Class of 2014

Year 5 enjoyed a day of adventure at Beacon Fell this week. We have been reading Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Murpurgo, so we imagined that we had been stranded on Beacon Fell, just like Michael had been washed up on the shores of Kensuke's island. First we explored the fell to find the best place…

Year 5 have been studying the local area in their history and geography lessons recently. To round off their work, they spent this afternoon walking into Lancaster from school, searching out some of the oldest buildings in Scotforth and linking them to some of the important characters they have…

Year 5 have had the first day of their Playleaders training today. They have been learning how to lead activities with the infants at playtime. They have devised games which they have then learnt to explain to other children and supervise. Their training continues next Wednesday.

Mr Weston came in this afternoon to explain why different parts of the Bible were originally written in Hebrew and Greek. He showed us how to write our names in both Hebrew and Greek. Hebrew was especially difficult as it is written from right to left and doesn't use familiar letters. He also…

We had a fantastic day at Leighton Moss learning about habitats, food chains and exploring the reserve following maps.
