• Mini Vinnies Christmas Food Bank Appeal

  Wed 06 Dec 2023 Mrs M Farquhar

  We are the Mini Vinnies and we have been thinking how we can help families not as lucky as ourselves in the run up to Christmas.  Christmas can be a time of need for many people and so we have decided to support the Penwortham Food bank at Kingsfold Community Centre. We would like to ask the children of St Teresa’s to bring in long dated food items before the 20^th December so that we can deliver it to the Community Centre during the morning of the 22nd December.  If you can help us with our Christmas appeal, we would really appreciate it.  We are asking for one item of food per family and have split the food items into groups in the table below to help with the list of items needed.

   

  KS1	Tinned fruit Tinned Vegetables Tinned Tomatoes Rice pudding Custard Soup Beans
  KS2	Crisps Cereals Biscuits Christmas items such as: Cakes Mince pies Chocolates Puddings

• Cold Water Kills Safety Advice from Lancashire Fire and Rescue

  Wed 19 Jul 2023 Mrs M Farquhar

  Drowning Prevention - stay safe near water from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service

   

  When the warm weather hits, please don’t be tempted to cool off in open water -

  • The water is colder than it looks, even on a warm evening
  • This can lead to cold water shock
  • The current is stronger than it looks
  • There are hidden dangers beneath the surface
  • It is likely to be unsupervised

   

  If you see someone in trouble in the water:

  • call 999;
  • encourage them not to panic;
  • and, if they can’t stand, float on their back in a starfish shape.

   

  Tuesday July 25 is World Drowning Prevention Day. See World Drowning Prevention Day - 25 July (rnli.org) for information about the day. To help raise awareness, landmarks across the whole of Lancashire are being lit blue on the Tuesday evening. We would love to see your photos of them if you spot any (only the buildings though please – try not to include people). You can send them to - preventionsupport@lancsfirerescue.org.uk

• PTFA Summer Sunflower Hunt

  Wed 17 May 2023 Mrs M Farquhar

  The PTFA would like to invite you to be part of our Summer Sunflower Hunt. It will involve planting,
  growing, measuring, recording, walking, spotting, getting creative and using your brain. We would like you
  to plant a sunflower in your garden to create a sea of giant sunny sunflowers around Penwortham.
  During the summer holiday, you will be able to go out for walks as a family to try to ‘hunt for and collect’
  the words that will be attached to each of the sunflowers. The family with the highest number of correct
  words will win a prize. There are plenty of other prizes to be won – details to follow.
  Cost: £5 per pack – only one needed per household.
  Who can take part?: Everyone in the St. Teresa’s School family – Pupils, Staff, Governors, Grandparents and
  New starters. To make things easier for walking, if you do not live in the Penwortham area, perhaps you
  could plant your sunflower in a Grandparents garden or a friend’s garden. Over several weeks, we will send
  out the resources that you will need to fully take part.
  What should we do?: Complete each of the three sections of this sheet and place in a clearly labelled
  envelope along with £5. If you require an additional pack (for Grandparents), please ask at the school office
  for a spare form and complete/send into school with £5 as above.
  When?: Please return your forms as soon as possible. Section 1 packs will be sent home week beginning
  15th May so that you can get planting.

• King Charles III Coronation Celebration Day 5th May

  Wed 26 Apr 2023 Mrs M Farquhar

  King Charles III Coronation Day Friday 5^th May 2023

   

  We are planning a day of celebrations to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III. The children will be completing a variety of royal themed activities and art work, as well as learning more about the Royal Family. Pupils may come into school dressed in red, white and blue. The children will have their special coronation lunch, outside, weather permitting.

   

  We are also running an optional crown decorating competition. The children can bring their entries into school, on the day, and prizes will be given in each class.

   

  We hope that the children will have a memorable day and enjoy the celebrations.
