The pupils were beautifully behaved and had a great time building 'Leonardo's Dome' and getting inside the human sized bubble. "My favourite part was the Leonardo's Dome and the bubbles where we had to pull the rope and it would make a bubble," said Saachi. Mollie R-P said, "My favourite was when me and my friend went in a massive bubble and when you could only look in a mirror to draw a fish and star!" "I really liked the kaleidoscope and the bubbles. I also enjoyed the puzzles and creating the dome," added Joe K. ### Slideshow, please scroll>> [Maths](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/maths) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Trips](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/trips) [ GCSE Results Day - 24 August 2023](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-07-12-gcse-results-day-24-august-2023) [Year 9 help select Lancashire Book of the Year at UCLan final ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-07-14-year-9-help-select-lancashire-book-of-the-year-at-uclan-final) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
