Here are the finished cards our EYFS and Year One and Two have made this year to give to their families to celebrate Easter. 

The children have been learning about measuring in maths so what better way to practise their learning than weighing out real ingredients to make some Easter themed biscuits? 

Lots of learning and fun was had as the children made, decorated and ate their biscuits (with even more hand washing…

Lots of learning with an Easter theme this week ...

The children have been great science detectives this week. I brought a bunch of tulips that my own children had given to me on Mother's Day into school for the children to have a close look at. They had a look at a photograph of the tulips when they were fresh and noted the differences in them now…

Children have recently been recapping their mental and written subtraction and addition. To use our skills in a real-life way, children were given the challenge to plan a week's worth of meals. This included breakfast, dinner and tea for each day of the week. The challenge came in that the…

On Friday 21st March, Upper School had fun with Pete from Fleetwood Town AFC during lunchtime playtime. Instead of red noses, they held their tennis balls to help remind us it was Comic Relief Day. A total of eighteen children joined in playing tennis with Pete during…

Lower School has been busy as usual this week. 

‘Rabunzel’ (a story about a rabbit with very long ears who gets put in a very high tower) by Gareth P Jones is our class story at the moment and our Year One and Two children have been innovating the story and creating a new adventure for Rabunzel…

This week we have been learning about the true meaning of Easter.

We discussed how we celebrate Easter with our families at home and how we usually visit Church together (sadly we cannot this year). We learnt the reason behind giving chocolate eggs to celebrate Easter is that the eggs represent…

Since coming back to school last week, Upper School have been learning about the Great Plague of 1665-1666. There are some comparisons between the way families dealt with the Plague then and how we deal with Covid-19 now. Isolation has occurred both times as a way to control the spread but…

Middle school spent Monday creating their own den based on our class story Stig of the Dump. Children went outside to find a 'dump' full of useful items and objects. As a team, the children worked together to use the discarded objects to create a den fit for a caveman! We were so thankful for the…
