Year 6 went for a local history walk today. As we walked into town, we compared a modern OS map of Lancaster with one from 1610. We walked to the Castle via Penny Street and Church Street, both of which were built more than 400 years ago (appearing on the 1610 map). We learnt how the castle has…

Year 6 had a long but interesting day today on their visit to County Hall. We began bright and early by walking down to the station and catching the train to Preston. As part of Multi-cultural Week, we spent the morning with Mr. Mynott, who took us on a tour of County Hall before showing us into…

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…

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…

Well done to our netball team, who took part in the Lancaster schools' netball tournament at Moorside School on Monday afternoon. They played really well as a team, winning four of their matches and drawing two. They narrowly took the win and came back with the trophy. Well done to you…

Today was a big day for Year 6: the day we discovered the title of this year’s Shakespeare play. The story - The Tempest - was revealed through a morning of story telling and drama.

There was great excitement in Year 6 this afternoon, at the end of a busy and intense SATs week: whilst out enjoying the sun, our hoodies arrived!

Year 6 took advantage of the lovely weather once again, to get outside and practise their mathematical skills. They had to work out the answers to the word problems, then use their answer to help them locate the next question. Quite a challenge!

This afternoon, Y6 enjoyed a drama taster session. We could show off our speaking and acting skills.

Year 6 took advantage of the sunshine this morning, to revise their SPAG knowledge in preparation for next week’s SATs. As well as practising our grammar and punctuation, we also got to work on our map-reading skills and had some exercise at the same time!

We have been busy collecting labels from food and other products which have been bought by our families. Today we used Digimaps to help us calculate how far these products have had to be transported before reaching our local shops. Some had travelled thousands of miles, whereas others were sourced…

A team of 8 Year 5s and 6s went to the interschools tag rugby tournament this afternoon. After a tense couple of play-off matches, we ended up second in our pool. All our games were very close scores. Unfortunately we lost our semi- final match, but came 3rd overall. The whole team worked really…
