What a great afternoon we had going to Ashton Hall watching an Orchestra playing different instruments pretending to be different animals. We all enjoyed it!

What a busy time Year 6 are having in their last half-term!

There's transition work, transition days, catch-up swimming, Refugee Week, microbit computers, History & Geography fieldwork, HRE and electronic art...and that was just Thursday!

And, of course, rehearsals for our end of year…

Year 4 are busy preparing for the concert they are singing in on Saturday 27th June at Lancaster Town Hall. They sound amazing! The title of the concert is 'Rhythm of Life' and the children in Year 4 are joining with other local choirs to sing a range of uplifting and inspirational songs. You can…

We have been reading George’s Secret Key to the Universe by Lucy and Stephen Hawking. We enjoyed the book so much that we were actually sad when we finished it! This poem was inspired by the story.

We looked at a range of different leaflets today. The children loved looking at the pictures, different writing and all the bold colours used. All children used leaflets as inspiration for their own. There was a fabulous buzz in the classroom today.

This half term, Year 1 are learning about the English sculpture Henry Moore. Today, we have looked at some examples of his work and discussed the term ‘abstract’. The children have spent time exploring what they can do with a small piece of playdough; pinch, roll, pull, push, twist.

Starting on the banks of the River Nile, Year 6 went on an exciting adventure through Ancient Egypt training to be a scribe. Whilst they were there, they were chosen to go on a very special mission through the Underworld but were met with a few obstacles along the way!

We kick started our RE learning this term with some group work. We worked in groups to recreate the life of Moses, to help us remember it we created freeze frames of his life.

Year 2 had a fabulous time using Press Play to tell the story of ‘The Seaside.’ Whilst at the seaside we played with our dog Pickles, collected shells, ate ice cream and played in the water. It was such a good way for the children to immerse themselves in a text. Laughter and excitement filled the…

This week, Year 1 had the exciting chance to take part in an immersive audio learning experience. Everyone wore their own headphones and listened to a story which required us to act out parts of the story and answer questions. Our story included Wizard Sillystuff who kept doing to wrong magic…

The children in Year 4 enjoyed an Olympics Day at Salt Ayre today. In three teams, they took part in competitions for dodgeball, indoor cricket and tri-golf. It was a great opportunity to meet and play against children from many other local schools. Well done, Year 4!
