• Mental Health week 2023

  Mon 06 Feb 2023 Mrs Hill

  The National Children’s Mental Health week was themed around the concept of ‘Let’s Connect’. Connecting with others is not only good for those receiving it but good for childrens’ own mental health and wellbeing. It has also been a good extension of our worship theme this year about Friendship and links to our curriculum vision thread of showing ‘Gods Love for Others’. On Friday 10th February classes shared their work with the rest of the school. Here is a flavour of what had been achieved.

  Reception—Looked at how they connected with others in the classroom through things like sharing, caring, being kind and talking with each other. They extended this to look at connecting with ‘People who help us’ and during the term they have had visits from Pat the Lollipop Lady, a postman, a dentist, the police etc.

  Y1—Created art work on a jigsaw puzzle showing how they connect with others. They also did some great team building exercises in their outdoor area.

  Y2—Created paper chains with connections of people important to them and people they felt connected to.

  Y3— Y4 Continued with their intergenerational project linking with the residents of Lily Wharf. They gave the residents posters they had created with facts that they had learnt from their last visit. They also made a heart with all their names on and the names of the residents. They connected by completing valentines activities together and singing residents favourite songs!

  Y5—Connected with other classes in the school by producing Positivity Posters, which had wellbeing and positive affirmation messages on to display on classroom doors.

  Y6—Wrote letters to connect with the children of Uganda and they also looked at the difficult area of comparing when it is a good time to connect with people and when there might be times it might not be wise to connect—such as the thorny issue of internet safety . . . Which leads us onto another aspect of the week … During the week it was also Internet Safety day on Tuesday 7th and this was a good opportunity to look at connecting with others SAFELY on-line. Mr Jaeger ran an assembly and classes completed follow up activities on this important subject.

  In December the school choir were very busy, our KS2 choir sang at an Air Ambulance charity event at The Wharf, Burscough and then entertained the customers at Tesco. The feedback from members of the public and staff was incredible. Well done choir members.

  During Antibullying week Y6 put together an antibullying workshop.  Groups created eight different activities including; fortune tellers, bullying bingo, bullying scenario dramas and ‘snakes and ladders’ game.  Each class visited the workshops in the school hall and rotated around the activities.  A big thank you to Y6 who put a lot of preparation, effort and creativity into the event. 

  

• Remembrance Day 2022

  Mon 14 Nov 2022 Mrs Hill

  Each year we like to commemorate our local links with the Ringtail Airfield by attending the Ringtail Memorial Service held on the 11th November each year.  This year James and Kacie represented the school by laying a wreath at the memorial and taking part in the service.  This year we were also invited by the local council to the Burscough and District War memorial service of Remembrance held on Sunday 13th November.  This was the first time we had been invited to attend and it was lovely to be part of this community event alongside the other local youth organisation such as Guides, Brownies, Rainbows, Scouts etc which many of our children attend.  A special mention to Rhys and Millie in Y6 who represented the school by reading out names from the “Roll of Honour”: the fallen whose names are inscribed on the memorial.  We were very proud of their contribution to the service speaking clearly and with confidence.

   

  

• Y5 Passport One Night PGL residential

  Mon 26 Sep 2022 Mr Hackett

  On Monday 26th September Y5 set off for a night's stay over at PGL Winmarleigh.  On day one children took part in three activities; the Giant Swing, the Challenge Course and Archery.  The children have shown excellent Lordsgate behaviour and have all taken part in the challenges.  The children enjoyed the PGL cafeteria food with lots of children's favourite choices such as pizza, sausages,  breaded chicken fillet, pasta and fries.  In the evening we were treated to a campfire with lots of action songs and hot chocolate. We are looking forward to a nice breakfast tomorrow before completing our climbing and sensory trail challenges.
