Upper School (KS2)

Ms Thornton was lucky enough to get to spend a music lesson with upper school this week! Of course we had to get out the ukuleles to see how much we remembered. The children did excellently, remembering their C and F chords with ease, and some children even remembering G7. After going through some…

This morning, Upper School learnt about and made Christingles ready for our last collective worship tomorrow morning. They loved learning about the symbolism of each part of the christingle and especially loved practising lighting them! After the service with Rev Paul, the children will bring…

The children planned their own scientific investigation into circuits today. They wanted to know whether the length of the wires in a circuit made a difference to the brightness of a bulb or the speed of a motor. The class decided what equipment they would need and how they would record their…

Ten Upper School children took part in a dodgeball tournament at Garstang Academy yesterday but it was a bit different to normal…it was in the dark! The dodgeballs were glow in the dark so they could be seen and we made sure we wore our white PE kits so we would glow too! The children had great…

Upper School enjoyed investigating different types of circuits in our Science lesson this week. They were given tasks on each table to explore including, trying to make a light bulb glow brighter or making a switch out of paperclips. This work will lead us onto more technical work such as drawing…

In this week’s gymnastics lesson, the class took their previous learning about matched and mirrored balances onto the large apparatus. The focus was to be able to travel in a gymnastic style onto the equipment and create a balance that had strength and stillness to it. This is harder than you…
