On Friday, 27th May, the RE and Worship ambassadors went to Lancaster University to listen to a discussion on racial equality and the church led by Anderson Jeremiah and Stephen Cottrell (Archbishop of York). The children listened to a short talk and then could ask questions. It was a really…

This morning in Year 5 we have recreated the journey of our breakfast through the digestive system. It was messy but fun for most of us. A few of us were a little squeamish and by the time we reached the end we couldn’t even look. 

Year 4 have moved on with their Gaudi topic. The children have made animal collages using his Trencadis technique.

We’ve also been working hard on our exhibit for the Art exhibition but that’s a secret for now!

We were using vocab such as long, longer, tall, taller, longest and tallest today to compare lengths and heights of objects. We enjoyed exploring the classroom. 
 

We made different paths whilst counting in different multiples. We were counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We then jumped on the paths at different starting numbers. 

We enjoyed finding all the different phonic sounds around the playground. We read the sound and then had to come up with a word. We thought of lots of words!!

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.
