We just couldn’t resist getting outside into the snow this morning! Some of our children had never seen real snow before! We had great fun making snow people, rolling snow, sculpting snow and generally just throwing it around! Smiles all round. Enjoy the photos!

We have read both The Colour Monster and The Feelings Doctor and the emotional toolkit and it sparked lots of great discussion and learning. The children had some great ideas and ways to help themselves when they have feelings they don’t enjoy and we shared ideas finding new ideas to put into our…

Our Reception children have been busy little learners this week showing me how well they can count, talk about more and less, recognise numerals and work as a team. They have also been impressing me as we talked about shapes and colours. They are busy learning new sounds and tricky words. Take a…

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 have been enjoying reading to their new reading buddies. Take a look at these photographs…

The focus was to copy the shape and form of the animal accurately and create a portrait.

Take a look at some of the amazing drawings below!

Middle School had an amazing trip this Tuesday to Chester zoo!

We saw so many wonderful animals and learned so much about how different classifications of animals actually look! 
The day began with a walk through the dark and mysterious bat cave, where we saw some huge and some tiny bats. We…

9 Year 5/6 children chose to be part of a girls and boys netball team for a competition at Garstang Academy after school on Wednesday. The children spent three weeks practising their basketball skills during dinner breaks with Corey from Fleetwood Town Primary Stars and were definitely ready for…
