Reception: Muddy Monday

For our Monday Monday this week the children in Reception have been finding Autumn treasures. They loved finding and exploring why the leaves have changed colour and saw a variety of different Autumnal leaves. The children also learnt what deciduous and evergreen trees were. We also found conkers and acorns. Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Thompson were really impressed with the children's walking as they walked all the way to Whitehall Park. Well done!

Whole School Singing Worship

This morning our whole school family came together to discuss harvest, thinking of others in need and singing some harvest songs. This week we looked at a new song called Siyahamba from South Africa, looking at how others worship God through song and how we will be supporting Christians from South Africa during our Bishop's Harvest Appeal and Pedal Along with Bishop Philip. We are looking forward to performing Siyahamba /Marching in the light of God in our Harvest Church Service on Thursday 23rd October.

Year 1 Fundamental Movement Skills

In today’s PE session, we continued to work on fundamental skills which can be viewed in stages. The children worked on bouncing and dodging through a variety of activities. With dodging we highlighted key teaching points which included bending of the knee to anticipate dodging, changing direction with verbal command and mirroring. In bouncing we discussed ineffective slapping of the ball and keeping control in a stationary position. It was super to see how the children developed their skills and became more and more confident.

Year 2 Bouncing a ball and dodging

In our PE lesson we looked at bouncing a ball which involves regimenting force from a ball then immediately imparting force on the ball in a downward direction. The children tried really hard to develop this fundamental skills and use both hands to control the ball. With dodging, the children worked on a quick, deceptive change in direction in order to get away from their partner. We played various games and everyone joined in and communicated in a positive and mature way.

Year 1 Art: Mixed Media Landscapes

This afternoon we have started to create our final piece of our hot or cold landscapes. The children used their previous plan to draw their landscape picture. They then used lots of materials such as sand, beads, plastic, cotton wool and tin foil to create their mixed media landscapes. They put lots of thought of what colour materials they were using to ensure that they were only using warm colours for their hot landscape or cool colours for their cold landscape. We cannot wait to see what they look like when they are finished. Well done Year 1!

Foodie Friends Club-Making Scones

For our final Foodie Club session this half term, the bakers had a great time making fruit and plain scones. They practised important skills such as weighing ingredients accurately, cutting butter into the flour, and using cutters to shape the scones. They showed great teamwork and enthusiasm, carefully following the recipe and enjoying the hands-on experience of baking. By the end of the session, everyone had created their own beautifully shaped scones, ready to take home and share. The club demonstrates a wonderful example of the children living life in fullness, embracing learning, creativity, and the joy of sharing with others.

Bishop Philip’s Harvest Pedal Along

Mrs Ham and her husband took on a cycling challenge today to pedal along with Bishop Philip for this year’s Bishop’s Harvest Appeal. They cycled 30 miles from Fleetwood to Lytham and back. We would love to see our school family pedalling along on bikes or scooters throughout October to raise money for Christians in South Africa. Donations can be made on Parent Pay. How about getting family and friends to sponsor you £1.00 per mile! Please send in photos and distances to Mrs Ham or Mrs Wilkinson. Happy pedalling! ???? ????

Year 5 - Hello Yellow Day

Year 5 celebrated Hello Yellow Day by wearing our own yellow clothes. We defined what the term ‘mental health’ means before reflecting on what positive mental health looks like and the many different ways it can be managed. This included a mindfulness colouring session.

Year 1 Hello Yellow Day

We loved celebrating Hello Yellow Day in Year 1. We discussed that Hello Yellow Day is raising awareness for mental health and the children shared times when they might have felt sad, lonely or scared. We read ‘I am Enough’ by Grace Byers to promote positive mental health and enjoyed lots of fun Hello Yellow activities in our areas like colouring, dot to dot and word searches.

Year 2-World Mental Health Day

Year 2 celebrated World Mental Health Day today! Everyone came dressed in yellow and spent time learning about how important it is to look after ourselves. We talked about what we can do when we’re feeling a bit down — like doing things we love, spending time with friends and family, and talking about how we feel. The children shared lots of great ideas about what makes them happy and how they can stay positive. Well done Year 2!
