Year 5 Relay Lesson - Developing Technique
In our PE lesson we have been learning the technique of relaying using a baton, making sure our head is held up and arm out ready to receive the baton from the runner, we also needed good eye-hand coordination. As the receiver we needed to keep our hand out ready to get a firm hold of the baton and make the pass over smooth so that we didn't drop the baton. The person handing over the baton needed to make sure that they had their arm outstretched and that they kept a good vision of the receiver to make the passover fast and smooth.

Year 5 parents joined their children today to sample dinner time in the hall and share the experience of enjoying our lovely school dinner. It was great seeing so many parents.

Free School Meals - Extended!
As you all are aware, we received funding last year and we were fortunate to be able to offer free school meals to all of our children. We thought that this would be run until the end of March, however we are thrilled to announce we are able to extend this to the 26th April. From 29th April children who are not on free school meals will have to pay for their lunch and there will be a slight increase in cost and the new charge will be £2.50 per day. Now is a good opportunity to look into seeing if your child will be eligible for free school meals if you haven't yet applied by visiting Blackburn with Darwen Borough Councils website here https://www.blackburn.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-meals
