• Fabulous Felt in Snowdon Class

  Thu 18 Mar 2021 Mrs Bullock
  The children have completed a lovely unit of work in our art sessions this week. They researched a felt artist, Ali Scott. The children were amazed at the work that she creates from wool fibres and the ‘wet felting’ process. They created inspiration pages in their art journals, designed their piece while thinking about a colour scheme and the emotions they wanted to portray in through their work. Finally, everyone  made their own pieces of felt. We can’t wait to show you all the final products!

  

• Poetry Analysis Workshop

  Wed 17 Mar 2021 Mrs Bullock
  Snowdon class thoroughly enjoyed learning lots of technical vocabulary which they then  used when looking closer at poetry. They can now spot a metaphor, smilie and rhyme. They’re great at identifying onomatopoeia, alliteration and personification! Who knew poetry was such fun! The children amazed me with their enthusiasm and the way they approached the challenges I gave them today! Great job folks!

• Y3 Pendle - Science friction experiment

  Mon 15 Mar 2021 Miss Dobbs
  As our first week back into school was Science week, Pendle class enjoyed carrying out an experiment on friction. In small groups, the children had to measure how far a toy car would travel along different surfaces. The further the car went, the less friction. 

  

• French Food tasting - Year 6 Everest

  Sun 14 Mar 2021 Mrs Goodyear
  During our period of remote learning, Year 6 have continued their exciting French learning with Mrs Swansbury. After learning about the culture of France and food, the children created some amazing cafe menus whilst learning form home. This week they had the exciting opportunity to taste and sample different French foods on Thursday and they had a fabulous afternoon. 

  

• British Science Week - Year 6 Everest

  Sun 14 Mar 2021 Mrs Goodyear

  Year 6 have had a super first week back in school following our remote learning and it was great to start with a science focus. Our topic for this half-term is ‘The Circulatory System’ and the children have made an excellent start this week with their learning. 
  On Monday, we took inspiration from the famous children’s writer and illustrator Oliver Jeffers and looked at his book ‘The Heart and the Bottle’ which started us thinking about the physiological features of the heart. We were really lucky to be able to use the Virtuali-tee shirts to recap on other systems within the body, before exploring the heart and lungs in close detail. The ability to peel back the layers of the hearts was super for allowing us to see the different chambers and structure of the heart. 
  In P.E, we continued our knowledge of pulse from previous learning, to start to explore the impact different exercise places on our heart; we will continue with this in the coming weeks. The children drew and labelled a model of the heart and have produced some excellent diagrams! 

  In addition, on Wednesday we were very lucky to take part in a zoom through The Children’s University with Space expert Professor Walsh from the University of Central Lancashire. He gave us some fascinating insight into the Sun and The Solar System which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

  Year 6 have had a fabulous day celebrating the end of term. This morning we watched the fantastic Jack in the Beanstalk pantomime. There was lots of laughter, cheers and fantastic songs!
