STEM Engineering Project Competition, by Mrs Gavriluk

Date: 10th May 2024 @ 3:51pm

Today, 8 children from Year 1 to Year 4 represented our school exemplary in a STEM Engineering Project against other schools in the area. KS1 Apprentices had to make a dumper truck with a working light, pneumatic system to dump a load and it had to run down an incline as far and straight as possible. KS2 Engineers had to make a tower with 2 platforms, a flashing light as part of an electrical circuit and had to be able to survive earthquake conditions. They all did exceptionally well and won 3 prizes for best design, best theme and best communicator! Well done to everyone involved a super end to another fantastic week in school celebrating our brilliant children's successes.

Paddington in Italy, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 10th May 2024 @ 3:46pm

We received another postcard from Paddington and he had travelled to........ Italy! We identified Italy on a map, looked at pictures of Rome, Venice and Pisa and their different landmarks. We were very excited to learn that Paddington had sent us some pizza making ingredients. We followed the recipe, made the dough, made the pizza and then ate it! Yummy! After learning that Paddington had also travelled to Venice, we then made some venetian masks. 

Key Stage 1 Geography, by Miss Hughes

Date: 10th May 2024 @ 1:41pm

Class 2 have been hard at work, learning all about the United Kingdom.  We can name the four countries, their capitals and some of the surrounding seas.  We can name many other cities too, and even find some of them on a map!  We have learnt the difference between human and geographical features and know what some of the key physical landmarks of the UK are.  We went outside this week with our 'binoculars' to spot what physical and human features we could see in the area surrounding our school - we imagined being a bird, flying overhead!  Then we had a fantastic treat on Thursday - we received responses from the school children of Tobermory! They wrote to each child in our class individually, answering our questions and asking us more.  We were so excited to read our personalised letters!

STEM Day, by Miss Hughes

Date: 10th May 2024 @ 1:36pm

We were very lucky to participate in an inter-schools STEM competition recently.  Key Stage 1 worked alongside some Year 5s and some very kind parent helpers, to design, make, test and evaluate functioning pneumatic dumper trucks.  Class 2 worked absolutely superbly, putting all of the DT skills and knowledge they have gained ove the last term with Mr Hellier to good use.  They worked brilliantly in small teams and in the end, all seven of our minibeast dumper trucks worked! The children were able to explain to me how the wheels worked and how the dumper mechanism worked, using words like axles, pivots and inflate.  Leo, Erin, Eleanor and Connor went along to the competition with Mrs Gavriluk and some KS2 pupils, to represent our hard work.  They won three out of the six categories! Well done, everyone.

Scottish treat!, by Miss Hughes

Date: 8th May 2024 @ 12:09pm

Kathryn, who is from Scotland, very kindly came in to Class 2 on Friday and read The Gruffalo to us, in Scots!  We talked about the meaning of 'dialect' and 'accent' and she quizzed us on our understanding of some of the words in the story, using our prior knowledge of the story and infering meaning from other words around them.  We learnt that "scran" means food in Liverpool, as well as Scotland! Can you spot any others, on these pages?

Paddington in France, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 7th May 2024 @ 11:18am

Paddington was in France! We were very excited to learn all about Paddington's adventures in France. We identified France on a world map and looked at the different landmarks. We made our own Eiffel towers using playdough and lollipop sticks. We looked at the French flag and used paint to create our own. We can't wait to see where Paddington will be going next!

Class 3 STEM Day, by Mrs Gavriluk

Date: 1st May 2024 @ 4:22pm

Class 3 have spent a number of lessons preparing for their STEM Day today. They have made a tower with a working light that can stand an earthquake test. Next week they are taking part in a competition against other schools to test their towers,

Looking back to Spring Term DT, by Miss Hughes

Date: 1st May 2024 @ 8:26am

Class 2 are very excited to take part in our whole-school DT Day today, working in teams to build pneumatically operating dumper trucks!  Yesterday, we looked back at our Spring Term DT project, when we built ferris wheels in teams.  It was very challenging and exciting, but we worked hard to problem solve, strengthen our structures and test them.  We're looking forward to applying these skills again with an even trickier project today.

Paddington in Scotland, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 26th Apr 2024 @ 3:57pm

Class One were very excited to read Paddington's new postcard and we found out that he was in........Scotland! We were excited to look in his travel basket and find photographs of Scotland and the Loch Ness Monster! We learnt lots of facts about Edinburgh castle, had a go at using new vocabulary such as 'turret, ramparts and castle rock'. We then had a go at creating our own Loch Ness Monsters using the playdough. We can't wait to see where Paddington travels to next!

Writing letters to Scotland, by Miss Hughes

Date: 24th Apr 2024 @ 12:17pm

We are so proud of our letter-writing this week in Class 2 that we wanted to share some on the website, for you to see.  The children worked hard in pairs and groups to come up with questions for the children in Tobermory, based on the Geography work we have done so far, learning a bit about Scotland and its islands. We are excited to interact with the pupils on Mull, at Tobermory school and the P1 - P3 class at Lochdonhead, too - learning all about island life for a child our age.  We have also been reading some Katie Morag books in class, which are set on the fictional island of Struay, inspired by the real hebridean island of Coll.  

Class 2 posting letters to Scotland, by Miss Hughes

Date: 24th Apr 2024 @ 12:14pm

Class 2 have launched our Geography topic by writing postcards to the children at Tobermory Primary School on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides.  We walked to the postbox by the park today to send them off, and the postie came by while we were there, too, so we've seen our envelope get sent on its way!  We had a wee play at the park, while we were there (practising teamwork, resilience and calculated risk-taking).  We are very lucky to live and go to school in a village as pretty and peaceful as Warton! Doesn't it look beautiful in the sunshine?  We spotted the old schoolhouse on our way, as well.

Paddington in London, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 23rd Apr 2024 @ 3:39pm

Our new topic this half term is all about Paddington and his journey around the world. His first stop was London and we enjoyed reading his postcard, learning about London landmarks and eating yummy scones. We read the story "The King's Pants" and made our own crowns. We also created our own maps of London and had a go at drawing the different landmarks. We then created the river Thames using stepping stones and made our own tower bridge.

Class 3 & 4 Borwick, by Mrs Gavriluk

Date: 17th Apr 2024 @ 5:19pm

What a fantastic way to end the Spring Term. Key Stage 2 went to Borwick Hall and took part in several activities including archery, low and high ropes, kayaking and the leap of faith!  All the children enjoyed themselves and pushed themselves to do things they had never tried before. Well done everyone!

Solway Aviation Museum, by Miss Hughes

Date: 21st Mar 2024 @ 8:37pm

Class One and Class Two went to the Solway Aviation Museum in Carlisle today.  This was a nice way for Class 2 to recap on their learning about the history of flight, as well as learning even more about developments in aviation over the last 100 years.  The team were fantastic; so knowledgeable, helpful and super at explaining things in ways that were fun and interesting to our littlest learners! All of the children had a fantastic day and some would even love to return with their families another time!  The volunteers said the children from ABH were superbly behaved and clearly knew lots about flight already - well done Class 1 and 2!

Science in a Box, by Mr Pugh

Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 4:08pm

Science Week Fun, by Mr Pugh

Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 3:56pm

We had an incredible Science Week. Class One explored sound, healthy teeth and what we should feed the birds. Class Two drummed and learnt about habitats. Class Three classified animals and learnt all about birds. Class Four looked after Tea Bag Babies, compared heights and shoe sixe, learnt about Charles Darwin and investigated bird's beaks. On Friday we brought in our Science boxes and talked to our classmates about what we had learnt. We were also visited by lots of parents who came to see what we had been doing. Everyone who worked hard was given a ticket for interesting questions and answers, careful investigations and thoughtful scientific thinking. The tickets were drawn out and books and a science set were given as prizes.
