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…

Today we got active in our learning. We did a wall quiz where we had to hunt for the answers to some key questions about microbes. We found out the 3 main groups, their typical features and how they can be classified. We discovered various ways in which microbes can be useful or cause us harm and…

Today we re-enacted the Seder meal, which has been celebrated by Jews for thousands of years. Each food on the Seder plate is symbolic and is there to remind the Jews of their bitter suffering as slaves in Egypt and of how God rescued them.  Some of the food we enjoyed, but some items are…

For a second time this week, Year 6 have been sharing some festive joy with the elderly residents of Scotforth. This afternoon, we visited Ashton Manor, where we sang lots of carols for the residents, then had time for a snack and a chat with many of them. The residents loved our singing and some…

After several weeks of work, Year 6 have finally finished their multi-layer printing project, just in time to turn them into their Christmas cards.

The Year 6 children joined Mr and Mrs Weatherill for a service in Churnside House this afternoon. They sang numerous carols beautifully. At the end of the service the children spent some time talking to the residents.
