On Friday 8th March, Year 6 took part in an acting workshop with professional actors following the whole school performance of Oliver. The performance was great fun and we learnt a lot from meeting the actors and getting to ask them questions afterwards.

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.

We had a wonderful visit from Fred the tortoise today. We found out some amazing facts and we didn’t realise how quick tortoises could move! We looked at the features of a tortoise e.g his beak, his claws and his amazing shell. 

Thank you to the parents who came to read to our children today. We thoroughly enjoyed it !

Coach Louise taught Year 4 a dance and we performed it to the rest of the school.

We had a fantastic Egyptian Day. Our costumes were amazing and we had lots of fun making Egyptian bread, playing games and becoming mummies! 

We have carried out a variety of investigations to understand and learn more about friction.

Today we talked about it being a special day and looked inside Mrs Atkinson's shopping bag. She had flour, eggs, milk and fruit. We chatted about how we are getting ready for Easter and learnt a new pancake song,

Mix a pancake,

Stir a pancake,

Pop it in a pan.

Fry the pancake,

Toss…

Year 4 and 5 girls attended a football morning at the University of Cumbria. They learnt new skills and played some matches. 

Yesterday, we had a special visitor in our class.....an African Land Snail! We looked at what it ate, it’s habitat and  it’s shell. We learnt lots of facts and thought of lots of questions.
