Year 6 had a great start to their final half term by visiting Morecambe Bay as part of their geography studies.

As well as finding out loads about the Bay, the children really loved playing on the empty sand!

What a busy first day back to school! As well as phonics and maths, we planted some plants in pots for our outdoor area. Each pot s linked to a different sense. We enjoyed getting messy with the soil and we think they look great outside. We're very excited for out strawberry plant to grow some…

We had an excellent day in our fairy tale costumes. We had some brilliant costumes from Peter Pan, Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood!

Poor Mr Tiger has had trouble sleeping recently because it's too light in the evenings. So, Year 1 made it our mission to make him an eye mask! We thought about the different materials we could use to make it, and discussed what properties a good eye mask has. We decided that it must be opaque,…

As part of learning to tell the time using digital and analogue clocks, we went outside and made an enormous clock and made the time. It helped a lot of the class to understand how we tell the time. Keep practicing Year 3!

Look at this wonderful Anglo-Saxon jewellery, made at home as part of this half term's project book tasks. It is great to see children putting so much effort into independent learning. Well done!
