Year 4 learned all about rivers earlier in the year, but today they had the chance to take a journey down the River Lune, from its source at Newbiggin-on-Lune in Cumbria all the way down to the estuary beyond Glasson Dock. We started off at St. Helen's Well - the source of the Lune - just outside…

We have had a great day. We have been learning how to ride a bike and learning lots of new skills. 

In Maths, we have been identifying and making polygons. First, we sorted different shapes into regular and irregular polygons. Then we were set the challenge of using six equilateral triangles to create different polygons. 

The past few weeks we have been learning all about going on a bear hunt. We have been on our own bear hunt and a sensory walk with each part. We have made creative work for each part of the story. We have also done some amazing writing and we included some super wow words. 

Well done to our netball team, who took part in the Lancaster schools' netball tournament at Moorside School on Monday afternoon. They played really well as a team, winning four of their matches and drawing two. They narrowly took the win and came back with the trophy. Well done to you…

This week we have heard the story of “Rosie’s Walk.” In Nursery we use the hall each week and this week we linked our movements to how Rosie the hen moved. We love the space to run about.

We have had lots of fun learning to play crown green bowls with Coach Dan. At the start of the afternoon we struggled to roll the bowls onto the target but by the end we had improved so much. We played lots of mini tournaments that focused on our technique and distance.

We tested the strength, flexibility, stretchiness and, most importantly, if it was waterproof.

Year 3 were delighted to welcome both Jana’s mum and Maha’s mum into their class today. The mums gave us a presentation about the 5 Pillars of Islam - the rules which are central to the Muslim faith. Jana and Maha were also very happy to share their faith. The rest of the class then had the…

In English we are reading the wonderful book, ‘The Street Beneath My Feet’ by Charlotte Guillain and writing our own explanation text about what can be found underground.  We have learnt about insects, burrowing animals, different types of rocks and mineral, the sewers (yuck!) and beautiful rock…
