We have been learning about the sculptor Alberto Giacometti. We found out that he made long thin elongated sculptures that were supposed to look like shadows. We enjoyed working with clay and wire.

Our lovely mums were invited into school today to celebrate Mothering Sunday this weekend. They came into class and listened to us rehearse for the music festival before being treated to drinks and cakes in the school hall. We hope all our mums have a very happy mother's day.

We had a lovely afternoon with our mothers. We worked together to make our sculptures in the style of Alberto Giacometti. We hope our mothers enjoyed it as much as we did.

What an amazing World Book Day Year 6 had by visiting Lancaster University and participating in an activity day based around George's Marvellous Medicines - we learnt about healthy, balanced diets, drugs and alcohol, CPR as well as wellbeing and exercise!

Receptions did lots about maps and did their very own treasure maps. Hopefully, all the receptions are very proud of their artwork as I bet they worked very hard on their work. As we shall not forget, they also learned about real treasure maps. 

As part of our 'giving' in Lent, we are raising money for those around the world who are living in extreme poverty. If we all walk 1km and bring in £1 for doing so, we can make a contribution to CAFOD's fund-raising.

So we took advantage of the beautiful weather to walk up to Williamson Park…

Year 6 got their walking shoes on today, as they raised money for CAFOD this Lent by walking in Williamson's Park.

Well-done Year 6!

Year 6 had a great time exploring the relationship between shadow and the distance an object is away from a light source!

All the children in Year 5 have been given a ukulele on loan until February 2025. We are very lucky to have weekly lessons with Mr Lupton from Lancashire Music Services. Well done to all those children who have already been practising at home - I can see we are going to have some super ukulele…

Year 5 had a lovely walk up to Williamson Park this morning in the Spring sunshine. This was part of our Lent fundraising for CAFOD. Thank you to all parents and carers who sponsored their child £1 or more to complete this walk.

This week we have been learning about coding. We have been coding the Bee Bots to travel all around our classroom. We even made some mazes that we needed to get the Bee Bots to travel around. It has been good fun learning all about this.
