Christ Church CE Primary School, Walshaw

We are delighted to receive the news that our Eco Council for the last academic year have worked hard and have achieved the Eco Schools Green Flag award! 💚

We bid a sad farewell to our lovely cook Mrs Allen today and she leaves us to start a new job! Good luck and thanks for all the yummy dinners!

Well it’s time to say goodbye to our friends, moving on…

Well done to the Year 6 Class, we wish them all the best for the future!✨💙

Seedlings and Saplings had a fun morning of activities in the forest and out on the field. After lunch, they enjoyed a cinema afternoon with sweet treats too. A great way to celebrate the end of a successful year in Nursery and Reception. 😊

Coming to the end of our non-competitive sports day! What a fabulous morning we've had.

Hazel Class have had so much fun this afternoon playing with their toys! Such a lovely way to end our history topic!

It was lovely to have our special guests visit school this afternoon from Tottington Civic Pride group led by Yvonne Wright. The Eco Council showed them around our grounds, gardens and forest. After that, KS1 gave them a special afternoon tea and sung them a song! Thank you to our local heroes for keeping our area so tidy!

🐸Pond Update🐸
The Eco council and some of the gardening club have worked hard filling up the pond using rain water from the water butt! It is now pretty much full! Shout out to Mrs Renshaw for the pond water, water boatmen and plants from her pond! Also to Mrs Bates, Mr James and Miss Barnes for their support too!
If anyone has any: bark, stone chippings or plants going spare we could use to make the area look even more inviting please get in touch with Mrs Hudson!

Hazel Class had a wonderful afternoon of outdoor learning today. We made bug hotels, helped w**d the garden, read our books and spent time practising times tables. We love being outdoors!

Oak Class have wowed the audience in the first dress rehearsal of their show 'I'm an 11 Year Old Get Me Out Of Here!' We know your parents will love it!

We are about to embark on a special final week for our lovely Year 6 children and their parents!

From caterpillar to butterfly, both Seedlings and Saplings have enjoyed observing the life cycle of a butterfly. It was lovely to see our Peacock butterflies fly off into the sunshine earlier this week.

Inspired by the Nanzones at Asda the children of CCW made some flags, banners and bunting for the residents of Walshaw Hall Care Home ahead of the UEFA EURO 2024 final on Sunday! Here they are dropping them off. Picture News

We all survived the high ropes!!

More fun at Heaton Park!

The children have completed the nets and are now enjoying themselves on the big slide.

Having a great start to the Oak class treat day at Heaton Park!

Olympic Passport Day has been great so far! We have had lots of fun going around all the classes designing medals, making Eiffel Tower models, competing in football and archery tournaments and lots of art and craft!

Hazel Year 2s had a great Science lesson this afternoon - we looked at lots of different wildlife in our beautiful school garden area. We were amazed at how much there was to see on a nice sunny day! ☀️🦋🐝🪻

The Seedlings were using their fine motor skills to chop up mushrooms and tomatoes to make delicious mud pizzas this morning, garnished with a nice dandelion salad. Yummy!

We loved the Ned Show today! The NED Shows Reception to Year 6 enjoyed a story about making good choices. We then thought about how we can each be a champion by: Never giving up, Encouraging others and Doing our best! Lots of cool magic tricks and yo-yo skills on show! 🪀🪄Yo-yos will be on sale from the school office from Monday, please see the order form for more details!

This week in Cabin Crew we have been celebrating American Independence Day with pancakes in Breakfast Club and cookies in After School Club. Children have enjoyed making U.S.A flags too.
Just a reminder that After School Club closes at 3.30pm on Friday 19th July. Remember, one hour taster sessions are available - please book in with the school office.

Operation school pond is underway! We have planned (with the help of the eco council) to use an old planter as a pond. We are going to dig a hole to sink it into the ground, add rain water, plants and a ladder to encourage wildlife! 🐸🌿🌱

Our Early Years unit would love this to enhance their outdoor provision!

The Seedlings have been learning about Caterpillars this week. The children designed their own munching, crunching caterpillar on a leaf. They loved making them crawl backwards and forward.

Well done to all of our amazing, talented ukulele players who performed in the summer concert this afternoon! We were really proud of you all 🎵👏

Larch Class had a great final forest session today. They made shelters in groups, Mrs. Hudson got to test how waterproof they were with a watering can! ⛺️💦They also made spinning tops which they’ve shared with the Key Stage 1 classes who are looking at toys from the past.

Holly Year 2's enjoyed making playdoh in Science this afternoon. We explored different ways of changing the shape and finished my making an animal. We had loads of fun!

Holly Class have been busy this afternoon. We have been sending important messages to our book character 'Orion'. We have been suggesting ways to stop him being afraid of the dark. We loved posting them in the post box! 📮
