There was great excitement this afternoon in Year 6 as everyone signed into our Chromebooks for the first time and used them in our art lesson. We used them to research three artists, from different periods of history, who used the medium of drawing in their work: Michaelangelo, Edward Ardizzone…

Yesterday as part of PSHE Mrs Ventress set us a challenge.  We had to build a bridge using limited time and materials, which fitted a specific brief. We worked in teams and we’re judged not only on how many toy cars our finished bridge would hold but also our teamwork skills. Was the winning team…

Debbie and Abbie came to teach us about the life journey of St.Paul, who our school is named after. We found out how meeting God changed the direction of his life completely. We saw how his life journey contained trials, persecution and triumphs and looked at how he was able to overcome these with…

Our adventure at Lockerbie finished on a “high” today, with all groups tackling the climbing wall and the abseil tower. We were able to use the skills we learnt and our experiences from crate stacking and high ropes to help us in these final challenges. Following a final meal, we set off home and…

We have had another day of glorious weather and exciting activities. Many of us have been up in the woods learning survival skills, as well as tackling some very tricky initiative problems, where we had to work in a team to solve a variety of puzzles. We also tried out our fencing skills and had…

We’ve had another sunny day (at least until tea time anyway). Every group had a go at the high ropes course, with everyone showing great determination and resilience. Orienteering, blind trail and survival skills were enjoyed by various groups during the rest of the day. We also tried out a new…

The sun shone for us all day today. We started the day by sampling our first Lockerbie breakfast of the week, before spending the whole morning on the lake, learning to canoe and kayak. Some of us were in the water again in the afternoon, working together as a team to build a raft to carry the…

Year 6 arrived safely at Lockerbie Manor this afternoon and got straight into some great activities: archery, low ropes, crate stacking and even raft-building. Everyone had a great time - especially those who got soaking wet even before tea time!

Year 6 have been busy reading over the summer holidays. Today we wrote reviews, which are now on display in the library for everyone to read. 

Year 6 were extremely fortunate with the weather today for their geography field trip to the Lake District.

We set off early in the morning and headed for Ambleside, where we walked up to Todd Crag. At the top we had a spectacular view of Windermere and the surrounding fells, but could see the…

Well done to all the Year 6 children for their exceptional performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest last night. What a testament to their teamwork and resilience in putting on such a great performance in such a short period of time. The acting was great and the singing, including a number of…

Having won the district dodgeball competition at the Salt Ayre Sports Festival in May, a team of 8 boys travelled to Blackpool as part of "Team Lancaster" to represent the area at the Lancashire School Games in Stanley Park. The dodgeball tournament was designed to be a participation event, so we…
