Gerard Gallagher RIP

In Loving Memory of Gerard Gallagher


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerry, a beloved caretaker of Kirkby CE Primary School who touched the lives of children, staff, and the entire school community for 13 years. Gerry passed away peacefully on 30th December, surrounded by his loved ones.


Known for his unwavering dedication, kindness, and dry sense of humour, Gerry was more than just a caretaker; he was a pillar of the school. Whether it was ensuring the classrooms were ready, fixing anything in need of repair, bathing in extremely hot custard (don’t ask!) or having his head shaved for charity Gerry certainly lit up the school.


Beyond the daily tasks, Gerry was a mentor to many children, a friend to staff, and a steadfast presence who went above and beyond to ensure the school felt like a second home to all.


Gerry will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his incredible heart, unwavering kindness, dry sense of humour and lasting impact on the lives of all he encountered.


Mary his wife, daughters Louisa and Rebecca and family will take comfort in knowing he left a legacy of smiles, laughter, and community spirit.


Rest in Peace, Gerry!

Hi Class One

I hope you can all remember the phase 3 sounds we learned in phonics.  Have a look at them and impress your family.

Do you remember the ‘Obb and Bob’ game that we played in class?

Well you can play it at home. Go to

 https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/

It’s called ‘Picnic on Pluto’ under the title ‘popular resources’

Choose 'phase 3' and pick a different sound each time you play.

You could write down all the sounds you’ve had a go at and maybe some real and nonsense words with each sound.

As a challenge, have a go at some of the phase 5 sounds which we have started to learn.

Also have a go at some of the other games.

I hope you enjoy them.

Have fun

Mrs Dwyer xx
