Y3&4 have had a fantastic day at Low Beckside Farm! We were very lucky to have been invited for a special visit from HRH Duchess of Edinburgh! The Duchess came to see the class taking part in some super outdoor geography activities, spoke to the children about their visit to the farm last year and chatted about their learning.
The children represented Flimby School brilliantly and their behaviour was commented on by members of the Ernest Cook Trust.
A huge thank you to The Ernest Cook Trust for inviting us for this special day!

🌱🚉 Our Vision and Values Come to Life! 🚉🌱
On Friday, we were delighted to welcome partners and members of our community into school to celebrate the launch of the new planter at Flimby Train Station.
This wonderful project showcases our school vision and values in a way that can be seen and enjoyed by everyone passing through the station. It is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when schools, businesses and the local community work together.
A huge thank you to Sellafield, Community Rail, Mitie, Gen2, and Northern for their support in bringing this project to life.
🌻 Be sure to pop by Flimby Station and take a look at the planter display for yourself – a lasting reminder of the values that inspire and guide us every day.

Some of our classes recently enjoyed a visit from Josh MacAlister MP who spent time reading some stories to the children. Y3&4 also had a great conversation with Josh regarding their balanced argument writing about whether they should be allowed a day off school to stay up and watch the World Cup!

🌟We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has given donations of items and funding towards our Play, Lead, Thrive over the year. The children have all absolutely loved their transformed playtimes, and it is so lovely to see them all playing, working in teams, getting creative, imaginative, building and enjoying time in the outdoors.
A special shout out to FOFS for funding our lovely new outdoor chalk board and creative resources, and to Holmen Board and Paper Workington for funding our lovely new water area and water play resources.🌟

☀️ EYFS Trip to Rookery Wood ☀️
Our EYFS children had a lovely time on their end-of-year trip to Rookery Wood on Friday. There was lots of fun, laughter and adventure throughout the day, and the children were a credit to our school.
The hot weather certainly made for a tiring day, and we had plenty of sleepy heads on the coach journey home! 😴🚌
Thank you to our volunteers who gave up their time to support the trip. Your help was greatly appreciated and helped make the day run so smoothly. We're not quite sure who enjoyed the day more – the children or the adults! 😊
A wonderful way to celebrate the end of a fantastic year in EYFS. 🌳☀️❤️

Y3&4 had a brilliant morning at the Active Cumbria Junior Parkrun taster event! They took part in the 2km run along Maryport prom, alongside 2 other local schools. All of the children were superstars and had big smiley faces the whole time! Well done everyone!
