There were a few tired children this morning over breakfast after a busy day yesterday, but they soon livened up once they got started on more activities. Miss Huddleston told me that the children are all behaving brilliantly and supporting each other to overcome their own personal challenges. It…

Today in Year 2 we have been using our senses and talking about the body parts linked to each sense. We tasted different foods, tried to guess what was in each smell pot, listened to some sounds and tried to identify them and built Lego towers while blindfolded. 

Tuesday has been an amazing day for us all at Lockerbie, in more ways than one. The weather has been stunning -warm sunshine and blue skies all day (so good in fact that the kitchen staff decided to arrange a barbecue for our evening meal), the activities have been great and children have had such…

Everyone slept well and had a good breakfast. The sun is shining for the first activities of the day.

Miss Huddleston will be busy during the day supervising the activities and joining in. She will mainly blog in the evening once the children are settled in bed, so watch out for lots of…

Year 6 have made a great start to their week at Lockerbie Manor. We arrived at 2.30pm and have had an action-packed afternoon and evening of archery, climbing, abseiling, blind trail and negotiating a very muddy obstacle course. We have lots more to look forward to in the days to come!

They have arrived!! The Year 6s are all ready for a week of teamwork, excitement, adventurous activities and lots of sleep (so Miss Huddleston hopes!!). More photos to come throughout the week.

What a brilliant couple of days we have had settling into Y1. Here are just a few photos to show what we have been up to. 
 

In PE we will be learning lots of playground games from the past.  Here we are playing ‘stuck in the mud’.  We ran and dodged so quickly, Mrs Cross struggled to get a good picture of us!!  She’ll keep trying so watch this space for better shots in the coming…

On Tuesday we had a fantastic session with the Rock Kidz group. We danced along to songs about how good it is to be us. On Wednesday Nicola led our first Diddi dance session. We love moving to music.

Today in Science, we kicked off the year with a short unit (some might say ‘micro-unit’) where we learn all about those tiny living organisms that can be found absolutely anywhere and everywhere- microorganisms!

We started off the lesson by learning the different types, names, shapes and sizes…

Here we are enjoying ‘Rock Kids’ in the hall.  We learnt all about believing in ourselves!  Our favourite new phrase is YASBA.  This stands for “You’re Awesome So Be Awesome”!!!
