Nursery have had a week of fun with the chicks. We have looked after them by feeding them, holding them and letting them explore our Nursery classroom. We even went digging for worms! The children have loved looking after them and having them as members of our Nursery. The children are really…

Our last three Stars of the Week in Nursery have been Mia, Harley and Bobbie. This was for their super work in Nursery and for always being a friend to others. Well done!

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed exploring different ways to move, balance and make shapes today in gymnastics. 

We had a great time at Phunky Fit Club today with Harriet from Phunky Foods. We made ‘Broccoli and Pea Salad’ which involved chopping, weighing and measuring out the ingredients. Harriet taught us how to chop safely and we learnt which food groups all the ingredients belong in. We all tasted…

Reception used the wall apparatus for the first time in gymnastics and thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. They used the equipment well to practise what they have learnt over the past few weeks. They performed pencil, star and the tuck positions whilst on the equipment. 

Y6 were joined today by children from St Mary’s Kells and St Joseph’s at Frizington to create a collage of flowers to mark The Year of the Eucharist. We enjoyed making new friends and ended the day with some fun in the hall with the parachutes.

We now have three lovely fluffy chicks to look after in Nursery and hopefully more to hatch over the weekend. The other children in school and all the staff were really excited to meet…

Well done to all the children who have achieved their reading rainbow stripe this week by reading five times or more at home. Only one week to go to find out who has won a prize!

Year 4 enjoyed taking part in a hockey tournament at Whitehaven school. They won, drew and lost some games but all played really well and showed good sportsmanship. Both teams came in 3rd place out of 8 schools.

Nursery have had some new additions this week. Our own chick eggs!!! We have been patiently waiting and singing to them all week and today we have seen the first signs of life. Watch this space! By tomorrow we will hopefully have some new baby chicks to look after. 

Year One have had a great time today visiting Egremont library.  We shared a couple of books together then chose books we thought we may like to read ourselves to take home.

What a perfect way to celebrate the first day of Spring than to go for a walk in the school grounds to look for signs of new life and growth!
