As part of our school celebration of the feast day of St Peter and St Paul we have been making art work inspired by the story of Peter’s denial of Jesus. Our finished work will be going on display in the Cathedral.

To end Refugee Week we all brought something to school that was precious to us. We were raising money for the charity East Meets West. Lots of us brought a special toy. Some of our toys were very keen to join in our learning!

Year 3 have been thinking about how we make and keep friendships. We made instructions for how to be a good friend.

We started well-being day with a fire safety talk from Lancaster Fire Service.

In DT we have been designing and making healthy sandwiches. We tasted lots of different types of food and used what we had found out about nutrition in science to design a healthy packed lunch. We enjoyed tasting lots of new things.

Before Easter, Y4 planted red and white onions. They are growing really well and we are doing a good job of weeding them and looking after them.

We have been exploring levers and linkages. We are going to use these to help us build moving monsters.

Today we have started to make our sculptures. We used clay to cover our wire frames. Watch this space for a gallery of the finished products. 

We have been studying the work of the sculptor Alberto Giacometti. Today we used wire to make the frames for our own sculptures. We are going to cover them with clay. Watch this space!

Today, Year 3 had a visit from NISCU. We were learning about what it means to be part of the Church. We looked at churches all over the world and how people worship God.

On Monday, Y5 visited the Health Innovation Campus at Lancaster University. We found out all about cells and DNA. We extracted DNA from a selection of fruits and examined the structure of a cell using biscuits! We all had a fabulous day.

We have found out that not all information on websites is true. We have had a go at creating our own spoof websites.
