Cultural Celebration Week -Monday 19th May to Friday 23rd May
This year, we took a new approach to Cultural Celebration Week. To make the experience more meaningful for our children, their families, and the wider community, we chose to centre our planning around the diverse cultural backgrounds of our pupils. Using these as a starting point, we developed a range of engaging activities that reflected and celebrated this rich heritage. The week was a tremendous success, with children not only learning about different cultures but also proudly sharing their own - creating a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere filled with curiosity, respect, and joy.
Community and Contribute Week -Monday 10th – Friday 14th February
Throughout the week, our children had the opportunity to learn about the everyday heroes within our community - those who make a positive difference through their actions and dedication. They also made their own contributions, from helping care for the environment through litter picking, to adding a touch of magic to Alkrington Woods with enchanting additions to the fairy door trail.
In addition, our pupils collaborated with teachers from Middleton Technology High School to create stunning artworks, and worked alongside the Middleton Rotary Club and the Lighthouse Project. Through these partnerships, they helped raise awareness of the important work these organisations do, collected food for the local food bank, and raised funds for the Mikroshoni Orphanage in Kenya. These experiences reminded us all that we are stronger when we work together, and they helped our children grow into active, compassionate global citizens.
The response from the public has been truly heartwarming, with many embracing and celebrating the children’s efforts.
We couldn’t be prouder of how our pupils approached the week - with enthusiasm, care, and a real commitment to making a positive difference in their community.
Be Healthy, Be Safe Week - Monday 7th – Friday 11th October
It’s been a busy and exciting week of learning all about how to stay healthy and safe in our community. From road safety and water safety to understanding how to care for our pets properly, our children have explored a wide range of important topics.
These lessons are not only valuable—they could one day save our own lives or the lives of those we love. One standout moment was learning how to spot the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. To help remember the dangers and how to respond, the children even got creative—writing a rap complete with funky moves to reinforce these life-saving messages in a fun and memorable way.
