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! ???? ????
St Barnabas Family Harvest Service
Thank you to all who attended our St. Barnabas Harvest family service. The children sang beautifully, and it was wonderful to see so many of them participate. We appreciate your efforts in bringing them. A special thank you to Rev Ben for inviting us, Mrs. Govan for helping to lead and to Mrs. Araujo for her support. Enjoy a beautiful Sunday, Mrs Wilkinson
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!
Year 1 Science: Characteristics of animals
In Science, we have learnt lots of information about animals over the past 6 weeks. We have learnt all the animal groups: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. Additionally, we have learnt how to group them based on their diets: carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. Today the children had to draw an animal of their choice into their books and had to write 3 characteristics to describe the animal as well as the animal group it belongs too. For example, a giraffe is a mammal, it is yellow, spotty and has four legs. The children then tried to guess each other’s animal based on the clues, which was a lot of fun!
Year 3- Hello Yellow Day for World Mental Health
Today, we held a fantastic "Hello Yellow Day" to observe World Mental Health Day, raising awareness by having everyone come to school in non-uniform, wearing something bright yellow. As part of our activities, we watched an inspiring short video that highlighted the power of drawing and sketching as tools for children to express their emotions and build mental wellbeing, featuring insights from actor Tony Hale (from Inside Out 2) and Consultant Clinical Psychologist David Trickey, with the goal of inspiring our students to grow in confidence, kindness, and self-awareness.
Hello Yellow Day in Year 4
We have had a great day in Year 4 trying to raise the profile of World Mental Health Day by taking part in Hello Yellow Day! Hello Yellow Day is a campaign to show support for young people's mental health and let them know they aren't alone.
Reception - Hello Yellow Day
Reception have enjoyed raising awareness for Young Minds through wearing yellow today and taking part in lots of activities that enhance our happiness. We took part in some cosmic yoga to calm our minds, created beautiful pictures and talked about different feelings from the film ‘inside out.’ The children were very thoughtful about their feelings and what we can do when we are feeling sad, scared or angry.
