We are learning about the water cycle so today we drew a flow chart on a food bag. We are going to put water into them and watch the different stages of the water cycle happen in the bag. 

This morning, we went for a walk around Scotforth to help us with our English and geography work over the next couple of weeks. 
 

We are learning all about the continents and oceans of the world, and starting to recognise some of the countries in each continent. Today we looked at some countries on the Equator, on the Arctic Circle and on the Antarctic Circle. We used atlases and found out that there are NO countries on the…

Year 6 were extremely fortunate with the weather today for their geography field trip to the Lake District.

We set off early in the morning and headed for Ambleside, where we walked up to Todd Crag. At the top we had a spectacular view of Windermere and the surrounding fells. We orientated our…

The rain held off long enough for the nursery children to explore all of the transport themed frames in the play area. We have worked hard to take turns and wait patiently.

What an amazing day we have had at Williamson Park. First we visited the Butterfly House where we learnt all about different animals that thrive in a rainforest environment. It was very warm and humid! We were able to meet a tortoise, a turtle and a cockroach. As you can see from our faces we had…

This week we have been talking about places we would like to visit and how we would get there. The children voted on their favourite place and wrote their name to show which they preferred. The top two places were soft play closely followed by swimming.

In science, Mrs Dowson has been teaching us all about plants and their lifecycles and in geography we are learning all about plants of the rainforest and how they survive.  Today we drew and painted some hibiscus flowers using watercolour pencils.  We really enjoyed mixing colours and seeing how…

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…

The sun shone for Year 6 today as they walked into Lancaster. Having learned about the development of the settlement of Lancaster in class, we followed our maps (both a modern OS map and a 1610 version) down the A6 before walking past White Cross then down Penny Street and Market Street up to the…

Today we started our new geography topic - Wonders of the Rainforest!  We listened to the sound of a tropical rainforest and drew what we could hear or imagine. We then wrote down our ideas about rainforests and what we already know.  We are looking forward to learning lots…

In English, we are reading the book "The Lost Words" which is full of poems about nature nouns like bluebells and conkers.  Today we investigated Dorrington Woods to find some nature nouns of our own.  Even on the walk there we were amazed by the way that plants and animals can thrive in really…
