Years 1 and 2 visit the Moon!, by Mr McGurk

Date: 12th Nov 2019 @ 12:38pm

Wow! What an amazing trip to see the Moon at Lancaster Priory.

The children were in awe of the 7 metre diameter moon in the rafters of the Priory. Absolutely stunning. They were so sensible and were a credit to our school. Members of the public and even the staff have commented on how polite, well behaved and inquisitive the children are. 

We cannot wait to start out Neil Armstrong and the moon topic in the New Year!

Fireworks Poetry - Class 4 - November 5th 2019, by Mr Pugh

Date: 5th Nov 2019 @ 12:44pm

We have been studying poetry rich with imagry. We have learnt about:

personification - giving objects the characteristics of humans                                                                                   simile - when a writer says something is like something else                                                                                      metaphor -  when a writer says something is smething else                                                                                        onomatopia - words which, when said, sound like the noise made - pop, whizz, splat

Here are our Fireowrk poems using these ideas.  We hope you like them. 

Islam: Imran's visit and a trip to the Mosque, by Mr Pugh

Date: 4th Nov 2019 @ 10:32am

Just before half term we were visited by Imran who came in to talk to us about Islam.  He showed us artefacts and explained the Five Pillars of Islam. Then he worked with Class 3 and Class 4 teaching them about prayer and pilgrimage. 

What a great day we had during our visit to Zakariyya Mosque in Bolton.  It was a very informative visit and a great way to round off our R.E.  learning about Islam. Check out our photos.  Here you can see the children taking part in Wudu (the act of cleaning the body before prayer) and wowing the Mosque members with their knowledge of the subject.

Sports Day Success, by Miss Watson

Date: 2nd Jul 2019 @ 3:42pm

We held our Sports Day on Tuesday 2nd July. Just like last year, the morning involved children working in mixed age teams to complete a series of eight skill challenges. The skill challenges included shooting goals in both football and netball; discus, shotput and javelin throwing; long jump, hurdles and shuttle run. Children have been practising these skills during their P.E. lessons with Mr. Harris this half-term. All children earned team points during each activity.

In the afternoon, children were involved in a series of traditional races - sprinting, balancing quoits, relay and finally a lap (or two for Year 5 and Year 6!) round our track. The first four winners of each race won points for their teams.

When all the team points had been totalled, Mr. Harris informed everyone of the final result! Congratulations to Hutton who won the Sports Day Cup once again!

Many thanks to

• Mrs. Gavriluk and Mr. Harris for planning and organising this successful sports day
• All the parent volunteers and staff who supervised the different activities
• P.T.A. ladies for providing refreshments
• All those  parents and other family members who joined us to enjoy our sports day
• All our children for showing us their best sporting performance - you were BRILLIANT!
• A special thank you and well done to all the Year 6 team leaders who did a FAB job managing their teams

Class 2's Chick Visitors, by Mr McGurk

Date: 9th May 2019 @ 7:59pm

To help us understand animal life cycles Class 2 have been very lucky to have some very new visitors.

Thomas Hizzard's family brought in an incubator with a small clutch of eggs for us to watch and observe.

It was very exciting and we were very lucky to have 9 chicks hatch in our classroom. We even got to see some of the chicks push their way out of their shells and chip their way out withtheir egg tooth. We learned to identify some of the breeds such as White Wine Dots, Rhode Island Reds and Pekins. One of the most exciting moments was when we discovered that 'Batchick', who is a black chick, is an unknown breed and we are still hoping to find out more. We have researched the life cycles of chicks and hens and look out for some of our writing appearing soon.

What a brilliant experience.

Our topic for the first part of the spring term has been all about 'Our Childhood'. We have been learning all about what it was like to be a child for our parents, grandparents and as far back as the Victorians.

The Judges Lodgings is a museum in Lancaster dedicated to teaching us all about childhood through the ages. We dressed up as Victorian school children, learned what it was like to work in a Victorian home, met some interesting people and even handled some old toys oursleves.

We learned so much and this is just a snapshot of our day!
