I would like to firstly thank all the staff at our wonderful school, they make the school what it is - they are a joy to work with. I would also like to thank all the parents for your support this year - it is a privilege to educate your children.

Today was a lovely day. This morning, the sun was shining, some of our children were receiving their First Holy Communion and all was as it should be at st.Francis’. It was lovely to see so many people at church and we thank Mary Doran, Mrs Rossall, Father Sony, all parents and carers who have prepared the children for today and everyone who supports St.Francis Hill chapel. What a significant and very special Mass it was.

A huge thank you to the PTFA who organised another successful film night on Friday. This time around, the children enjoyed watching Despicable Me 3 - in preparation for our Minion themed floats on Saturday 1st June for Goosnargh and Whittingham Field Day. Amazingly, the PTFA managed to raise £133 from the film night! The children had a great time, eating snacks, snuggled up in their onesies - a great way to spend Friday night! There is still time if anyone wishes to help/support with the making of the floats, please contact school or Amanda Hamer (who is coordinating the making of the floats). Is is great to see so many parents and PTFA members giving their time to support the school - it is greatly appreciated. The children have also been working tirelessly in their Minion UFA group, with Miss Clarke, creating props and children in Nursery have made lots of minion themed flowers!

The children have had a very busy week – spending lots of time outside enjoying the sunshine, and inside having far too much fun! Our young leaders have been working with all the children across the school getting them playing different sports and taking part in different activities during break and lunch time. Having a wander around the playground at lunch time to see what the children were up – turned into me becoming a judge of an impressive variety talent show – something I am very experienced at, having pretended to be Simon Cowell on many talent show panels – this was of course done with the help of some very observant Year 2 children, who also fancied themselves as judges. The children are so very creative and fun to be around – it really is a pleasure to wander around at lunch time to see what they are getting up to. My wandering on Thursday afternoon reminded me of my very first visit to St Francis. I visited on a UFA afternoon some 10 years ago, and I was blown away by the variety, smiles, laughs and skills that the children were demonstrating. It is nice to see after so many years, that spirit of UFA has definitely not faded over time. UFA is a favourite part of the week for children to access different aspects of the curriculum, in fun creative ways – and the children love it! Check out the photos to see to children in their UFA groups.
