Year 6 had a busy but enjoyable day learning about cultural diversity within our class. Several children gave presentations about the countries they originate from, and their experiences of living in those countries. We discovered several differences but also many similarities between the various…

To start Multicultural week we looked at Greece. 
We made Greek salad (with mixed reviews!) and looked at the evil eye tradition, by making our own evil eye charms out of salt dough.

We had a fantastic day today, visiting Williamson Park. We visited the Butterfly House where we learned about the life cycle of butterflies and also different habitats. It was a chance to experience the conditions in a rainforest, which is our current geography topic.  We also handled some of the…

We then had a walk around Friend’s Garden and had our…

This week we have been using knives to chop food. We have talked about safety and tried the bridge method to keep our fingers safe.

Today we had a great time trying out crown green bowling with Coach Dan. It was lovely and sunny and we really enjoyed trying a different sport. It wasn’t always easy to hit the target but we showed great perseverance and determination (even in the heat!).

A mixture of Y4s, 5s and 6s had a great day out today at the Lancaster cricket tournament at Westgate and Torrisholme Cricket Club. Although we didn’t win the tournament, we learnt a lot and had a fantastic team spirit. And the sun shone all day long!

Year 1 enjoyed Pedal and Scoot today. Thank you to all our parent helpers.

We had a wonderful time on our school trip today. We saw some amazing animals and imagined what it would be like to travel on a steam train in the past. 

Year 4 learned all about rivers earlier in the year, but today they had the chance to take a journey down the River Lune, from its source at Newbiggin-on-Lune in Cumbria all the way down to the estuary beyond Glasson Dock. We started off at St. Helen's Well - the source of the Lune - just outside…

We have had a great day. We have been learning how to ride a bike and learning lots of new skills.
