Past Events
The Book Fair visits St. Jude’s
Our families enjoyed spending some time looking at the books at the Book Fair and buying new books for the children to enjoy at home.
National Poetry Day
On National Poetry Day, we were lucky enough to have Matt Goodfellow, a poet, come to visit our school and work with each class. We were all very excited for him to visit our school. You can follow him on Twitter at Poet@EarlyTrain.
World Book Day
World Book Day is a celebration of reading, authors, illustrators and books. It is a worldwide celebration of books and reading, marked by over 100 countries all over the world.
Last year we celebrated by asking children to dress up as their favourite book character and bring to school their favourite book. We had reading activities which took place throughout the day and there were prizes for the most original outfits. All children were given a voucher to exchange for a book.

Reception had a visitor from Wigan Library Services, they learned about what the local libraries have to offer and found out how to become a member of a library. The children also enjoyed joining in with fun, interactive stories.
Making potions 🧪❤️⭐️
04-11-2024
This morning in preschool we have been reading one of our termly stories “Meg and Mog” and in the story they made a potion, so preschool decided what an amazing idea it would be to make our own potion. We worked together to mix, pour and stir our amazing potion. We will keep checking our potion to see how it changes from a liquid to a solid. We look forward to updating you with our marvellous creations. ❤️
Story time with Mr Wilson. 📚 🐻 ❤️

Mr Wilson came to preschool and he brought one of his favourite stories with him, We’re Going On a Bear Hunt 🐻. The children were so excited, we thought we need to document this special moment in our floor book. ❤️
Book Fair

Thank you to everyone who has come along to support our school book fair so far! A lot of books have been sold already but there’s still one last chance to come along tomorrow and pick up an exciting new book to enjoy!
