Monday was our ‘Stay and Play’ day for our new Reception starters and for a new little Year 1! We absolutely loved having them for the day and can’t wait for them to return! 

Today the Year 4s and 5s got a taste of things to come as they spent the day being the new Year 5/6. They completed a poetry activity and a maths activity in the morning and then did some art, archery and a circle time session in the afternoon. The class worked really well together and produced…

This week we have been exploring data handling and statistics in our maths lessons.

We kicked off Monday by reminding ourselves how to create a tally chart. This would be useful information to use later to turn into other data handling charts and graphs. 
We decided to go outside and count…

As part of our geography topic the Lake District we learned about how tourism has positive and negative impacts in some areas. We explored why people would want to visit the Lake District and all of the positive factors. We also explored the negatives.

Once we had our facts, children split into…

Last Friday, the children were treated to an artsy afternoon with Mrs Allen! They got to use mixed media to create a piece based upon the Lake District. This included doing bubble painting, soft and oil pastels, watercolours and collage. They had some fantastic results.

This morning the Upper School class took part in a debate to decide who was responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet. The children were already in two groups- the feuding families-the Montagues and the Capulets and they had already prepared their arguments last week. Now all they had to do…

Over the last few weeks, we have been focusing on our Sports Afternoon and preparing for all the different races and activities. 
 

We have been learning how to work together in a relay race, how to hold a bow to aim at an archery target and how to move whilst balancing an object.

We are…

Upper School have been reading and studying Romeo and Juliet in our English lessons. This week we finished the play and discussed the themes that run through the plot. The children then divided into two groups, the Montagues and the Capulets. The objective was to prepare arguments for who was to…

As part of our ongoing topic of the lake district, the children have been looking at some of William Wordsworth's poems. 

The children had to learn one of his poems off by heart in a small group - they were then to recite this poem to the rest of the class!

You can watch their recital down…
