Well done to Erin who has received her fourth Blue Peter badge. Erin wrote a story about the Blue Peter animals and received the silver badge. Well done Erin.

This term has been a wonderful, whirlwind of wonder for Year 5. An amazing adventure last week to Box Tree and now a project day to be proud of. The children, ( with a little bit of help!) have produced a fantastic array of models, printing, power points, art, musical instruments and of course, exquisite culinary delights! We have listened to everyone’s reasons for making what they did and enjoyed hearing about the whole process. Well done Year 5!

Thank you for attending the Reception Reading and Phonics meeting.  We hope you’ve been busy rehearsing with Mr Thorne!  Here’s the PowerPoint…Reading and Phonics

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask one of the team.

Our children spent time at the ‘Highlights Contemporary Craft Tour 2016’ hosted by St Mary’s Church in Kirkby Lonsdale. The stunning exhibition showcased paper cut and artist’s books. What an exciting experience to inspire our children.

Samuel Pepys buried a round of Parmesan so that it wouldn’t get burnt in the Great fire of London.

We decided we needed to see what all the fuss was about and had some on our crackers.

The whole class loved it and came back for seconds and thirds.

We have had a great group starting the first Judo session of the term this week. The children worked hard in their first session – well done!

In Nursery we have started our topic all about travel and journeys. We have loved working with wood to make our own cars. We had to hammer in nails, use a screwdriver and saw the wood. Finally we have painted our cars and have added them to our display, they look brilliant.

We have been loving using our natural meter sticks to do maths with. We have been counting forwards and backwards in 2,5, and 10s, been measuring with them and even used them to work out the value of numbers.

Despite the rain, our Year 5 and 4 children explored the Westmorland County Show. We also presented our work at the Learning for Life Marquee. The children saw a whole host of events, judging, show jumping as well as all of the stands and animal classes.

Congratulations to Esmee and Toby who have been voted as Head Girl and Head Boy for this academic year.
