'CommunityMindConnect' Mental Health Outdoors session, by Miss Hughes

Date: 17th Jul 2024 @ 2:15pm

Tom from "Community Mind Connect" joined us on Friday (in class 2) and Monday (with Class 1) to encourage the children to spend time outdoors and be more creative, for their mental wellbeing.  The children were a credit to themselves in the way they behaved on our walks out in the community and in their teamwork creating art using natural materials, back in class in the afternoons.  A fun day was had by all!

Den Building - Outdoor Adventurous Activities, by Miss Hughes

Date: 8th Jul 2024 @ 1:08pm

Class 2 and Class 3 were very lucky to get a very exciting OAA session today with Greg, who challenged us to build shelters using simple materials and what we could find in our environment.  Class 2 linked this to what we have learnt about historic and modern exploration expeditions, thinking about what you would need to help you survive in the wild.  The children worked very efficiently in teams to assemble their given materials and scavenge further resources.  Ultimately, every group was able to build a functional shelter, with additional extras such as bedding, a firepit, washing lines and even 'motion sensored cameras' and camera traps to detect and deter wild animals! Some groups were very creative and imaginative and really threw their all into this brilliant activity.  We even spotted parachutes in the sky, which added to the joy of the morning!

World Museum Liverpool, by Miss Hughes

Date: 4th Jul 2024 @ 9:31pm

Class 1 and 2 had a fantastic end-of-year trip to World Museum Liverpool.  The children were - as usual - incredibly well behaved and a credit to the school.  They had a wonderful time exploring many parts of the huge museum; for some of them, a first time in museums like this.  They were in awe the minute they walked in under the terasaur, and saw the huge glass lift and six floors of wonder!  We had the chance to look around lots of exhibits including: the dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt, the aquarium, 'Clore Natural History', the bug house and 'Space and Time'.  The children were enthralled throughout.  Thank you, parents, for making this possible!

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!

Black History Month - Home Learning, by Mr Pugh

We have had a very interesting half term thinking about British Black History. In our assemblies we have learnt all about the Windrush and thought about what it would have been like to move from the Caribbean to the UK. We have thought about what is meant by DIVERSITY and how difference makes the world more exciting and interesting. We learnt how Mo Farah, Floella Benjamin and Laurie Cunningham had to fight prejudice to become icons of sport. Class 2 have learnt about Marcus Rashford and Nicola Adams and have written letters to them. Class 3 have been learning about the life of Walter Tull - the first man of colour to lead the army into battle. Class Four have been thinking about the Hidden Figures - the female black mathematicians who helped Nasa get to the moon.
