Upper School started reading and studying a new book this week called Otto, Autobiography of a Teddy Bear. They made lots of predictions and inferences about the characters and setting and today we produced freeze frames of a scene in the story. Once they showed this to the class, I ‘woke the…

In our Science lesson this week, the children learnt that light travels in straight lines. They explored this fact by using torches and mirrors. They then learnt about how we see. Using yellow string, the children made their own models of how the light travels in a straight line to an object,…

Our Reception children have been learning lots of different things in maths recently, measuring, comparing and making patterns. Here are some photographs of the children creating repeating patterns with natural resources outside. 
 

In our Geography lessons we have been learning the names of the seven continents and five oceans of the world. We have been investigating cold places in our quest to decide whether we would prefer to live in a hot or cold place. 
 

Today we learnt where the Equator is and what it means, then…

So much great learning is happening everyday in Lower School, we are so busy I often don’t get chance to take photos! Here are a few of our clever Reception children writing numbers 1 to 5.

The children really enjoyed watching and reading the next section of our book, The Arrival, when the main character gets off the ship and is taken into a registration building like the one on Ellis Island in New York. They role played the scene with one child being the immigration officer and one…

A massive thank you to all the parents who baked or bought cakes for our very special MacMillan Cancer Support cake sale. The children in Year 5/6 had great fun getting it all ready and then bought lots of yummy treats at the end of the school day. We had such a lot of cakes provided that there…

We have had ‘the best day ever’ today at Blackpool Zoo! We have been learning about animals in science and hit and cold places in geography so went out on a visit to get some first hand knowledge and experiences. 
 

Take a look at these photographs of our day…

Today in English, the class began looking at chapter 2 of The Arrival. We discussed the story so far and the symbolism of the illustrations. Using the people on the ship picture, we created a freeze frame and then each character was ‘woken up’ in the picture to tell us who they were, where they…
