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…

We experienced playing Wheelchair Basketball today. It gave us all an insight into the sport and how difficult it can be. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity. 
 

We had a very competitive (and noisy!) time playing wheelchair basketball with John from Lancaster Bulldogs today. I think you can see how much we all (including Mrs Redmayne) enjoyed it.

Year 4 had a fantastic time playing wheelchair basketball. Lots of goals were scored with lots of fun and laughter. It was a great opportunity for the children. Thank you very much.

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.
