The Kirkby collaborative is the family of 16 schools
based in Kirkby. Each year, each school nominates a
number of pupils to celebrate their achievements such
as giving 100% effort in all areas of school life, being an
outstanding role model etc.
This year Kirkby High School hosted the event and we
are very proud of the children that were nominated.
Well done to:
Ruby Frankland, Michael Smith, Joshua
Fredrick, Lacy Curran, Patrick Lawler
and Mia Willis
Successful Sports Week
Last week we had a really successfully sports week.
We had many visitors during the three days providing
activities that the children don’t usually have the chance
to take part in.
On Wednesday the children took part in Fencing
which they all enjoyed very much.
Thursday they had the opportunity to experience Yoga
which went down very well with staff and children.
On Friday we finished the week with our Rise and
Shine dance led by some of our girls in Y4/5/6 and the
whole school took part, judo sessions then KS2 Sports
Day with
the
winning
team being
Belgium.
Children’s University
The Children’s University Programme
has been running in Westvale now
for 6 years.
Children who attend our after school
clubs have their hours registered and
once they’ve reached 30 hours they
are invited to
Hope University and have the chance
to wear a cap and gown and receive
a special certificate.
In our first year we only had 6
children that graduated.
Each year it has grown and this year
we were very proud to see 66 of our
children graduating.
Any one needing
a university
passport can buy
one from Mrs
Melvin for £1
Reception Safari Trip
Even though the rain never stopped,
Reception still managed to have a
great day at the Safari Park .
It started with a tour of the park, a
workshop and the children had the
chance to hold a snake plus a Giant
African Land Snail. They loved the
sea lion show then had their dinner in
the Safari tent.
