• Rushcroft's Got Talent

  Thu 20 Jul 2017 Mr Coyle

  It wouldn't be the end of the school year without our annual talent show, Rushcroft's Got Talent. The children have spent the past fortnight practising and auditioning until we narrowed it down to two entries from each class.

   

  The show itself was amazing. We were treated to super singing, football skills, thunderous drumming, guitar playing, Harry Potter spells, cartwheels galore and some very groovy dance moves.

   

  We're immensely proud of everybody who made it through but a particular well done to our winners:

   

  Foundation Stage/Key Stage One Winner:

  Erin, Leoni, Hannah & Lucia (dancing to Little Mix)

   

  Key Stage Two Joint Winners:

  Mac Walsh (singing "Castle on the Hill")

  Lexi, Olivia & Evie (The Unicorn Poppers)

  

• Engineering Competition

  Fri 07 Jul 2017 Mr Coyle

  At the turn of the year, the whole school entered an engineering competition where children were asked to invent something to overcome a problem. This was a competition open to all schools in the north-west so competition was fierce. We are delighted to announce that Rushcroft had an overall winner in Year 3 and an overall winner in Year 6.  We also had a runner-up in Year 4. Our two winners won two magnificent trophies and our runner-up was given a special certificate. We also had lots of children who were shortlisted and whose work has been put on display as part of a public exhibition at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Well done everyone!

   

  Update: we have been sent more pictures of the awards ceremony which can be seen at the link below:
