We had a visit from Kirsten from Garstang library today where she told us all about the fabulous reading challenge our children can take part in this summer. 

This summer, we challenge you to be a Reading Hero and help Dr Paige Turner stop Captain A. Eye and his parrot, Polygon from hacking…

After a number of lessons our year 1 and 2 children have designed and made their fairground wheels. They practised lots of different skills, reviewed and altered their designs as they went and really enjoyed making them. 
 

The children have been learning about toys in the past and comparing them to toys that they have today. 

The children in Years 1 and 2 are investigating mechanisms in their design and technology lessons. They are learning how a fairground wheel works. 
 

In our first lesson they investigated wheels and axles. 
 

Our Year one and two children learnt how to stay safe this afternoon and made a fire plan to how to escape from their bedroom if there is a fire.

Today we went out using the compass to observe what we could see in different directions. 
 

We really love borrowing books from the library van when it comes to visit!

Lots of great maths learning taking place through play with this activity. The children were comparing, measuring and counting whilst pouring, scooping and filling!

The children have been creating shapes and their own pictures outdoors this week …

Lots of maths counting, comparing size, colour matching and ordering has been happening this week as the children rescued the bears from the pit! 
 

The children have been exploring outside this week looking for and collecting signs of spring as our geography focus has been on seasons. They made journey sticks and drew maps recording where they collected items for their sticks.
