During World Book Day, we have been exploring our favourite books. Some of us redesigned the covers of our favourite books, while others of us created new characters that could be used in a sequel.

 Year 3 have enjoyed a day of world book day activities today including an online visit from the author David O’Connell who wrote the series of Beastie Bros. We did a draw along and created our own comic book stories from our characters we created. 
 

This week in science, we have started to sort plants into groups. We looked at the size, shape and colour of the plants petals to decide what sorting criteria we should use.

Here are Year 6 having their last class school photo taken in primary school!

In a flash, their time in primary is starting to draw to a close! There's still so much fun to be had but is this the start of the beginning of the end?

During Lent, we are praying the Stations of the Cross during class prayer time. The children in Year 4 lead each Station. It is good to have this quiet time of reflection on the events that happened between Jesus being condemned to death and his burial in the tomb. 

Year 5 have been creating homework projects since January. We had the choice of space, planet  Earth or famous scientists/inventors. We all put a lot of time and effort into our projects. Mr Hodder came to see them and was very impressed. They are going to go on display in the Library and some of…

This week we’ve been reading and exploring Chapter one in our English lessons and today we watched the opening scene of the film The Iron Giant. In groups we used hoops to create a Venn Diagram and we worked together to put them in the correct place.

Six girls in Year 5 have produced an amazing display about TV producer Amy Hargreaves’s ready to share at the International Women’s Day convention at the University of Cumbria on Monday.

We had our first ukulele lesson today. We learned how to strum, pluck and fret chords, and it was only our first lesson!

As part of our new RE topic, we have been learning about Lent. Lent is the time when we are preparing for Easter. Lent starts with Shrove Tuesday when people eat pancakes. We had our own pancakes to celebrate the start of a new church season.

This week in Science, Year 1 have been using magnifying glasses to look at parts of flowers. They then drew a diagram of their flower and labelled the petals, stem, and leaves.
