This week Year 6 had their trip to the Lake District. 
We started with our bus trip to the head of the Orrest Trail. After a slow ascent we made it to the view point where we could say across Lake Windermere. On our way up we stopped and had a look at a money tree, and some brilliant carved…

Today in Y6 we went on our slave trade and castle trip. 
We started off with a walk down to Lancaster Maritime Museum where we met our guide, Paul. He showed us monuments and key areas of Lancaster that were linked to the slave trade. It was a very eye opening experience. 
We then walked up the…

Today was our Preston trip 2026! 
 

We started the day with a 45 minute walk to the train station where we were met by a lovely conductor who showed us how to depart a train and let us help him with the train before ours. After a quick train to Preston we then walked to the County Hall where…

This week we’ve had a lot of fun using the new kitchen to bake cakes and treats. Thank you to anyone who donated their own desserts! We then sold our creations after school to raise money for Scot4All. We hope you enjoyed them! 
 

All left over cakes will be out on Friday after school as…

Well done to the brilliant Year 6s who have worked so hard during SATs week, this week. Today marked the last test so we celebrated with rounders and football at the field (cut short by the very British weather!), lots of tasty treats and finally getting our leavers hoodies! 
Well…

To help decorate our school for multicultural week we researched flags from around the world and chose one to draw ourselves.

As part of multicultural week we had a look at Mexico. 
We spoke about culture, food and music. 
We made guacamole to eat with tortilla chips. It was a bigger hit than the Greek salad!

We tried following an African dancing video as well as finding out more about the continent of Africa. 
In groups we then chose countries to research, we chose: Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Madagascar and Ghana. 
We created posters and presented them to the rest of the class.

To start Multicultural week we looked at Greece. 
We made Greek salad (with mixed reviews!) and looked at the evil eye tradition, by making our own evil eye charms out of salt dough.

In our geography lessons we have been looking at the UK and our local area. 
 

After a very warm walk to Williamson’s Park, we did some sketch drawings from the Ashton Memorial and spoke about human and physical features of Lancaster. 
We then had a walk around Friend’s Garden and had our…

Today we were lucky enough to have a taster cricket session. We practiced our batting skills as well as our fielding skills. 
 

Until the end of the year, our geography topic is the UK. Within this we will be practicing our map reading skills. Today we went outside to confirm our knowledge of an 8 point compass. We had a leader read aloud compass points and we had to throw the beanbag in the correct hula hoop.
