Today, all classes had the fantastic opportunity to visit the mobile farm from Fishers Farm, and it was an absolute highlight for everyone involved. As Year 5 teachers, we were especially proud of how our pupils conducted themselves throughout the visit. Their curiosity, thoughtful questions, and respectful behaviour really stood out, and it was lovely to see them so engaged with the animals and eager to learn more. The staff from Fishers Farm even took the time to compliment the children on their excellent manners and enthusiasm, which made us incredibly proud. It was a wonderful experience that brought learning to life and showcased the very best of our Year 5 pupils.

This week we are going to starting our topic 'All about me'. We started by thinking about what we look like and how we are similar or different to others. The children enjoyed using mirrors to look at the different features on their faces and made some thoughtful observations.
"I have blue eyes don't I' Harlie
"My name is yellow" Ava
"I have glasses" Theo
The children then painted their faces at the painting easel try hard to select the correct colours they needed. Have a look at our super paintings.

Today our new Reception children have stayed for dinner for the first time. They lined up smartly in the classroom and walked down the corridor to the dinner hall. We were very impressed with how they politely asked for their dinner remembering to say please and thankyou. The children were able to choose three items from the salad bar. The children sat at the tables brilliantly and enjoyed their dinner whilst chatting to their new friends. What a super start!

This week we have been focusing on the children learning the classroom rules and routines. We have been busy learning how to sit on the carpet properly, sharing the classroom resources and putting them away correctly and practicing putting on our waterproofs independently ready to go outside. Have a look at some of our pictures!

Year 2- Looking after the environment
Date: 16th Jul 2025 @ 3:02pm
Today, we explored the key question how does rubbish affect our environment? We read the story a rubbish day at the beach, thinking about the problems we saw in the story and how we could improve the problem. We then made a pledge to do one thing to help the environment including: giving things to charity, recycling more or picking up litter.

Reception were very excited when the home corner changed into an ice- cream shop!
Someone made the ice-creams, someone was on the till, the customers chose what they wanted by completing a form with the different flavours and styles of ice- cream and you could design your own ice-cream and ice lolly too. They took turns, helped each other and chatted about their favourite ice- lolly and ice-cream.
Then, when we returned from a day at the beach, Mrs McAllister opened up her own ice-cream shop outside, where children could enjoy a real ice-cream as a treat!
"I love strawberry ice-cream!" Myla- Gray.
"I'm making my own rainbow ice-lolly" Hazel.
"The ice-cream is so refreshing" Harley.

This week in Year 2, we got our hands doughy and made Challah bread, a special treat for the Jewish weekly celebration of Shabbat. This half term, we've been diving into the fascinating world of Judaism, exploring everything from the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments to understanding why the Sabbath Day is so important and how it's celebrated. The children thoroughly enjoyed shaping their own loaves and learning about the significance behind this delicious bread. Join us as we reflect on our tasty experience and the important lessons we’ve uncovered about faith and tradition!

For our heritage work, year 1 explored the question 'how has Blackpool Tower Circus changed?' We shared what we already knew about the circus, before looking at different sources to explore what the circus was like in the past, comparing this to the present day. We completed a past and present sort and created a timeline using a range of circus posters which gave us further information about the circus. We ended our day with creating our own circus posters for the modern circus.

Year 5 had a brilliant DT day exploring how circuits work and what it takes to bring a product to market! We kicked off by investigating simple circuits, learning how to power a bulb and create a working switch. Then we shifted gears to think like real designers—researching existing torches and carrying out some market research to understand what makes a product successful. Armed with our findings and new circuit knowledge, we got hands-on and designed our very own torches, each one complete with a bulb and a functional switch. A great mix of creativity, problem-solving, and real-world thinking.

Gardening Club have been busy, busy, busy this term. Mrs McAllister and her team of gardeners have been working hard planting seeds, growing them, watering them and tidying the garden beds ready for the summer holidays. Everyone has worked together this year to improve our school grounds so they attract pollinators, insects and wild life as well as looking beautiful too.
"There hasn't been much rain this week so I have given the peas extra water to help them grow" Isaac.
"These are weeds that I have removed -look at the roots on them- they would be taking all the water from the potatoes" Lewis.
"These were grown from seeds, now I'm planting them out into larger pots to help them grow even bigger" Miya.

Acorns enjoyed welcoming their families for a sporty stay and play session. We had lots of different activities to explore, including, Boccia, climbing and jumping, peg throwing, beanbag throwing and sensory toys.
Boccia was a favourite, rolling the ball to hit the skittles and developing turn taking and peer interaction skills. We can't wait to do it again!

The creativity and enthusiasm shown in their work was truly impressive and reflected a great understanding of Blackpool's football heritage.

They followed the rules, showed resilience, respect and teamwork as they negotiated their way around the hall using the different types of equipment.
They learnt about why they need to keep themselves fit physicaly, socially and mentally.
"I can climb and jump because I eat lots of fruit to keep me healthy" Dina

Through this lesson, we gained a deeper understanding of the importance of physical and mental wellbeing in reaching personal goals. The session also highlighted the value of teamwork, perseverance, and having strong role models in sport, encouraging us to lead active, healthy lives ourselves.

The children and staff in Year 5 were excited to kick off Health Week with our first big event—inflatable football! It was a fantastic way to get everyone moving and having fun right from the start. The energy was high, and the children threw themselves into the challenge (sometimes quite literally!). For those who preferred something a bit different, archery offered a great alternative, and it was lovely to see how focused and engaged they were. Overall, it was a brilliant start to the week, and we’re looking forward to what’s next!

Year 5 Takeover Day was an absolute blast, with the children stepping into the shoes of adults and running the show! From Class Teachers and Teaching Assistants to even taking on the big role of Head of School, they gave it their all and really rose to the challenge. It was amazing to see them leading lessons, helping younger pupils, and making real decisions—it felt like the school was in safe hands! The day was all part of our ongoing effort to raise aspirations and build those all-important Skills for Life, and judging by the confidence and enthusiasm on display, the future looks very bright indeed!
