Bring and Buy Sale :Thank you for all your donations for the Bring & Buy Sale last week.  We raised £740  which has been sent to help the people of Haiti following the disaster.

New Build Update :  Plans have now been passed for all the work and quotes are due back with our consultants.  Building work is expected to start on the Key Stage 2 classrooms and Drama Room in March. The classes will be housed in fully equipped modern mobiles while the work is taking place.  The renovations to the Halsall Building and the provision of a link corridor will commence immediately after. This is an exciting time for us all and we look forward to seeing the work completed.

Many thanks to those who have already donated towards our 10% of the building costs.  Don’t forget if you are a tax payer and are making a donation please remember to gift aid it.  Forms are available in the school office.

Panto :

St Luke’s Players are producing their version of Dick Whittington. 

Tickets available for Wednesday 7.30 p.m. performance

Tickets £5 adults, £3 children

The children enjoyed an alternative assembly in school last Friday when Mad Science’ demonstrated some aspects of science to all the children.  We are hoping to set up a KS2 Science club soon.

School Car Park :  The car park at school is for use only by staff and visitors. We have recently had an incident where a pedestrian was knocked into by a cyclist and a second one where a child was narrowly missed being hit by a car entering the car park.   For safety reasons this entrance should NOT be used by people on foot.    Thank you

St. Luke's Halsall is 250!

This year we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our school. A quarter of a millennium ago, an innovative young woman called Catherine Halsall believed that girls needed to be offered the same opportunities in life as boys - a radical thought in Georgian times! In her will, Catherine donated enough money to allow the establishment of Halsall Girl's School, now known as St. Luke's Halsall CE Primary School.

We are planning a celebration week beginning with a Georgian assembly on Monday 22nd September 2008, culminating in a Victorian Garden Party on Saturday 27th September, to reflect the eras through which our school has prospered.

We also celebrate Catherine's memory, by bringing our school forward in the redevelopment of our buildings to provide a state-of-the-art Foundation Stage, and turning her Halsall building into a place which will provide a spectacular welcome into our Christian community.

Proud parents receive certificates

Just some of the proud parents who received certificates during a special assembly this term. 'Understanding how children learn Maths using the internet' was a course designed to help parents and grandparents help children with their maths.  It was organised by Mrs. Jones and designed and run by Mr. Steve Rees, of the Partnership.  He is pictured far right after presenting the certificates.

If you have any ideas for courses please let me know and we will do our best to ensure they are organised.  Sue Kerwin
