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.

Over the past few weeks, Year 1 have enjoyed our second set of Forest School sessions. We were very lucky with the weather and made the most of our last sessions this year. Through the sessions, we learnt about different types of birds and made nests using different natural resources, we made mud creations in the mud kitchen and explored the pond area and found frogs. We even enjoyed a campfire in our last session.

Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the farm on our Key Stage 2 playground. We talked about what animals we know live on a farm and what we hoped to see before our visit. We also talked about the importance of handwashing and being hygenic around the animals. During our visit we had lots of opportunities to ask questions, stroke the animals, brush them and learn more about them.

This half term, in reading into writing we have explored persuasive adverts and in Geography we have looked at hot and cold places. To link the two topics together, we wrote a persuasive advert to persuade someone to visit either the desert, rainforest or Antarctica- we even used the computers to create our hot write to make them look bright and colourful as well as improve our digital literacy skills.
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.

This week in Science, we research animals which are extinct and how they became extinct. Some of us were shocked that animals such as the West African Black Rhino became extinct as little as 14 years ago. Have a look at some of our presentations about them.

Year 4 had an enjoyable transition session last week. The class focused on team-building exercises centered around some of our boundary promises—showing respect to others and working well together.
The children first played a guessing game where one child gave clues without using certain words. Next, they had to get everyone through a hula hoop in the quickest time possible. Laurel (the new Hawthorn) managed it in 33 seconds!
After that, they took part in various Taskmaster-style activities, such as using objects to create a tabletop game, building the tallest tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows, and designing an aeroplane that would travel the fastest.
Year 4 - Heritage Week - Showtown
Date: 14th Jul 2025 @ 2:56pm
Wow! What a great afternoon we had at Showtown museum in Blackpool during Heritage Week. We were first greeted by Snappy a 1950s photographer who showed us lots of pictures she took back then. Then we split off into four groups to explore the museum and learn more about Blackpool Tower and its construction. Back in school we did a double page spread on everything we learned about how Blackpool became a popular seaside resort.

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.

Today, the pupils not on the PGL trip have been busy learning how to sketch and use watercolour paints to create 'still life' artwork. We looked at the lines and shapes that the items made and then added tones to show light and shade. After sketching, the pupils practised the techniques used to paint using watercolours and then painted a 'still life' image.

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!

We have been learning all about the seaside and what you might find if you explore the beach. Our story this week is "There's No Such Thing as Mermaids". In the story they look for mermaids in a rock pool. We created our own rock pool in a tuff tray using shells, sea cretaures and spinach for seaweed!

What an amazing day we had at Sports Day! The sun was shining, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. We kicked things off with a thrilling running race. Everyone cheered as our classmates dashed down the track, some really showing off their speedy legs!
Next up was the silly throwing wellies contest. It was hilarious watching the wellies fly through the air! Some didn't go in the direction they wanted to - ooops! We then got our bean bags ready for throwing into the hoops. A bit tricky at times, but everyone had a go and lots of giggles were had. After that, the standing long jump tested our jumping skills – some of us made impressive leaps!
To keep our energy up, we zoomed through the speed bounce challenge. Finally, we finished with a fast-paced cup stacking race. It was a real nail-biter! A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came to cheer us on. We had a fabulous day full of fun, laughter, and friendly competition. Can’t wait for next year!
