FREE HOLIDAY CLUBS FOR LOCAL FAMILIES
Please look out for the ‘Get Stuck In’ holiday clubs which will run from 3-30 August at 16 local venues across Blackburn with Darwen. The clubs will provide a range of fun activities with a hot meal and refreshments, for children aged 4-16 years with a focus on those on FSM’s. The activities will be age appropriate and will be run by experienced partners from the region.
Activities include multi-sports, dance, drama, arts and craft, movie sessions plus splash bubble and pop – and many more!
In addition, the holiday clubs will provide additional support for parents if they need it, with a range of activities including cooking clubs, welfare, debt and employment advice and support for their own well-being.
The organisers are building in social distancing to ensure children are kept safe and contingencies are in place to deal with the changing guidelines as lockdown is eased.
Parents should keep an eye out for further details that will be released over the next few weeks.
The clubs are co-ordinated by a not-for-profit consortium, Spring North, that secured the funding and will work with delivering partners including Blackburn Youth Zone, Blackburn Rovers Football Community Trust, Youth Action, Newground, IMO, BwD Young Peoples Services and Children Centres with support from Westholme School catering.

World Mental Health day
We have been thinking about World Mental Health Day his week and how this may affect us. We have tried to think about ourselves this week and how can we be kind to our own bodies and minds. We came up a list of things as a class we would like to think about when being kind to ourselves.

We received some brilliant, exciting Christmas gifts. Santa told us his favourite foods (which we will definitely leave out for him to eat). What a pleasure it was to meet Father Christmas!
Until next year! Stay safe Santa!
Christingle Oranges
We have had the most fun week, celebrating Christmas. What a treat. Today we made Christingles! Here are a few pictures to show you what we did with them.
Planting
This week we have been learning how to look after plants and provide the correct nutrients for them to grow.
Did you know, Growing healthy plants is no easy job! We must ensure they have enough sunlight and water for them to grow.
On Wednesday we had a very special visit from gardening experts Anne and David. They taught us how to plant seeds in our own plant pots. What a experience!
We are all now gardening experts. We would like to say a special Thank You to Anne and David for visiting our class and sharing there gardening skills with us.
Here are a few pictures to show you our great experience.

Family Album Fun
We have been learning about our family. Mrs Martin's Mummy and son Charlie, Mrs Khan's Mummy and son Ayaan came to visit our school. We looked through family Albums and learned about different relationships within families. This was a fun day and we enjoyed having such lovely visitors.
We brought our family albums to school and Mrs Martin showed them to us. This was interesting and we enjoyed learning more about each other.
