Sensory journey, by Mrs Barclay

In class one, we have been learning all about the story 'farmer duck'. We have been learning to describe the setting in the story. We found out that the duck had gone missing and we had to go on a sensory journey to find him. We repeated the phrase "we're going on a duck hunt, we're going to find a big one, what a beautiful day, we're not scared". We found a cold, wet pond, a swishy, swishy field and a dirty, muddy pig sty.

Pupil Parliament, by Miss Hughes

Date: 25th Apr 2023 @ 5:00pm

Four pupils from Year 5 accompanied Miss Hughes to Lancaster and Morecambe College today, to take part in the local 'Pupil Parliament' event.  

The focus at Pupil Parliament this year is equality, diversity and combatting discrimination.  The children learnt about the nine 'Protected Characteristics' of the Equality Act 2010 and how these are attributes that are protected by law; today's focus was racial equality.  They learnt about a time in history when this wasn't always the case, and about a little girl called Ruby Bridges, who contributed to the resegregation of American schools.  The children talked about how even the smallest of people can make the biggest difference, by standing up for what is right.  They discussed the importance of tolerance, respect and fairness, as well as standing up for others and using their voices to speak out when they see injustice.  They practised debating and speaking persuasively to a large audience of around 100 other children and almost 30 adults!

The children were a credit to the school and their families and came back informed and enthused, to educate their peers, speak up and make change. They are keen to share what they learnt in an assembly, help to make a display representing the protected characteristics and get involved in inviting visiting speakers to the school to widen our perspectives and teach us about other races, ethnicities and cultures.  We are very proud of our representatives - well done!

Super Science, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 15th Apr 2023 @ 8:15pm

Well, what a lovely last day we had before Easter. After our Easter break, our new topic is going to be all about life "on the farm". Archie's mummy brought a lovely, little spring surprise into school for us. We asked lots of good questions and even got a little cuddle. 

After this, we made the most of our new school pond. On our last visit we noticed frog spawn and tadpoles so we decided to have a go and pond dipping and look at them more closely. 

Class One Crag Trip, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 30th Mar 2023 @ 3:53pm

Class one had a lovely (but wet) time up the Crag. We met B , the park ranger and found some quiet, damp places to look for some bugs. Some of us had a go at making bug houses and some outdoor art.

Date: 30th Mar 2023 @ 3:48pm

Comic Relief 2023, by Miss Hughes

Date: 17th Mar 2023 @ 9:18am

We had a lot of fun fundraising for Comic Relief this 'Red Nose Day'.  The children (and staff!) came in dressed in wacky clothing and, after lunch, we had a bubble run for fun.  Then, in assembly, we were entertained by some of the children telling jokes.  At our last count on Friday, we had raised over £100! Well done everyone, what a fantastic effort.

Learn To Ride, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 11th Jan 2023 @ 3:57pm

Class 1 Science, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 27th Sep 2022 @ 7:31pm

In science, we have been learning all about the body. We practised singing head, shoulders, knees and toes and had a go at drawing around a friend and naming the parts of the body. We can even tell you where our heart is and what it does! 
We then learnt about the 5 senses, hear, taste, smell, sight and touch. We went for a sensory walk around the village, we could see different buildings including the church and we even found some lavender and rosemary to smell. We then had a little visit to the park and even found some conkers in their shells!
