Our Year 5 class had an exciting RAF Road to RIAT day, where the children explored the fascinating world of space and rockets. They took part in engaging activities that helped them learn about how rockets work, the challenges of space travel, and the science behind launching into orbit. The day was filled with curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning, inspiring the children to think like scientists and engineers while deepening their understanding of space exploration. As part of the experience, the children also took part in a live lesson where they designed, built, and tested their own rockets, putting their new knowledge into practice in a fun and memorable way.

Year 1 Visit from Reverend Thompson
Date: 2nd Oct 2025 @ 4:00pm
Today we had a visit from Reverend Thompson. He came into our classroom to tell us about his job and talk to us about baptism. Reverend Thompson shared information with us about his daily practice and how it is his job to be a teacher, to lead services and to share Gods message. He also visits those who are ill and are not able to physically visit the church. We revisited our previous learning about baptism with Reverend Thompson and the important artifacts, such as the font, candle and water. He also told us the important part the Godparents and vicar play in a baptism ceremony. Reverend Thompson showed us how he conducts a baptism and explained to us that new members of the congregation are also given a candle as a symbol of light.

For our democracy week we discussed what democracy meant and how it works in our country. We then discussed how democracy worked in school, with our School Council. The children wrote and presented manifestos as to why they would be a good school council member and what they would like to see improve. We voted for our class School Council member at our school polling station. Congratulations to Sid and Levi.

In this lesson, pupils explored how to act with empathy and show respect in situations involving discrimination, teasing and bullying. Through role-play and guided discussion, they examined a range of realistic scenarios and considered the impact of words and actions on others.
The Year group worked collaboratively to identify respectful responses, such as standing up for someone being treated unfairly, offering support, and seeking adult help when necessary. This approach encouraged pupils to develop their understanding of kindness, fairness and inclusion, while giving them practical strategies for responding appropriately and respectfully in challenging social situations.

Acorns will be exploring and learning about people who help us for the next few weeks. We have enjoyed listening and interacting with our sensory story.

School Council Elections!
Yesterday was a very exciting day- it was Election Day for the School Councillors!
Candidates started the day by presenting their manifesto to their class and then every child completed a ballot paper to vote for their chosen representative. The voting booths had been set up in the hall and children placed their ballot paper in the ballot box. After the votes had been counted, an assembly was held to reveal the results.

Today we were visited by local magistrates who told us all about their jobs and how they play integral roles in the court system. We then took part in a mock trial, which centred around a case of online bullying. Children were given roles to play and words to read out, these included prosecution, defence, judge, victim, court usher and witnesses. The children really got a feel for what goes on in a courtroom and some of us are even considering future careers!

Year 4 - Boundary Roman Museum
Date: 16th Sep 2025 @ 4:12pm
Today, children in year 4 had the experience of exploring Roman artefacts, that were loaned to the school from The Lancashire Museum. The artefacts included armour and weapons, clothing and kitchen equipment such as jugs and lamps. Pupils had time to investigate the items and discussed what they were, what they made of and who may have used them.
Building on previous learning about Boudicca, we also used AI to create a realistic image of the Celtic leader who fought against the Romans. This allowed us to share the amazing power of generative AI with the pupils and also to discuss the uses and possible dangers of this new technology.

What a fantastic week we've had in PHSE! We've been diving into the importance of showing respect, which ties in beautifully with our Skills for Life focus. The children had some lively discussions about how respect can be expressed and why it's essential in our everyday lives. To add a fun twist, they learned to say "please," "thank you," and "you're welcome" in Makaton. Their creativity shone through in the amazing posters they've created. Keep up the brilliant work, Year 3, and continue striving to be the best you can be!

In Year Two, we have started looking at one of our Skills For Life ‘Respect’. We focused on what respect was and how to show it. We then looked at how manners and compliments link to respect, and thought about how to give compliments. We then filled a cup of compliments, thinking about which different attributes we could compliment people on.

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!
Date: 5th Sep 2025 @ 4:06pm
This week we have been focusing on the children learning the classroom rules and routines.

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.
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.
