Year 4 have been writing Haiku’s about Volcanoes. They learnt that a Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that uses very few words but tries to draw a picture in the mind. It has 3 lines, rarely rhymes and follows a pattern of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third. They…

Year one have taken advantage of the glorious weather and taken our maths lesson outside.  We were drawing pictures that were taller or shorter and larger or smaller.  We labelled the pictures and even drew around our friends to measure.  We really enjoyed our outside lesson and hope this weather…

Reception took part in their first gymnastics session today. They learned how to perform some of the basic moves and shapes such as the star, pencil, pike, straddle and the forward roll.

Year 5 enjoyed improving ther cricket skills with Chad to help them. It was a lovely sunny day!

The dragon is a revered creature in Chinese culture with paper dragons being commonly seen at Chinese New Year celebrations all around the world. The children had lots of fun making their own concertina dragons.

Year 2 enjoyed visiting Egremont Library this morning to return their previously borrowed books and find a different book to borrow. They also really enjoyed listening to a story about mischievous monsters in a zoo.
