Brine Leas School opens doors for annual Activity Day

Brine Leas School in Nantwich opened its doors to around 230 primary school pupils for its annual ‘Activity Day’.

The youngsters were actively involved in a range of practical activities – from making chocolate creatures to designing and building Lego robots.

They developed CSI skills in the laboratory, launched rockets with the help of technology staff; learned new game skills in the Sports Hall and exhausted themselves with Irish folk dances.

These were some of the workshops on offer to introduce them to the staff and facilities available at a large secondary school.

Brine Leas headteacher Andrew Cliffe said: “It was a pleasure to see so many young students smiling and enjoying themselves.”

They will have a further opportunity to visit the school on Wednesday October 10 when the school opens its doors to the public for the annual OPEN DAY.

There will be guided tours between 9.10am and noon and in the evening from 6.30 to 8.30pm.

Visitors will view all facilities and talk to both staff and students.

Andrew Cliffe will address visitors at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.

Students, parents and anyone from the community are welcome.
