🏐👟 Year 5 PE: Netball and Cognitive Co-ordination

Year 5 have been developing their physical skills, co-ordination and teamwork through a combination of netball and cognitive PE activities.

During their netball lesson, the children focused on developing some of the key skills needed to play the game effectively. They practised accurate chest passes, moving into space and pivoting while in possession of the ball. The children worked hard to improve their passing technique and began to think about how movement, communication and quick decision-making can help them maintain possession.

The following week, the children took part in a cognitive PE session, where the focus was on co-ordination, concentration and reaction skills. They completed a range of activities designed to challenge both their minds and bodies, requiring them to listen carefully, think quickly and control their movements.

It was great to see the children applying the skills they had developed in netball to their cognitive activities, while showing great determination.

Well done, Year 5! 👟🏃🏻

🪖🎖️ Year 6 History - Understanding the Causes of the First World War

Year 6 have been developing their historical understanding by investigating the causes and consequences of the events leading up to the First World War.

Working collaboratively, the children explored a range of key historical events, discussing not only what happened, but also how and why these events took place. They considered the important links between events and explored how one decision or event could contribute to another, helping them to develop a deeper understanding of cause and consequence.

The children then put their knowledge into practice by working together to create a timeline of the events leading up to the outbreak of war. They used their discussions and historical knowledge to carefully place events in chronological order, making connections between them along the way.

It was fantastic to see the children sharing ideas, challenging each other’s thinking and explaining their reasoning. Their collaborative approach allowed them to learn from one another while building a clearer picture of the complex chain of events that ultimately led to the First World War.

Well done, Year 6, for your thoughtful discussions, teamwork and enthusiasm for history. 🎖️🪖

🎉🥳 Year 6 - Class of 2026!

It has been a week full of unforgettable memories as Burtonwood Community Primary School celebrated its Year 6 pupils before they begin the exciting next chapter of their journey at high school.

With glorious sunshine throughout the week, the Year 6 Fun Day was the perfect opportunity for everyone to relax and celebrate together. The children enjoyed the huge tractor inflatable, water fights, outdoor games, music and dancing, making the most of the beautiful weather.

A delicious barbecue lunch completed the day, with burgers and hot dogs enjoyed together outdoors.

The celebrations concluded with the Leavers' Disco. The school hall was transformed for the occasion, with a DJ providing the soundtrack for the evening while the children had fun with their friends. There was plenty of food, a sweet treat or two, and lots of opportunities to capture special memories before saying their final goodbyes. The fun continued with a piñata, which proved to be a big hit with the children, and some pupils took to the microphone to showcase their singing talents during a karaoke session. The evening was filled with laughter, dancing and smiles, providing a fitting end to their time together at Burtonwood Primary School.

It has been a wonderful week of laughter, friendship and celebration, giving the Year 6 pupils the chance to reflect on everything they have achieved during their time at Burtonwood Community Primary School.

As they prepare to begin their next adventure, the whole school wishes them every success and happiness for the future.

Good luck, Year 6! 🥳🎉

The whole school community would like to take a moment to celebrate and thank Mrs Crowder as she prepares to leave Burtonwood Community Primary School after an incredible 15 years of dedication, care, and commitment.

Mrs Crowder first joined Burtonwood as an NQT, beginning her very first teaching role here at the school. Over the years, she has grown into an incredibly valued member of staff, sharing her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm with countless children and colleagues.

Throughout her time at Burtonwood, Mrs Crowder has made a lasting impact on the lives of so many pupils. Her kindness, patience, and dedication to helping children achieve their very best have been clear in everything she has done. She has created wonderful memories with the children she has taught and has always been a fantastic support to both pupils and colleagues alike.

Mrs Crowder has been a much-loved member of the Burtonwood team, and her contribution to the school over the past 15 years has been greatly appreciated. From her first days as a newly qualified teacher to the experienced and inspirational teacher she is today, she has played a special part in shaping our school community.

Although everyone is very sad to see Mrs Crowder leave, the school is incredibly grateful for all the wonderful memories, hard work, and positivity she has brought to Burtonwood over the years. She leaves with the very best wishes from everyone and will always remain a special part of the Burtonwood family.

✉️🌟 Year 6 Leavers Assembly

An emotional and memorable morning was held at St Michael’s All Angels Church in Burtonwood as Year 6 celebrated the end of their primary school journey.

Parents, carers, and grandparents joined the children at the church, along with the Year 5 pupils who were invited to share in the special occasion and get a glimpse of what their own leavers’ celebration may look like next year. Reverend Joan warmly welcomed everyone for the celebration.

The assembly began with a performance from the Year 6 children, before pupils shared some of their favourite memories from their time at Burtonwood Primary School. Seeing how much they had grown and developed over the years made it a particularly special moment for everyone attending.

One of the most touching parts of the assembly came when some of the Year 6 pupils shared letters they had written to their four-year-old selves. In these thoughtful letters, the children offered advice, encouragement, and reassurance about their journey through school. Their words reflected the friendships they had made, the challenges they had overcome, and the many experiences that had helped shape them into the young people they are today.

The assembly also included the presentation of the Rotary Club Shield, celebrating this year’s Young Achiever. The award recognises a pupil who has demonstrated commitment, resilience, kindness, and a positive attitude throughout their time at Burtonwood Primary School. This year’s recipient was Evie L, who was delighted to receive the award in recognition of her achievements.

Reverend Joan concluded the assembly with a thoughtful prayer, offering blessings and warm wishes to the children as they begin the next stage of their journey.

The staff and wider school community are proud of the Year 6 pupils and the achievements they have made during their time at Burtonwood Primary School. They leave with many happy memories behind them and exciting opportunities ahead. Good luck in high school! 👏🏻🥳

🌿🥬 Year 6 Production "I'm an 11-Year-Old... Get Me Out of Here!"

Our Year 6 production of I'm an 11-Year-Old... Get Me Out of Here! was a great success and a fantastic way to end the year. Everyone worked hard learning their lines and songs.

The audience loved the challenges, funny jokes, and brilliant acting from the cast. A particular highlight of the performance was when some brave parents joined in with the fun and took part in the show, facing the challenge of being covered in beans and spaghetti! It had everyone laughing and made the performance even more memorable.

A big thank you goes to all the teachers and staff who helped organise the production, as well as the families who came along to support us. We are also very grateful to everyone who helped with props, lighting, and music.

The Year 6 production was a wonderful celebration of their final year at primary school. It is a performance they will always remember! 🎭🎬

🎹🎼 Year 5 Keyboard Assembly 2026

Year 5 were delighted to welcome parents, grandparents and carers into school for their annual keyboard assembly. The performance was a wonderful opportunity for the children to share everything they have learned this year under the guidance of our talented music teacher, Sue.

The pupils performed a variety of pieces with growing confidence, concentration and enthusiasm, demonstrating the progress they have made throughout the year. A particular highlight was the well-known tune 'Tequila', where the audience joined in, creating a memorable atmosphere.

Sue, who has been teaching music at Burtonwood for many years, praised the children for their dedication and the excellent progress they have made. It was a fantastic celebration of their hard work and a chance for families to see the skills the children have developed.

A huge thank you to Sue for her continued commitment, encouragement and enthusiasm. Well done to all of our Year 5 pupils on such an enjoyable performance! 🎹🎼

👟🏃🏻 Burtonwood Pupils Take on July's Victoria Park Parkrun

It was fantastic to see so many Burtonwood pupils taking part in the July Parkrun at Victoria Park, St Helens. Once again, our children showed great determination, resilience and enthusiasm as they completed the 5K course.

Many of the pupils have been preparing through our after-school running club, where they have been working hard to improve their fitness and endurance. It was wonderful to see their commitment rewarded as they crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces and a real sense of accomplishment.

The Parkrun continues to be a brilliant way for our pupils to stay active, challenge themselves and enjoy being part of the local community. It was especially lovely to see families supporting one another and cheering all the runners on throughout the morning.

A huge well done to everyone who took part. We are incredibly proud of your effort and positive attitude, and we look forward to seeing even more Burtonwood pupils at future Parkruns! 👟🏃🏻

🎤🕺🏻 Dancing Dinners!

The fun has continued at lunchtime as Dancing Dinners remains a massive favourite with children across the school.

The portable speaker has become a regular feature on the playground, helping to create a lively and welcoming atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

As well as requesting their favourite songs, children have also been stepping into the spotlight to showcase their talents. Budding singers, musicians, and performers from a range of year groups have been entertaining their friends, with many pupils using the litter pickers as makeshift microphones to add to the fun! Their creativity and enthusiasm have encouraged more children to get involved and perform in front of a supportive audience.

It has been wonderful to see children of all ages encouraging one another, singing along and dancing together. The lunchtime sessions have become a fantastic way to celebrate pupils' talents while continuing to promote the positive, inclusive atmosphere that is at the heart of our Delightful Dinners approach.

A huge well done to everyone who has taken part so far. The school looks forward to hearing even more performances and seeing more pupils get involved as the lunchtime entertainment continues to grow. 🎤🕺🏻
