Year 6 have begun their unit on athletics this half term. We began by recording a baseline - measuring how good we are at jumping, running and throwing. Over the next few weeks we will improve our techniques in each of these areas.

A big thank you to the Gardening Club particularly Mr Long, Mrs Nemeth and Mr Mellor for planting potatoes with the class. We are looking forward to watching the plants grow and then digging up the buried treasure later in the summer term.

Over the last few weeks we have been reading and writing plays. We have looked at the story of ‘Robin Hood and the Chocolate Cake’ and turned it into a play script. Today, we have looked at some familiar nursery rhymes and have acted them out in groups.

Mrs Todd Bryce told us the story of the “Very Hungry Caterpillar”

we used the knitted props that the soroptomists brought us. We talked about our favourite foods and what happens when you eat too much.

We enjoyed practicing our fundamental movement skills this afternoon. We spoke about the importance of being active each day. 
Thank you to the students at University of Cumbria for being great hosts! 

Thank you to one of our lovely Governor, Mrs Quainoo, who organised for our Enormous Turnip Story Sack to be made and presented to us alongside some other members of the Soroptomists group. We thoroughly enjoyed it. 
We will enjoy retelling the story using the characters and cannot wait to create…

A great big thank you to the students at the University of Cumbria for organising a fabulous sports festival for our Y1 and Y2 children.  Not only did the children have a great time, precious funds were also raised for St John’s hospice.  If you would like to contribute to this fundraising, please…

Cricket skills.

Football skills. 

One of the events was a mini obstacle course.

Year 4 have started their new Art topic based on the Spanish artist Antoni Gaudi. These are some of our initial drawings. We will be making collages next.

Today we were practising our overarm throwing. Everyone tried really hard and were very enthusiastic.

Watchout for Xavier and Kian playing cricket for England in the future. Their throwing skills are amazing!
