🐳 Whale done everyone at Ludworth Primary! This year you’ve blown us all away! 🐋

Our fantastic Reception Class 2025–2026 have been making a splash with their learning, inspired by the beautiful story The Storm Whale.

The children have worked incredibly hard on their writing, creating their own wonderful pieces while exploring the story’s themes of friendship, kindness and caring for others. We are so proud of the progress they’ve made and the enthusiasm they’ve shown throughout this learning journey.

This amazing work is now proudly displayed for everyone to enjoy! So, if you’re passing Marple Train Station, why not dive in and take a look?

Well done, Reception you’ve shown oceans of creativity and imagination and we’re sure you’ll make waves with your amazing work through our community !!!

What an afternoon for adventure. Year 6 and Year 4 had an excellent time canoeing down the canal today — sunshine, teamwork, and plenty of smiles all round. A huge well done to everyone who took part.
