What a week it’s been – and what a way to finish it off!

We kicked things off with our Sports Day, and the children were full of energy and enthusiasm. It was brilliant to see them cheering each other on, showing resilience, and celebrating each other’s successes with big smiles and warm encouragement. The Birkdale team spirit was truly shining!

Midweek brought the deliciousness of our International Food Café. Thank you so much to all the families who sent in dishes – from savoury bites to sweet treats, everything was incredible. The children loved trying new foods and sharing tastes from their cultures. It was a real highlight that brought everyone together.

And then today… our big trip to Lotherton Hall – in 30-degree heat! The children were absolute superstars, showing brilliant behaviour, boundless curiosity, and plenty of perseverance as we explored the manor house and met the animals. From shady woodland walks to spotting exotic creatures in the Wildlife World, we made the most of the sunshine (with lots of water breaks and suncream, of course!).

A huge thank you goes to our wonderful parent volunteers who joined us on the trip. Your support made the day run so smoothly – we couldn’t have done it without you!
