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 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.

We have had a very interesting half term thinking about British Black History.

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.

Class 4 - Our Mathieu Laca Art Gallery, by Mr McGurk

Date: 15th Jun 2023 @ 8:50pm

Over the last few weeks, Class 4 have been studying and exploring the art of Mathieu Laca, a Canadian artist, who uses colour and texture to paint people who inspire him. Whether this has been a scientist, artist or musician. He also ensures that his work represents their inspiration as well as their darker side.

The children have work exceptionally hard to produce their own portraits of people who inspire us, such as Rita Ora, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Marcus Rashford or Bob Ross.

I have been impressed by their focus, skill and how their abilities have developed as the imitated the style of this remarkable artist.

Enjoy their gallery!

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!

Class 4, by Mr McGurk

Date: 19th Apr 2023 @ 5:45pm

As part of our Design Technology lessons, Class 4 have been exploring how bridges work and the structures that are used to make them stronger. Using spaghetti, we constructed our bridges from scratch and were surprised quite how strong some of them turned out to be. Some held almost 10kgs in weight!

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.

Class 4 Science Investigators- Forces, by Mr McGurk

This half term we are focussed on science and forces. What is gravity, friction, air resistance and water resistance? Over the coming weeks we will be investigating and exploring our scientific ideas.

We began by investigating how we can measure the forces of gravity using force metres and then moved on to exploring friction and how this affects our every day lives.

This half term, Class 4's history theme is World War Two and how the largest war in human history affected the lives of children and their families in the UK.
