Buckshaw Primary School

We are busy making preparations for our summer fair in a few weeks time. The bouncy castle is booked, the donkeys are saddling up and the games and stalls are under construction!

We are looking for donations of the following things:
- Clean soft toys for our teddy tombola
- Sweets and chocolates for our sweetie tombola
- Bottles of anything at all for our bottle tombola
- Recycled gifts
- Prizes for our raffle such as bottles, boxes of chocolates, vouchers or cash donations

On Monday 29th June, we will be holding a non-uniform day and asking each child to bring in something from the list.

If anyone is able to help with the set up, clear up or running of a stall, please get in touch.

We are looking for some new members of our lunchtime team.

The role would involve working each day between 12 noon and 1.15pm and could be either working in the dinner hall to supervise and support children eating their lunch, wiping tables, clearing away chairs and tables, or it could involve being a part of our Play Team and getting involved in our outdoor play activities.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact Mrs Price or the school office.

We can't wait to welcome the Tough Runner obstacle course to Buckshaw on Friday 15th May for our sponsored event.

If you can collect some sponsorship to help raise funds for our sensory room, these can be paid into the school office as cash, or via our Go Fund Me page:

Let's get muddy!!

Do you have any wellies or waterproofs of any size that you no longer need?
From September, we are asking parents to provide a pair of wellies for each child so that they can play out in all weathers.
If you have any pairs that your child has outgrown, or any waterproof suits, jackets or trousers, please send them into school so that we can begin to build a collection of spares.
Thank you

Our Reception outdoor area is all set up and ready for more sunshine this week! They’ll be exploring, creating, investigating and learning through play! 🚘🚦🪲🐛🧚‍♀️

We’re excited to see a full week of sunshine, which means plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun during our OPAL playtimes!

To help your child stay safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy the day, please make sure they come to school with:
👕 Appropriate clothing including a hat
🧴 Suncream, also applied before the school day
💧 A water bottle

Let’s make the most of the sunshine and keep everyone happy, healthy, and hydrated! ☀️☀️☀️☀️

We have had the most amazing first week of OPAL play! We are now beginning to develop more areas of play.
If anyone can help with any of these items, please bring them to the office for the attention of Mrs Mensforth.
Thank you
