Today Year 5 started their training for the Sports Leader Award. We learnt how to organise small groups and play basic games. This training will continue next week. 

In literacy we have been reading traditional stories from around the world, mainly about how different animals got their distinguishing features. We have all planned and written our own versions of these.  We have also been looking at effective story telling techniques such as using gestures,…

Year 4 chose England as their Commonwealth country. We picked the North West artist L.S.Lowry and made matchstalk men, women, children, cats and dogs.

We love listening to stories in Nursery and acting them out. Everyone wanted to be Handa today and try to carry a basket of fruit on their head. We are holding on with just one hand and keeping an eye out for cheeky, hungry animals.

We waved our flags as the baton went past. We were excited to walk to the field and join in the fun.

What a fabulous day! We have managed to squeeze in so much! An assembly with Mrs Boyle all about the Commonwealth Games, a procession with the Jubilee baton, sports linked to different Commonwealth countries, passing the baton to the next school at Williamson's Park, a picnic lunch on the field…

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!
