Pupils find out more about war...


JUNIOR pupils at Thomeyholme RC Primary School at Dunsop Bridge journeyed back in time this month when they emerienced a day in the Second World War. Dressed as evacuees, the children tasted war­


time recipes for vegetable pie and “eggless” fruit cake. They learned songs including “The white cliffs of Dover” and “Run rabbit run” . There was the drama of responding to an air-raid siren, and they also got to “drive” an authentic vintage army jeep! In adciition, they made puppets out of socks


for “make-do and mend” , and then used more modern technology to research the period and prepare projects on the topic.

AT B AR ROW ,


Off to see the wizard!


A GRDUP o f 40 pupils from Stonyhurst St Mary’s Hall in Hurst Green - the prep school for Stonyhurst College - attended


I a highly entertaining version of The Wiz- I ard of Qz, staged at the Bolton Octagon '


I theatre. There were no references to Kansas


or ruby slippers; this Dorothy had been


! blown o f f course from Farnworth and ! sported a pair o f red baseball boots! The catchy singing, audience participa­


tion and rambunctiousness made for an enjoyable evening - though probably no- one had as much fun as the actor, playing the Cowardly Lion.

On Wednesday, the school nurses are com­ ing into school to talk to Class Six about keeping healthy etc.


And on Friday, the Rev Tim Thorpe is com­ ing into school to take the school as­ sembly.


Staff would also like to remind parents about parking outside school both in the mornings and afternoons. A few local residents have brought to our attention that some parents are parking across driveways and are therefore unable to get otit from their own homes.
