This week, we had a wonderful celebration of Autism Awareness Day at Holy Rosary RC Primary School!
The afternoon began with a thought-provoking assembly led by our school council. They explained the "Autistic Spectrum" and how it's similar to the spectrum of colour - we all have our own unique way of perceiving the world around us.
Following the assembly, the entire school community came together for a joyful Colour Run around the playground. It was a magnificent sight to see the children running and laughing, covered in a rainbow of vibrant hues.
This event was a powerful reminder that diversity is something to be celebrated. At Holy Rosary, we strive to create an inclusive environment where every child can thrive and feel valued for who they are.
We're so proud of our school council for leading this meaningful activity and helping to spread awareness and understanding about Autism. It was a truly special day that brought our community closer together.
What did you think of our Autism Awareness celebration? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

This week, we were delighted to welcome parents to Holy Rosary RC Primary to help the children make a special Mother's Day gift.
The children had a wonderful time expressing their creativity and love for their mums. They drew beautiful images, wrote heartfelt messages, and added stickers and ribbons to decorate their handmade jars.
The finished products looked absolutely fantastic and we're sure the mums will treasure them. It was a lovely opportunity for the children to celebrate the important women in their lives.
We're so proud of the effort and care the children put into these gifts. What a wonderful way to mark Mother's Day at our school! 🌺

What a wonderful experience our Year 3 children have had as part of the schools linking project! They have been visiting Mayfield School, getting to know their Year 3 peers and exploring each other's school environments.
This has been a truly valuable opportunity for our children to build connections beyond our own school community. They have embraced the chance to make new friends, share experiences, and learn about different cultures and perspectives.
The feedback from our children has been overwhelmingly positive - they have loved visiting Mayfield and welcoming their new friends to Holy Rosary RC Primary. Seeing the children's enthusiasm and the meaningful relationships they have formed has been a delight.
Initiatives like the schools linking project are so important in helping our children develop important social and communication skills, as well as a greater understanding and appreciation of diversity. We are incredibly proud of how our Year 3 children have represented our school and values during these visits.
This has been a fantastic experience for all involved, and we look forward to continuing to build on these connections in the future. 🤝

This week, the children in Key Stage 2 were lucky to receive a visit from Lancashire Cricket club. The children started the day with an assembly and then spent time with a cricket coach who spent the day teaching the children how to play cricket - a game some children have never played. A great opportunity.

During the season of Lent, we always engage in “Almsgiving” and find ways of giving to those less fortunate. St Joesph’s Lent appeal is a perfect way to get involved and this year we have raised money by hosting a spelling challenge using our new outdoor orienteering course. We challenged the children to find as many words as they could from hidden prompts.The children loved it !
