Towneley Hall - River studies trip

Year 4 have been on a trip to Towneley Hall, Burnley with the Ribble rivers trust. The children took part in some engaging and interactive workshops linked to our unit ‘Misty Mountain, Winding River’, such as a river walk, exploring the river and learning about the gifts we can give to the river and animals. The children loved seeing the different river features and how it shaped the land within the park and the river habitat.

World Book Day 

As part of our World Book Day celebrations this year, we came dressed as our favourite characters or colours. We took part in a live lesson and joined in with the biggest 'live read along!' We enjoyed sharing our favourite stories and exploring the text 'The Invisible' throughout the day too!

Dogs Trust 

This week we took part in an assembly and workshops from the Dogs Trust. Within this we learnt about how to safely approach dogs when out and about and how to get an unfamiliar dog’s permission to stroke them when exploring. We also learnt to cross ours arms, stand still and look away if an unknown dog approaches us to keep ourselves safe. In our workshops we learnt about the importance of the ABC of dogs…Affection, Busy and Choice and how each of these keeps us safe around dogs and keeps our dogs happy and loved too! Using the information we reflected on what we have learnt and what we are going to promise to do to be safer around dogs and keep our dogs happy and safe too!

NSPCC Number Day

On Friday 7th February 2025 we took part in Number Day. We carried out lots of number based activities and created our own board games with a calculation element. We raised £211 as a school for NSPCC too! 

Our Woodland Library 

Every Friday we visit our Woodland library and explore the amazing selection of books in there. We also choose a different book each time to share together. 

TTRS day 

Today was Times Table Rockstar Day. We came into school dressed as rockstars and took part in a range of multiplication battles and challenges. A live battle was held and the winning children in each class in LKS2 took part in the battle. Mardin was the fastest in LKS2  - well done Mardin! 

Famous figure - Steve Irwin

Our famous figure this half term is Steve Irwin. We learnt about why he was significant and all about his work as a zookeeper and conversationalist. We created fact files and drew pictures of the animals he worked with. 

Royal Armouries

As part of our History project 'Invasion' we visit the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The children spent the day studying a whole range of different exhibits from different periods of history, including the Romans through to the Vikings. 

Reindeer Run

This year we took part in the Reindeer Run to raise money for Springhill Hospice. We got sponsored to run the daily mile around our school playground. We loved taking part and getting healthy too!
