We had a great time on a World Book Day - dressing up, decorating potatoes and enjoying a book character trail with our buddies all around the school.

Well done to Year 6 for all their hard work this week and the fantastic things they made for the Christmas Fair.  As you can see, the products looked great and, unsurprisingly, we sold out of everything! We'll find out next week which team made the biggest…

All week in Year 6 we have been busy preparing for the Scotforth Christmas Market. We have been working in teams and each team has had a budget of £15.  As you can see, we have been very productive but we could not have done it without all the help given to us by parents, friends and…

Today we were visited by PC Atkinson and CPO David who talked to us about being safe online. They challenged us about keeping private and not contacting anyone who we do not know when we are online.

On Friday 9th November, Year 6 visited Clitheroe Castle to learn more about World War 1 and to take part in an act of remembrance. We heard poems written about the Great War and developed some ideas for our own which we wrote later. We also made a poppy wreath and took part in an army drill led by…

Recently we have been learning about the Lewis Carroll poem, Jabberwocky. In art, we tried to imagine what the fantasy world of the poem would look like and painted our idea for the setting.  We then used collage to create some of the animals in the poem.  See if you can work out which creatures…

On Friday 5th October, Scotforth held its very own Bake Off!  We had loads of entries and the standards were AMAZING!  In Year 6, we had a great time tasting and judging the different entries.  You can probably tell how much we enjoyed ourselves! Have a look at some of our creations.   A special…
