We had a guided tour of Whitehaven Harbour walking from the old to the new learning about our rich history. Who knew how significant Whitehaven Harbour was in the 17th century, its close connection to New York, how a teeny tiny pub saved it from attack and who John Paul Jones was? Not to mention…

A huge well done to everyone in Y6 who participated in the Reindeer Run to raise money for children who need extra support.

 

Year 3 enjoyed cementing their knowledge with their end of Topic trip about Stone Age to Iron Age. They created a human timeline, looked at artefacts, had a picnic lunch and then enjoyed a sunshine play in the park. A great day.

We had the most amazing trip to Keswick Museum. The children’s behaviour was outstanding and they made us really proud showing off all they have already learnt about fossils. We learnt all about the history of the local area and how the landscape has changed. We found out about how important…

Year 3 had great fun manoeuvring the wheelchairs, throwing and scoring today. It was much trickier than it looked. They did a great job and the games were highly competitive. An amazing experience.

Year 5 had a blast with wheelchair basketball today! They started with a game of tag to get the hang of it and then moved on to competitive basketball matches. The instructor was impressed by how quickly they picked it up and how well they worked together as a team.

Last week we read the story “I want to be … a fire fighter”. In the story we found out what a fire fighter wears and some of the jobs they do.

The children then enjoyed exploring the fire fighter role play toys.

 Year One had a fantastic time building towers from their own tower designs. They used the new joining skills they have learned and made sure they had a wide base for stability. Well done to our excellent Year One architects.

We have loved being back in Nursery this week! 
 

we have been enjoying the cold frosty days outside on our yard. We have loved explored the ice that had frozen in our new water trays, practised letter formation and mark making with chalks and lots more!

This afternoon Nursery and Year 6 took part in their Reindeer Run!
What a fantastic time they had running!
