This year, Year 5 have been learning how to play the ukulele. Throughout the year they have learnt how to play a total of 5 chords which is great progress for an academic year. Using these chords they were able to play songs from Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons and Bill Withers at their end of year…

Welcome to Year 6! What a lovely morning we had reacquainting ourselves. First, we devised our Learning Charter together then we took part in a quiz. Finally, we went onto the Book Bus to select the library books to have in our class from Autumn term. 
 

Year 1 had a fantastic time visiting the Library bus. We enjoyed listening to a story from Claire the Librarian and choosing new books for class. 
 

Year 2 started work on statistics in maths. The first lesson was looking at how to use tally marks to show different numbers in data collected. The children found it much easier to count when they grouped the marks in fives. Soon they will be able to use them to record their own findings in a…

In order to show our support for England in the 2024 Euros we have all been wearing football shirts on the day of their matches. Come on England!

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day at Whinlatter Forest. They completed an orienteering activity, which tested their map skills. They created a spark with a flint - this was quite difficult - however they soon got the knack. We finished off the day with den building and of course a play on the wooden…
