plan for the children to regularly support this event.  The Tuesday service was originally set up in 2005 to deliver a new informal style of service capturing the new community that the opening of the Tesco Superstore would bring to Burscough.  The service has been going from strength to strength from then and is now attended by many in our community who prefer ‘a shorter and more informal style of worship’.  The children’s signing of ‘Thankful’ was well received by the congregation and the children enjoyed joining in with the service.

   

   

  

• Football Tournament—Tuesday 23rd September—District Champions!

  Tue 23 Sep 2025 Mr Hackett

  Last Tuesday, 10 of our year 5s and 6s went to represent our school at the Ormskirk/Tarleton football tournament - the first event of the year!  As always, expectation and excitement was high and our boys quickly got into their stride, winning their first three games.  We then played out a very frustrating 0-0 draw, with the Lordsgate team missing a glut of chances to win the game.  It became tense in the final few games as it became clear that the chance for glory was in the offing.  We won our next 2 games, including a comeback win against Tarleton, to set up a final showdown against Ormskirk CE school.  A tense affair was settled with the final kick of the game as Cody raced through to score - a goal that meant we had been unbeaten all evening and were rightly named CHAMPIONS!!! Very well done to all of the boys who contributed so well to this success: Edward P, Ben, Cody, Stevie, Stanley, Jamie, Joe, Tommy, Lucas & James.

   

   

  

• Y6 PGL 2025 Day 2

  Tue 01 Jul 2025 Mr Hackett

  Children have had an action packed day today at PGL.  After a good night's sleep (yes really!) and a hearty breakfast the children did what most described as their favourite activity of the day - the Giant Swing.  We then used all our senses to navigate the challenging sensory trail, after we had played lots of games to get used to not using our eyes!  After lunch we did Archery where Kyle hit the bullseye on his first shot!! This was followed by abseiling from the woodland tower.  Downtime consisted of various table tennis tournaments (picture shows Nathan beating Mr Tilley in the semi-final), visiting the shop and several games of splat! This evening we have completed the passport around the world challenge - tracking down various flags of the world and answering questions.  Phew! What a day!

  

• Y6 PGL July 2025

  Mon 30 Jun 2025 Mr Hackett

  We arrived in glorious weather and within two minutes of arriving Daniel our 'groupie' had us playing rock, paper , scissors 'cheerleader' and splat.  We then had a nice picnic lunch on the grass before being shown to our rooms.  The first activity of the afternoon was raft building - all the children were fearless in the games on the water and the 'getting wet' games that followed.  After a shower and a lovely tea where everyone ate well we were ready for our evening activity.  A new one to us - Cleudo - had children following maps of the centre to speak with various animal characters to solve the mystery at hand.  I think the children will sleep tonight!!

  

• Y4 PGL 2025

  Tue 06 May 2025 Mr Hackett

  On Tuesday 6th May Y4 visited PGL at Winmarleigh Hall. Within 20 minutes of arriving we were out and about around the site being Eco Explorers looking for the birds, beasts and insects of Winmarleigh.  After a great lunch where everyone ate really well, we had one of the children's favourite activities so far  - The climbing wall with many children making it to the top of the tower!!  It was then time to use our brains not our brawn with a range of problem solving activities within the park.  After tea we took part in the Balloon Splash Challenge where children competed in wacky events like the shoe stacking challenge to earn gold to pay for protective items for their water balloon, which were then thrown off the top of the tower to put them to the test!  Just before bedtime on day one the children were treated to a hot chocolate - What a day!!

  

• Y6 PGL July 2024 Day 2

  Tue 02 Jul 2024 Mr Hackett

  Day 2 of PGL - an action packed day!  Children have completed four activities in the day.  Abseiling and  the climbing wall were an opportunity for children to overcome a fear of heights and we were impressed with children challenging themselves to reach the top of the tower.  Aeroball is a fast competitive game of scoring 'baskets' whilst trampolining! This was some of our children's favourite activity and certainly tired them out! A new activity for us today was 'archery tag'.  After practicing how to use the bow and arrows children lined up against each other to be 'living' targets and then some children were brave enough to run the gauntlet whilst being shot at by arrows!  Staff were pleased how children sensibly went to bed last night and are hoping for the same tonight.  All are well fed, well exercised and have had a great day.

  

• Y6 PGL July 2024

  Mon 01 Jul 2024 Mr Hackett

  Y6 arrived at PGL Boreatton Hall in Shropshire at 11am and after a quick tour and a picnic lunch we were straight into activities led by our 'Groupie'. Following a few team games we set off for the lake for a raft building activity.  Children built their own rafts and set sail on the lake for fun and frolics!  The session ended with children taking a dip and a thorough soaking!  All the children ate well at tea time and were ready for our evening challenge activity - Frisbie Golf!

  Just before a heavy downpour children were back safely in their rooms and happily bedding down for the evening.  A good day had by all.

• Antibullying week—13th—17th November 2023

  Fri 17 Nov 2023 Mr Hackett

  The theme of this year’s Antibullying week was ‘Make a noise about bullying’ where we reminded children to talk to an adult if they are worried about bullying and to show kindness through their actions. The children wore  ‘odd socks’ to help understand the message that we are all special and unique and should not be teased for being different.  As well as special assemblies each class contributed to the theme in their own way.

   

  Rec– Made a recipe for friendship and posters to show how they looked after each another

  Y1— Read stories that supported the theme and made ‘Good friend hand wreaths’

  Y2— Designed posters on how to ‘make a noise about bullying’

  Y3—Looked at cyberbullying and what a positive and negative response to on-line bullying would be

  Y4—Worked together to write antibullying poetry

  Y5—Wrote antibullying poems and designed posters around the ‘make some noise’ theme

   

  Y6 worked on one of their passport activities which was to design an event for the school.  They planned and delivered a fabulous day of antibullying workshops for other classes to take part in.  Activities included friendship chains, bullying Bingo, board games, making ‘make a noise’ shakers, Odd Socks puzzles and ‘Small Girl Big World’ scenario plays.  Everyone enjoyed the Y6 workshops and we all enjoyed sharing work completed in Antibullying week in Monday’s worship.
