Children had an excellent afternoon celebrating our year 6 leavers learning journey at Needwood, it was an afternoon full of memories, humour and fun! Parents enjoyed sharing refreshments and play afterwards and we thank our children and staff for an excellently prepared service.
We had a special visitor in worship this morning - Liz Gardner from Staffordshire Library Service came to speak to the children about the Summer Reading Challenge which the chilren can take part in. Children are encouraged to visit their local library and read 6 books during the holiday to receive stickers, a medal and a certificate whilst contributing to their schools uptake of the challenge in which we can win a trophy. So get reading!
Children had an amazing afternoon at our ‘Race For Life’ with some children running in excess of 5 miles. Lots of parents ran too! We raised £491.50 for a really worthwhile cause.
We launched the library summer reading challenge at both schools across the Federation.
Children had an amazing day as they all came together, at All Saints, from cross the Federation to worship, play and learn together due to the visiting exhibition of the replica Turin Shroud and a variety of interactive items . The morning was spent in a service led by Mrs Smith, supported by Rev. Les, Wendy and Christian club. Children then had a chance in small groups to explore the exhibition; they undertook activities around school such as peace doves, and prayer bead making to send to our joined school in Uganda - Little Angels. It was a beautiful day.
We had fantastic weather for our Sports Morning, the chidlren competed well as individuals and contributed to their teams. The Lancaster Ladybirds were the overall winners this year - so many congratulations to them! We thank the PTA for organising half time refreshments they were well appreciated and we thank parents and grandparents for coming along and supporting the children.
A great evening our success of the evening was the Y6 boys coming 3rd in the relay! A great photo.
