On Monday we loved welcoming the year 2s into middle school ready to be our new year 3s! The current year 3 were super helpful with showing them what we do in middle school and supporting them.
We also got to welcome our newest friend, Gracie!

We did maths, English, PE and geography.

Today the children in Y5/6 explored how the early followers of Jesus put their faith into action. We read three stories from the Acts of the Apostles which showed different ways in which they showed their faith in God. The children discussed these events and put them into their own role plays and…

We've loved the author visits we've had at our school during the past couple of years organised by Elaine Silverwood so this year we decided to take our Year 6 leavers to her bookshop Book Bean and Ice Cream in Kirkham in order for them to select their own book choices for their end of year…

Monday was our ‘Stay and Play’ day for our new Reception starters and for a new little Year 1! We absolutely loved having them for the day and can’t wait for them to return! 

Today the Year 4s and 5s got a taste of things to come as they spent the day being the new Year 5/6. They completed a poetry activity and a maths activity in the morning and then did some art, archery and a circle time session in the afternoon. The class worked really well together and produced…

Once we had our facts, children split into…

Last Friday, the children were treated to an artsy afternoon with Mrs Allen! They got to use mixed media to create a piece based upon the Lake District. This included doing bubble painting, soft and oil pastels, watercolours and collage. They had some fantastic results.

As you will know,…

Lower School absolutely loved displaying their final creation and loved taking them on an adventure around school! 
 

We are so proud of their creativity and teamwork!

The Year 5 and 6s have worked so hard these past few weeks to learn and rehearse their end of year play-Frankie & Me. It’s all coming together now and we had our first audience today-Corey! He smiled and laughed his way through the performance and gave it 9/10 at the end. We can’t wait to perform…

This morning the Upper School class took part in a debate to decide who was responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The children were already in two groups- the feuding families-the Montagues and the Capulets and they had already prepared their arguments last week. Now all they had to do…

Over the last few weeks, Lower School has been thoroughly enjoying our Robots topic! 
 

The Year 1’s and Reception have been loving reading ‘No-Bot…The Robot With No Bottom!’ and we have all enjoyed exploring short stories and animations featuring robots.

Lower School have also enjoyed…
