Year 2 began their work on multiplication today. They worked practically with counters to understand how multiplication is the same as repeated addition of equal groups.

Reception had a great time at Rest and Play in Cleator Moor this morning. Thank you so much for our complimentary visit, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As always, a big thank you to the family member helpers who accompanied us. 😀

Year 1 and 2 have had a busy afternoon creating sails for their windmills in Design Technology then using glockenspiels to play the notes in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in our music lesson. They all listened attentively and followed instructions carefully, earning themselves a class golden token… well done everyone! ⭐️

Reception took a short trip across the road to Frizington Fire station today. We enjoyed taking a look at the equipment, asking the fire fighters questions about their role and learning how to stay safe around fire and fireworks. We especially liked using the hose, turning on the sirens and pretending to be fire fighters in their helmets! 🔥 🚒

Today, Reception had their first session at Forest School. We explored the area we will be using, got use to the boundaries surrounding us and found the best trees to climb! We had a very fun (and muddy!) time. 🌲 🪱

Last half term in PE, Reception children practised using space safely, sharing equipment, working cooperatively with a partner and developing fundamental movements. On their last session they practised controlling the ball with their finger tips and rolling the ball to a partner.

Yesterday the children had their annual Halloween disco. We saw some fantastic costumes! The children had lots of fun. Thank you to FUNds4us and the staff who helped out.

Autumn Term Week 7. Well done to each and every one of our Star of the Week winners. We are extremely proud of you. ☺️ Keep up the fantastic work. 👏⭐️

We see a large number of common words in our reading and, as we become more confident readers, learn to read these instantly. Reading these words without 'Fred talk' means children read more fluently and therefore focus their attention on understanding the text. In school, our children practise 'speedy reading' as part of their daily phonics lessons but any additional practise you can fit in at home would be beneficial. Visit our website to find links to the Speedy Green Word Slideshows.

Autumn Term Week 5. Well done to each and every one of our Star of the Week winners. We are extremely proud of you. ☺️ Keep up the fantastic work. 👏⭐️

Last week, Reception were very lucky to receive a visit from two police officers. They spoke about their role, showed us lots of special equipment, taught us how to take fingerprints and we even got to have a closer look in the police car. It was a very fun and exciting afternoon. Thank you very much for coming! 👮 👮‍♀️🚓🚔

Year 6 have been learning about the collagraph printing process in Art. The children have investigated making a collagraph printing plate by glueing different materials to cardboard and creating a kind of collage.

Year 5 and 6 have visited Harrington Nature Reserve this morning.
We participated in two activities linked to Science and Geography and had an awesome time with the sun shining.

During our art lessons, Year 1 & 2 have been carefully selecting, cutting, arranging and gluing layers of brightly coloured and patterned paper to create their own collages inspired by the work of artist, Brianna McCarthy.

Year 6 visited the library and enjoyed taking the time to read some new books. 📖

Year 6 have been learning about the life cycle of various mammals. The children selected their favourite mammal to research and created a mini concertina ‘life cycle’ information book to present their findings.

Today at school, Reception were promoted to paramedics! We had a visit from the ambulance service to help us understand their role and how they help us in the community. We had a great time turning on the sirens and trying on the equipment. 🚑 🏥😁

Miss Horner’s play club had a great time yesterday in the continuous provision. We used the junk modelling to make animals, played teachers, made cakes in the playdoh and built a zoo! We had so much fun, especially Miss Horner! 😁
