Consider Yourself
Mothers' Day Worship
Horse Chestnut Class, along with the year 3 children from Hawthorn Class, led a Mothers' Day worship in church on Tuesday 6 March.
The theme of the worship was to celebrate all the things our mum's do for us from the moment we are born.
The children wrote personal 'thank you's' to their mum's which can be seen in the video below.
Egyptian Museum
We have been learning about Ancient Egypt and our children showed excellent research/design and technology skills to produce imaginative projects.
Their amazing creations transformed Horse Chestnut classroom into an Egyptian Museum for the day, inviting Rowan Class to its opening.

The children were very excited to have Blackburn Rovers players, Derrick Williams and Corry Evans visit Horse Chestnut class, as part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme.
The players answered questions from the class and also spent time listening to some of the children reading.
Take a look at the video of their visit below.
