Today is National Poetry Day. Year 6 have been learning the classic poem, Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll this week. Many of the words are nonsense words, so we spent time working out what word classes they were as well as imagining what they could mean. Today we went to the woods to act out verses…

Today, we have been investigating what happens to different solids when they are heated up. We used bread, ice, butter, wax, chocolate, jelly and an egg. We observed the process of each material changing state. We also discussed whether the process was reversible or not.

This afternoon, Jane and Marcus from New Life Church in Lancaster came to lead our Key Stage 2 worship. They helped us to think more about our Christian value of justice. One of the challenges was to see who could scoop up some sweets onto a plate the quickest. The only problem was, each person…

Tuesday afternoon is Lego Club for Year 1 and Year 2. Take a look at their amazing creations.

We looked at using the sense of hearing to listen to sounds all around us.

We enjoyed going to Dorrington Woods and using our senses to look at different habitats. We even made some of our own minibeast habitats ! 

 

Year 6 had a lovely time in the woods this afternoon, working with Kate from the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire. She showed us how to use field guides to identify plants and trees in the woods. We learnt to identify a variety of trees including sycamores, oaks, rowans, and beech, as well as ivy…
