From circuits to Tanzi TV, netball to gymnastics - Year 6 have had such a busy few weeks loving their sport and learning new skills in PE....check them out!

Today we visited Lancaster Castle as part of our topic on local history and geography. We went on a tour and found out about how the castle has changed use over time. We were amazed that some parts of the castle are over 800 years old. We had a great morning, despite the rain!

Year 4 spent the afternoon exploring how different materials work as a soundproof lining for blocking loud music - maybe useful for when they are teenagers for their bedrooms!!

The same cereal boxes were used but then lined with a range of different materials. Loud music (on my phone!) was…

Year 5 enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Dukes theatre this morning to watch their Christmas pantomime, A Christmas Carol. Because we have been studying 'A Christmas Carol' this half term, the children were able to spot similarities and differences between the pantomime, the book and film extracts…

For the last 2 weeks we have been learning our words and songs for our Nativity play. Today was our dress rehearsal and we really impressed Mrs Grierson who was very proud of us all. We even managed to pass the microphone from one person to another so everyone could hear what we were saying.

We have really enjoyed finding lots of descriptive vocabulary to write weather poems.

Some of Year 6 popped up to Christchurch to decorate a tree as part of their Christmas Tree Festival - they took with them messages of peace from each year to share peace and joy from our school throughout the world.

To give Year 6 a treat after their Bushtucker Trials, we all enjoyed testing, comparing, designing and making our own chocolate bars!

As you can see, everybody was very busy making their perfect treats!

Year 6 tested their Survival Skills on Wednesday - taking a brilliant Bushtucker Trial - with snails, crickets, brussels sprouts and cockles  all to taste, it went down a real treat!

Today we had a very cold walk up to the park! We got there and saw it was very frosty but this didn't stop us having a great time! Despite a few slips, we had so much fun playing pirates on the pirate ship, climbing, sliding and exploring all of the different things to do there! This trip help our…

Today in science, Year 4 explored how pitch is created and how sound vibrations change in frequency. We then made different kinds of pitched instruments. A noisy but fun lesson!
