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 started our unit on ‘Living things and their Habitats’. We worked in small groups to sort living things into different categories and discussed the life processes that living things need to happen to be able to survive.

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. 

What an exciting day we have had in Year 3! We have been investigating pneumatics and planning our moving toys and today was the day when we got very busy making (and very busy making a mess in the classroom!). We all had to work really hard and show lots of perseverance as things didn’t always go…

In Maths, we have been identifying and making polygons. First, we sorted different shapes into regular and irregular polygons. Then we were set the challenge of using six equilateral triangles to create different polygons. 

The past few weeks we have been learning all about going on a bear hunt. We have been on our own bear hunt and a sensory walk with each part. We have made creative work for each part of the story. We have also done some amazing writing and we included some super wow words. 

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…
