Nursery had the chance to explore fish and an octopus in class this week, after learning about sea animals and creatures. They got to touch them and talk about what they felt like and also look at all their features, such as their eyes and mouth. Most of the children really enjoyed looking at them…

Y6 were invited to Lakes College, Lilyhall, to learn about the variety of jobs and careers available in our local area. They thoroughly enjoyed their morning, trying their hand at many activities including: biscuit icing, hairdressing, policing and virtual reality gaming!

Y6 enjoyed a peaceful, afternoon at the library today. Despite almost being ready to leave us for Secondary school, it proved that you’re never too old to enjoy listening to a good story!

What a great time was had by all at the Dance Extravaganza this afternoon. They all danced beautifully!

In Maths this week Reception have been learning about halving shapes. They investigated how they could halve some basic 2D shapes using their scissors to cut them. They were surprised to find that some shapes could be halved in more than one way.

Year 2 enjoyed making Sunset Sihouettes as part of their topic on Africa. 

This week at Phunky Fit club we made a fruit salad. We enjoyed tasting different fruits then chose our favourites to put in our own fruit salad. We learned how to use the knives safely to cut each fruit.

This week in Art and Craft Club the Reception children decorated masks using a variety of materials.

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed tucking into the Pancakes they made with their favourite toppings. Yum yum. 

Year 2 have been learning how to write instructions. They have also been reading ‘Mama Panya’s Pancakes’ so today we used our instructions to help us make our own pancakes.

With our every changing weather this week Nursery have had fun in the sun and then lots of fun in the rain. We rolled tyres, played in lots of water and washed the school windows. The children had a great time!

At the first art and craft club of the half term, Reception children made a rosette for their dads to celebrate the upcoming Father’s Day.
