In maths, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme. In this scheme there is a tortoise called Tiny who often gets maths problems wrong. This helps the children understand that mistakes are part of learning and that we should have a go even if we are unsure of the answer. The children were keen to see…

After enjoying wheelchair basketball, Year 6 focussed on learning some basic First Aid skills. We looked at what to do if we come across a casualty who is unresponsive. We learned how to check if they are breathing and, if they are, how to keep them safe by putting them into the recovery position.…

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 this term’s Citizenship activities, we spent the morning with Mr. Mynott, who took us on a tour of County Hall…

Today, Y4 walked to the Ashton Hall in Lancaster to see the new Mayor, Abi Mills, being elected. It was a privilege to be invited and we were asked to sing during the ceremony too. We sang beautifully and were given lots of compliments by the people there. 

This afternoon Y6 braved the rain to meet Rev. Rebecca at church. She gave us a very warm welcome and took us through the Eucharist order of service. She explained how and why Christians celebrate Eucharist and the significance of all the items involved. This has helped us to see more links…

Yesterday as part of PSHE Mrs Ventress set us a challenge.  We had to build a bridge using limited time and materials, which fitted a specific brief. We worked in teams and we’re judged not only on how many toy cars our finished bridge would hold but also our teamwork skills. Was the winning team…

Our adventure at Lockerbie finished on a “high” today, with all groups tackling the climbing wall and the abseil tower. We were able to use the skills we learnt and our experiences from crate stacking and high ropes to help us in these final challenges. Following a final meal, we set off home and…

We have had another day of glorious weather and exciting activities. Many of us have been up in the woods learning survival skills, as well as tackling some very tricky initiative problems, where we had to work in a team to solve a variety of puzzles. We also tried out our fencing skills and had…
