Be SMART on the Internet, by Mr Pugh

Date: 27th Nov 2020 @ 3:20pm

What a great day we had on Friday 27th November 2020, learning all about online safety and Cyberbullying.  Class 2 made flipboards with all of their ideas, Class 3 learnt the SMART rules and Class 4 created their own character - B.R.A.D! - Block the bullies, Report the bullies, Adult - tell them, Delete the app.

Check out our Be SMART on the Internet page for more ideas if you want to discuss this important topic at home. 

Brilliant Bodies - Brilliant Workers, by Mr Pugh

Date: 22nd Oct 2020 @ 9:19am

We have now reached the end of our first whole school theme of the year. Every class has enjoyed learning about the human body; how it works, how to look after our health and how to stay fit.  We have measured heartbeats, learnt about nutrition and developed an understanding of the importance of exercise.

This week we ended the theme with a celebration week.

On Tuesday, Classes 1 and 2 had a Brilliant Bodies morning with various activities. As well as thinking about the food they eat, they danced to raise their heartbeats and learnt about raisin floating in lemonade. (ask them and they will explain much better than I can)

On Thursday, Classes 3 and 4 joined in the fun with an Invention Challenge and a heart rate raising Orienteering course around the school grounds.

On Thursday we also had a Great Big Show and Tell where everyone brought in their work done for Mr Pugh’s Healthy Challenge. This gave children the opportunity to show their friends what they have been learning at home. We saw recipe books, food diaries, sportstar powerpoints and posters and Freddie in Class 3 even managed to make a film of him interviewing a Paralympian.  Cracking stuff everyone!!

Every piece of work done for the challenge received 20TP and every child who took part received a special certificate. KS1 children will receive their certificates after half term.

SUPER HERO SUPER RUN, by Mr Pugh

Date: 6th Oct 2020 @ 1:45pm

WOW!  Looking at the weather forecast last night, Mr Pugh thought he was definitely going to have to cancel the run.  But despite the showers, we used our Super Powers and ran like the wind.  Thanks to everyone who took part in the Super Hero Super Run for the Big IT Drive 3.  We got wet but we had fun!

Bubble Life Continues, by Mr Pugh

Hello Everyone!

Bubble life continues this week with 3 bubbles across the school. Bubble 1 are in class 2 and have been enjoying the sunshine and working hard all week.  Bubble 2 are in class 3.  They have been re-writing the Owl and the Pussycat and have been very artistic.  Bubble 3 are based in class 4.  They have been exploring the nature of our field with rubbings, sketches and a leaf hunt.  They have learnt about sun safety.

Goodbye to the barn! 15/06/20, by Miss Watson

Date: 16th Jun 2020 @ 9:14pm

On Monday we said goodbye to the old stone barn that has sat on the edge of our school site for a long time.

The barn has been demolished because it was delapidated and unsafe.

Next term Mr. Pugh will involve some children in consulting with the local residents about how to develop the area where the barn was.

Life in a bubble! 02/06/20, by Miss Watson

Date: 2nd Jun 2020 @ 2:38pm

Today has been our first day for Key Worker children being organised in bubbles.

There are currently three bubbles in school - Warton Pre-School bubble, YR/Y1/Y2 bubble and Y3/Y4/Y5/Y6 bubble.

The children spend all day in their own bubble with staff, working both in their classroom, the Computer Room and outside.

Playtime and lunchtime have been spent outside today with groups using different parts of the field and having access to both sunshine and shade.

The children have adjusted well to these changes and impressed the staff with their social distancing. Well done everybody!

Here are a few photos to give you a glimpse in to life in a bubble.

Friday 5th June update - what do children and staff think about life in a bubble?

'I think the children have adapted remarkably well, they are aware of what is happening and why - they have been absolutely fantastic!'    Mrs. Burns who is working with the younger children

'I'm glad that school's taking our safety so seriously.' Y5 pupil

'It's better because we have our own equipment that is only for us to touch. This means we are spreading less germs.' Y4 pupil

'It is easier working with just children in Key Stage 2. This is more manageable with a narrower age range. The children have been incredibly well behaved.' Mr. Pugh

'It is lovely to see more children in school and to catch up with different children.The children have just got on with it, taking the bubble changes on board really well.' Mrs. Wareing who is working with Key Stage 2

''We are still washing hands and using hand sanitiser a lot. When we move around the school we have to socially distance. We even socially distanced during P.E. with Mr. Harris.' Year 6 child

'It is good to be with friends in our classroom.' Year 2 child

'I am very proud that everyone - children, parents and staff - has adapted so quickly and easily to the new organisation and routines. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL!' Miss. Watson

Craig McCann's visit, by Miss Watson

Date: 20th Nov 2019 @ 8:20pm

 Craig McCann visited us with Tony, the Sportivator.

They organised a fitness circuit for us that included star jumps, press ups, leg drives and spotty dog exercises.

Then Craig shared his inspirational story.

Craig's dream was to join the RAF. When he went for a medical, the doctor discovered a brain tumour. Following an operation to remove this brain tumour, Craig’s hearing, speech and use of limbs on his left hand side were affected.

Craig could no longer achieve his dream of joining the RAF.

In 2010, Craig started a new career in wheelchair fencing. Then he started to work towards being the best wheelchair fencer he could be.

Craig was a Paralympian fencer and competed at the London Olympics in 2012.

Now Craig is a Paralympian cyclist. He hopes to be cycling at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Craig told us that to be the best we can  be, we need to:

WORK HARD

GIVE 100%

DO OUR BEST

SAY YES TO OPPORTUNITIES

We enjoyed Craig’s visit -

both the fitness circuit when we worked hard and were energetic

AND Craig’s talk which inspired us to

BE the BEST we can BE!

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.

Warton International Airport was busy on Tuesday 15th July. Travellers were checked in and flew off to India, Kenya and Lancaster on a whistle stop tour of the world.  Stopping in each class to get their passports stamped, they learnt about each destination from the local experts.  We were especially pleased to receive such positive Trip Advisor reviews from our very happy travellers.

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
