What a fun day we have had today! First, we had an assembly about the Queen and the Commonwealth and then we went to the field to welcome the baton to our school. We took part in lots of games linked to the Commonwealth countries and had our lunch all together on the field. In the afternoon, we…

Yesterday Emma Williams visited Year 4. She came to lead us in some singing activities. Unfortunately the Lancaster Music festival is not taking place this year so this was an alternative activity for the children. We will be performing the songs to the rest of the school when we have practised a…

Today we had a jampacked, exciting and busy day of learning at Lancaster Castle and the Maritime Museum.  We  listened to stories about the castle's history (some of them a bit gory!), visited the Roman remains, became archaeological detectives, enjoyed Viking legends, dressed up as Norse…

On Friday, 27th May, the RE and Worship ambassadors went to Lancaster University to listen to a discussion on racial equality and the church led by Anderson Jeremiah and Stephen Cottrell (Archbishop of York). The children listened to a short talk and then could ask questions. It was a really…

This morning in Year 5 we have recreated the journey of our breakfast through the digestive system. It was messy but fun for most of us. A few of us were a little squeamish and by the time we reached the end we couldn’t even look. 

Year 4 have moved on with their Gaudi topic. The children have made animal collages using his Trencadis technique.

We’ve also been working hard on our exhibit for the Art exhibition but that’s a secret for now!

We were using vocab such as long, longer, tall, taller, longest and tallest today to compare lengths and heights of objects. We enjoyed exploring the classroom. 
 

We made different paths whilst counting in different multiples. We were counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We then jumped on the paths at different starting numbers. 

We enjoyed finding all the different phonic sounds around the playground. We read the sound and then had to come up with a word. We thought of lots of words!! 

 

Today in Year 5 we took advantage of the lovely weather to take our sketchbooks outside and look for patterns in nature. Using sketching pencils we drew detailed pictures of leaves, flowers, trees and stones.

Today, we have been learning outside in maths and have been angle detectives. First, we made different angles using our bodies, then we took photos of acute, obtuse and right angles in our environment. After that, we used sticks and twigs to make our own shapes and pictures and labelled each…

Today, Year 6 imaged themselves in the Australian outback, as we went to Dorrington Woods to do some “bark” painting. Australian Aborigines would paint designs on sheets of bark to help them remember stories or communicate a message. We replicated this idea using sheets of plywood to paint on, but…
