Bug Buster Session
Today, Class 2 took part in an exciting Bug Busters session led by the Health Protection Agency. The children learned all about germs, including how they spread and how to wash their hands properly to stay healthy. They also explored the importance of good oral hygiene and keeping clean.
One of the most surprising parts of the session was discovering how much sugar is hidden in juices and other drinks—this really shocked some of the children!
Cheer Dance
KS2 have thoroughly enjoyed cheerleading this half-term. The children have worked hard to learn a new routine, which they will be performing at Sports Day. They have especially loved adding their own ideas to the routine and working together as a team.

Science – Life Cycles - Year 5 and 6
In science, we explored life cycles, including learning about sexual reproduction in plants; to support our learning, we dissected real plants and categorised their parts.
Winmarleigh Hall
The children had a wonderful time at Winmarleigh Hall during their bi‑annual residential. Throughout the trip, they showed excellent levels of independence, resilience, and determination, pushing themselves to try new activities and face challenges with confidence.
Many children stepped outside their comfort zones, demonstrating real courage as they worked through their fears and supported one another. It was lovely to see their confidence grow as the residential progressed, with pupils showing maturity, teamwork, and a positive attitude in everything they did.
The experience provided valuable opportunities for personal development, helping children build self‑belief, problem‑solving skills, and lasting memories. We are incredibly proud of how they represented the school and of the resilience they showed throughout the trip.
Well done to all the children for making the residential such a success!
Still Life Art – Spring 1
In art class, we focused on still life. We experimented with different still life mediums, both traditional and contemporary, using photography, paint, collage, and clay. For our final project, we created our own still life using a medium of our choice.

We enjoyed the athletic competition and performed very well. We made our school proud by competing in different activities and showing great sportsmanship alongside schools.

In geography, we have been exploring the UK in more detail and learning how to read OS maps. Today, we took our learning outdoors and mapped the school grounds, creating our own OS symbol and using compass points.
Football Competition - 18th November 2025
What a busy week! The day after the dance competition, a group of our older children represented our school at the small schools football competition organised by Wyre and Fylde School Sports Partnership. They tried hard, showed resilience and enjoyed the experience.
Secret War - 7th November 2025
This afternoon, Key Stage Two travelled to Preston to visit the Museum of Lancashire for the 'Secret War' workshop. The children got to experience what life was like in the world of sabotage and espionage during WWII. The children had a great time getting into charater and dressing up as spies, becoming codebreakers at Bletchley Park, building a map for one of the D-Day landing sights, and learning to interpret aerial reconnaissance photographs. This was a valuable learning experience for our children.
Ladyewell Shrine - 22nd October 2025
This morning, the whole of Key Stage Two visited the shrine at Ladyewell. The serene atmosphere of the shrine and its lovely grounds provided a wonderful chance for the children to pause, reflect and find an inner sense of peace through personal and collective prayer. It was a deeply moving and calming experience for us all. They enjoyed exploring the grounds and learning about the Martyrs who are honoured at the site. Our visit concluded with a Mass led by Father Francisco, which was a fantastic end to our visit.
Tag Rugby - 19th October 2025
This afternoon, our Tag Rugby Team travelled to Fleetwood Rugby Club. The children played hard and managed to get some tries. They all really enjoyed their time and can't wait for the next opportunity to play rugby!
Mass of the Schools' Centenary Icon - 18th September 2025
The children in Meerkat class were invited to attend a celebratory mass at St Joseph's in Ansdell, Lytham St Annes. The children had a lovely time celebrating this memorable occasion alongside representatives from schools in our Fylde School Community. It was also a special day for three of our children who were altar servers.
