Year 4 have been learning about the Romans and how they built an empire with their superior military strategy and weaponry. One weapon they used was a type of catapult that hurls heavy objects or arrows over a long distance. 4 Wilkinson looked at these designs and created their own catapults for a Roman inspired game. What fun we had!

Last week, Year 6 had an amazing week to try and form new friendships and make new memories with their classmates and their teachers. 71 children went to Castlehead where they had an incredible time. Every single child had a go at canoeing and played great games, chasing ducks and learning how to turn a canoe like a compass. We also had a go on the low and high ropes. Both involved amazing balance and teamwork but the high climbing was a little scary – thank goodness everyone was so supportive! We also tried orienteering, obstacle courses and hiking up a limestone hill to see an amazing view over all of Morecambe Bay. What an amazing trip!

For the children who stayed at school, there was still lots of fun to be had. Mr Snape planned some great activities, making African shakers and playing some incredible music. They also made 3D animals so it felt like being on safari. Mrs Jones also took everyone out for forest school fun, where they had hot chocolate and pancakes. A fantastic week for everyone!

Travel Tracker team Paul O’ Sullivan and Strider, came to deliver an assembly to inform our children the benefits of not driving to school. Keep walking everyone!

3 Modahl had a wonderful morning at Reddish Vale Country Park searching for bugs and birds. They spent some time classifying them as vertebrates or invertebrates. 🌟🐛🐦 The children then did some sketches of their favourite birds.

Forest School Fun

3 Khan had their first session of forest school last week. Despite the wet weather they had great fun making nature art, eating biscuits, playing games and tasting edible berries!

This week 4 Khan used tights, biscuits and water to demonstrate how the digestive system works. Can you guess what came out?
