• Our First Day at Losehill

  We had a good first day at Losehill. The children enjoyed the Treak Cliff Cavern visit, especially the part that looked like cream cheese. The children carried out a village study around Castletown before making candles in the evening. We are very proud to have had some many positive comments about the childrens’ excellent listening and behaviour.

• A Visit from Sarah Dines MP

  Fri 12 Jan 2024 Caroline Hicks

  Sarah Dines MP came to visit us in school to hand out prizes after all the children entered her Christmas Card competition in November. Daisy was one of the runner-up children whose picture was printed on the back of Sarah Dines' Christmas card.

   

  We performed some poetry for Sarah and she spoke to the children about what it was like to be an MP. Afterwards, some of our Junior children gave Sarah a tour of the school and then she answered questions lead by the School Council. The children had an informative morning and we found out some interesting facts about being a MP.

• Christingle Service

  Fri 01 Dec 2023 Caroline Hicks

  We had our Christingle Service in Litton Church at the beginning of December to start our Christmas season.  Every child in school made a Christingle and we bought them to the service. The Year 5 and Year 6 children read out prayers during the service and some of our Governors took part in prayers and giving a talk. The school choir led the singing. The older children's candles were lit to create a warm, magical glow symbolising the light of Christ.
