Year 6 were  excited to be able to try wheelchair basketball again. The games were fast and furious, with some great teamwork and tactics being displayed. Thank you toLancaster Bulldogs for such a fun session.

The big day had finally arrived! After weeks of watching our caterpillars grow larger, build their cocoons and finally metamorphose into beautiful and amazing butterflies, it was time to set them free. To be honest, they weren’t in a great hurry to leave but by the end of the day all had flown…

Today, we enjoyed spotting the features of a plant or tree.  We discussed the stem, leaves, root and flowers. We explored what they looked like on plants in our garden. 
We also discussed features of a tree e.g. trunk, branch, crown, flowers and roots. We visited the Horse-Chestnut tree and we…

Four of our School Councillors attended the Mayor Making Ceremony at Lancaster Town Hall today. It was really interesting to find out what a City Council Meeting is like and also find out more about the new Mayor - Joyce Pritchard. The children represented the school brilliantly.

This week we have started to make our pieces for the art exhibition. Our chosen commonwealth country is Nigeria. Today we made jewellery using the colours of the Nigerian flag. You are welcome to come into school on the 9th of June to see art work from across the school and celebrate the platinum…

Today in Science in Year 3 we have been learning about how insects help to pollinate flowers and create seeds and new plants. 
Using paint or cheesy wotsits as pollen we were bees, moving from flower to flower. Our sticky fingers left a trail showing us the movement of the pollen grains.

Our caterpillars have reached the end of their long journey and are just beginning to emerge from their chrysalides as fully formed butterflies. This example of complete metamorphosis has been thrilling to watch. It would have been amazing to actually see this huge change inside the chrysalis but…

Did you know that an egg shell has a similar make up to the enamel on our teeth? We have set up an investigation using eggs to see which liquid will damage the shell the most. Each group could choose which liquid they put their eggs into such as coke, orange juice, water, vinegar, tea or coffee.…

Year 6 braved the wind this morning when we ventured down to the field for our history lesson. We wanted to create a timeline showing the development of the city of Lancaster, from its Roman origins to the twentieth century.  Our timeline was far too long to fit into the classroom, but we had…

The children had a great time catching and throwing and completing an obstacle course today. A big thank you to the students for taking the lesson and the medals went down a storm.

After a full morning of SATs, Year 6 ventured into the woods this afternoon for some fresh air, exercise and maths! We worked with a partner, following and solving a trail of maths problems around the woods.

Today we were joined by Mrs Muckalt to learn more about using effective sequences in gym. We used counter balances and counter tension balances as well as including jumps and different ways of travelling. We had great fun!
