non-readers aged seven to 15 at the Obo Government School, have made such terrif­ ic progress using “synthetic phonics” that they have man­ aged to read the letters sent by children at Stonyhurst’s pre-prep school, Hodder House, and have written replies. Synthetic phonics is a


method of teaching reading which first teaches the letter, sounds and then builds up to blending these sounds togeth­ er. -Before embarking on her ..trip,:Annie spent some time at

STAFF and friends of a Clitheroe medical practice set themselves an arduous challenge in a former col­ league’s memory. Nineteen people set out on the 26-mile Three Peaks


route and 16 completed it in testing conditions. Susan Harper, a secretary


with the Pendleside Medical Practice, died in December last year. Her work colleagues.


friends and relatives decided to undertake the challenge in her memory, raising £1,331 for the Stroke Association. The youngest participant


was 22 and the eldest in their late 50s, said one of the


organisers, Helen Kirkwood. She added that, despite the


poor weather, everyone had an excellent day with those completing the route doing so in between 11 hours 04 mins and 11 hours 44 mins.


Group’s walk begins at a famous ‘film set’


CARNFORTH railway sta­ tion, famous for its role in the film “Brief Encounter”, was the start of the Clitheroe Natu­ ralists’ last coach walk of the summer. The walk headed up Kellet


Road to join the Lancaster Canal, a stretch of which had to be diverted when the M6 was built. After a damp lunch break


by the canal, the River Keer was followed until it met the Pine Lakes Holiday Park. After skirting the perimeter fence and crossing the A6, a cart track was taken to Bor wick Lane, which led into Warton. A short break was taken


among the ruins of the 14th Century Warton Old Rectory, by which time the rain hail


stopped and the sun was shin­ ing. Warton has connections ■with George Washington, the first president of the United States. The American “Stars and Stripes” flag is e'ven flown from the church flagpole on Independence Day and one of the pubs is named after him. FVom here the walk had to be completed by road, as, due to


severe flooding, the field path was impassable. Fifty-four varieties of wild


flowers were seen, including bartsia, bladder campion and yellow water lily. Many coots and swallows were seen and also a heron. For the walk on Saturday,


please join the 11-20 a.m. Bow- land Transit to Slaidbum.
