Year One have had a fabulous visit to the library this morning. We heard all about the summer reading challenge and have some keen readers ready to tackle the challenge.  

Year 1 spent the afternoon finding out what it will be like in Year 2 next academic year. They finished the afternoon enjoying listening to a story outside in the fresh air.

Year 2 have been learning about germination in science. Today they carried out their investigations to test what the best conditions are for germination.

Reception had a great time at the last art and craft club of the term. They made dancing snakes then danced with them to music of their choice. The chosen songs were ‘Happy’ and ‘Three Lions’.

We were very lucky to have the police dogs visit Year 1 today. The children had some very interesting questions for the handlers.  We found out about how they are trained and what they like to eat, amongst other things.  

In Year 1 today we have been ordering the months of the year.  We wrote the months on strips of paper to practise our spelling and then ordered them into paper chains.  They look amazing hanging in our book corner.

Mrs Taylor and Mrs Robson were delighted to take 8 of our Y6 boys to the Kwik Cricket Finals at Keswick.

Reception were very excited by a visit from the trainee police dog this afternoon. They all gave him a stroke. Afterwards they had time to ask questions about the police dog and the job of a police officer.
