We had fun getting into time order. Some of us had am times and others pm. We found it wasn’t as easy as we first thought. 

Year 6 had a long but interesting day today on their visit to County Hall. We began bright and early by walking down to the station and catching the train to Preston. As part of this term’s Citizenship activities, we spent the morning with Mr. Mynott, who took us on a tour of County Hall…

Two teams of Year 6 netballers went to Moorside School this afternoon to take part in the inter-schools netball tournament. We came second and fifth, but most importantly we showed great teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship.

On Tuesday we had a visit from Rocksteady. We had a whole school assembly where we learnt more about the instruments and what they can sound like, and afterwards a workshop where we created our own KS2 band!

In science, Mrs Dowson has been teaching us all about plants and their lifecycles and in geography we are learning all about plants of the rainforest and how they survive.  Today we drew and painted some hibiscus flowers using watercolour pencils.  We really enjoyed mixing colours and seeing how…

This term we are learning all about tropical rainforests and in our art lessons have been practising making shades and tints of colours. We have been mixing lots of different greens. We will be using these in a rainforest collage later this term.

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…
