• COP26 Banner Marches to Glasgow

  Thu 07 Oct 2021

  Children helped design a banner for COP26. Camino de Santiago known in English as the Way of St. James, is a network of pilgrims' ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle are buried.  Camino are walking 500 miles to COP26 in Glasgow and passed through Newton-in-Bowland on Tuesday.  The banner will make its way to Glasgow for COP26 and it will then be taken on another march in November.  Two of our junior boys, Owen and Callum, took the school's banner to Newton Village Hall, where they both spoke about being a plastic free school, how they loved being a forest school where they actually got to learn in the forest, how they learn about deforestation and other environmental issues and how lucky they feel to live in the country side in a lovely place. They even did a little recorded interview which will appear on COP26 socials.

• Care for Our Environment

  Sun 27 Jun 2021

  The whole school recently came together to clean up the school grounds.  The children already have a very good understanding of the importance of caring for our environment and this particular litter picking session highlighted how litter is not always due to the choices people make with their unwanted items, but can also be due to 'wear and tear'.  Science became part of the discussions about the biodegradable nature of certain materials.

• EASTER READ AROUND 2021

  Thu 01 Apr 2021
  Easter Read Around Yesterday the children and staff came together in the school hall to reflect on the Easter story. Children listened to the story from the points of view of different people who witnessed the event at that time, and Easter hymns were interspersed between the readings. Despite the fact that we were unable to invite parents and parishioners to join us this year, the Sunshine Society (Mini Vinnies) made little Easter bundles, to show our school community that they are very much still in our thoughts at this special time of the year.
