After looking at the designs and fashion of Vivienne Westwood, Year 6 have been creating their own designs. Adapting and embellishing a plain white T-shirt has allowed their creative ideas to flow. Coming soon will be a Year 6 fashion show...watch this space!!

Year 4 were visited by Winifred, the Anglo Saxon today!

We learnt so much - the story of Beowulf, how the Anglo Saxons settled on the land, their houses and settlements, what they ate and how they lived. The children were also able to inspect artefacts and work out how they were made and what…

Today in science, Year 4 have been exploring how sound vibrations can be made. We used peppercorns on a drum to see the vibrations made, and felt the vibrations from a cymbal.

Watch this HERE and HERE

Having tasted different ingredients, we now selected the ones we liked best to each make a pasta sauce. Then came the fun bit...eating it! A great way to end the week.

Following up on our work on food chains, Year 4 made Top Trump cards for producer, predators and prey. It was great fun to create the cards and even more fun to play afterwards!

Year 5 are having a fab time on their first day and went down to the lake near Castlerigg to test out their boat-building skills. Did they float? We will wait to find out!!

Today, Year 4 tasted a range of different foods that might be included in a pasta sauce...which we will be making in a few weeks time! Anchovies and olives where the most controversial, however several children found out they enjoyed a range of foods they hadn't had before.

Today, Year 4 dodged the rain and visited Lancaster City Museum and the Roman Ruins below the Castle to back up our history work this term.

In the museum, the children really explored the Romans exhibits to complete a quiz, then at the ruins, they sketched the Bath House, thought about how it…

A puzzle to solve in science!

Could we recognise which animal was which by looking just at their skulls and the sort of teeth they have? Quite tricky!!

In Science, we were investigating how our bodies absorb certain parts of our food and get rid of waste! We did this by creating a 'stomach' and passing it through 'intestines'. (Good thing it was only Cola and bread!!) Messy but good fun!
