Nate visited us again this year for our annual wheelchair basketball experience. We all got chance to sit in a chair and manoeuvre it before splitting into teams and having a game of basketball. As always it was great fun and gave us an insight into what it is like for people who have to use a…

We have had a great time trying wheelchair basketball. It was very tricky to start off with but with lots of practice, we were soon gliding around the playground and scoring lots of goals. Mrs Lee was very proud of us all for having a go even if we were a little bit scared! 

This afternoon, some of our children led the class in a reflection for 'Little Way Week'. They told us about St Therese of Lisieux and her 'Little Way of Love'. We all reflected on how we can do small acts of love and kindness for others this week. The children wrote these on roses for our prayer…

Today, Y2 were joined by Margaret Wright. Margaret used to be a head teacher and RE leader and still works in Lancaster diocese training teachers. Today she came in to tell Y2 the Noah's Ark story like we've never heard it before. We were fantastic listeners and asked very thoughtful…

Tobias and his dad have been exploring the outdoors looking for signs of autumn. Tobias brought his autumn box into the class to share with us and earned his green key for asking investigative questions about the world around him.

We have been looking at different maps of Lancaster. We found that different maps can be used for different jobs and that maps can be different scales. We found out how to find our school on a map.

In preparation for cooking our own pasta dish, Year 4 tried a variety of ingredients that they might want to include. Some were definitely more popular than others! However there was a lot of positive attitudes towards trying new textures and flavours - Mrs Beveridge was even brave enough to try…

When the rain starts, we don't stop learning in reception! We read a book all about the rain and learnt that the rain falls when it gets to heavy to stay in the clouds. We looked at some pictures from all around the world where there is no rain (in the desert) and where there is too much rain that…

Year 6 have been enjoying the sunshine this week and getting to grips with their rugby skills!

We managed to throw and catch, move and pass and we even started to pull our tags, whilst having a great time!
