Our Y6 cricket team had a great day out in the Lancaster School Cricket Tournament today.  We played with fantastic enthusiasm, team work and effort.  In our group stage we won 3 of the 4 games and then played in the semi final against Moorside.  The semi was very tight and we narrowly lost. …

We went on a sensory walk today and brought our story to life. 

This week we have been talking about places we would like to visit and how we would get there. The children voted on their favourite place and wrote their name to show which they preferred. The top two places were soft play closely followed by swimming.

We enjoyed exploring about capacity in Y1. We predicted how many cups it takes to fill different containers.
