• Bethany Project

  Wed 09 Nov 2016

  Today we have been very lucky to have listened to and learnt about the Bethany Choir. The Bethany Children's choir have travelled from Tanzania, Africa to educate and inform people about the living conditions, cultural differences, poverty and lack of opportunity that children face in their own country. Tanzania is one of the world's poorest countries. The Bethany Choir travel around to bring an awareness of the work of Bethany which hopes to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness through Education and by adopting a positive Christian perspective on life. They sang and told heartwarming stories and the children were definitely moved by their performance.

• Y3 visit Deerplay Rest Home

  Tue 11 Oct 2016
  On Tuesday 11th October, our wonderful Year 3 children walked up to Weir to visit some of the residents at the Deerplay Rest Home. The children had practiced four fantastic songs to sing to the residents and also read some poems beautifully. They sang All Things Bright and Beautiful, Autumn Days, Cauliflowers Fluffy and, the children's personal favourite, Roller Ghoster! It was wonderful to see the children smiling and singing with such enthusiasm, the residents clearly loved seeing the children and even joined in with our two more traditional songs. Our poem readers Emily, Liv, Jasey and Tom did a fantastic job despite being nervous and the staff accompanying the children could not have been more proud of them for a fantastic morning sharing our music with the wider community! Well done Year 3!
  
  The children received a lovely thank you letter from Mary, one of the residents at Deerplay, it said:
  
  On behalf of the residents of Deerplay Rest Home I want to thank you for entertaining us on Tuesday morning. It was wonderful to hear you singing with such joy and enthusiasm. A special mention to the children who read their poems beautifully. I know it can be a daunting task so well done. Also, well done teachers for training them to such a high standard. I was a choir member at St Nicholas church for 42 years so I know how much effort is required. We look forward to hearing you again soon. It brightened up our day.
  
  Once more a big THANKYOU. Best wishes to you all.

• The Lazy Mondays

  Mon 12 Sep 2016
  On Monday 12th September the whole school was lucky enough to enjoy a visit from the Lancashire Music Service band 'The Lazy Mondays'. The children gathered into the hall with much excitement at the prospect of hearing live music being played in school! The band were amazing, interacting with the children and getting them involved throughout their performance which took us on a journey through the decades from the 1960's all the way up to present day, covering a range of popular songs and music styles including Reggae, Rock and Pop! All the children from the youngest in Reception to the oldest in Year 6 seemed to thoroughly enjoy the performance. Here is what some of the Reception children had to say;
  
  "I liked that it was noisy!" - Blair 
  
  "My favourite was the guitar." - Jackson 
  
  "I was dancing!" - Ellie
