Year 5-6 Transition day
Year 5, soon to be Year 6, were an absolute delight to welcome into the year 6 classroom and they produced absolutely outstanding portraits displaying the red jumpers and hoodies that they will gain as a Year 6.
Our Year 3 to Year 4 Transition Day
What a fantastic day we have had getting ready to move into our new Year 4 class. The children have worked their socks off creating marvellous masterpieces ready for display including dream jars, class rules and jigsaw pieces . We also managed to squeeze in making our very own bookmarks, and creating guitars for our Times Tables Rockstars leader boards. Finally we looked at where we will visit for our Year 4 residential and then we voted for our new Well-being Warriors. A jam packed day and we can’t wait to see you all back in class in September for our new journey!
Reception to Year 1 Transition Day Part 2
The reception children did some writing with Miss Flynn during their transition day in Year 1. It was amazing to see all of the children using their sound mats to help them to write their favourite colour and the name of their favourite subject in school. Miss Flynn was pleased to hear that so many of them loved writing!
Reception to Year 1 Transition Day
Our reception children enjoyed a day in Year 1 today. They loved exploring their new classroom and getting creative with some of the resources that were available to them such as the construction straws, magnets, blocks, bricks, lego, shape stencils and felt tips. They amazed us with their speaking and listening, writing and their level of creativity. Well done Reception!
Whole School Collective Worship- Archdeacon David
This morning in worship, we welcomed Archdeacon David who visited our school to lead collective worship. Archdeacon David asked us what we think it means when we say that Jesus is the light of the world. We had responses such as it means that Jesus leads us and guides us in the right way, that Jesus lights up the world and makes it a nicer place for us all to live and Jesus is the light of the world by encouraging us to be peaceful, respectful and kind. Archdeacon David told us that we also have the special power of being the light of the world too. He reminded us that Jesus said, ‘When I go back to heaven, I will leave you a special thing called the holy spirit. I want you to shine as a light in the world to make the world a better place.’ Archdeacon David left us to reflect on how we can achieve this. He said that next time he visits, he will give us the opportunity to tell him how we have been shining as a light in the world just as Jesus does and asks us to do. We finished our worship by singing 'Shine from the Inside out'.
Year 4 - Year 5 Transition
As part of our Year 5 transition the children created their own self portrait using a stencil from tracing their picture. They then coloured in their portraits with vibrant colours that represent them as a person.
Year 1-2 Transition day
What an AMAZING day we have had getting ready to move into our new Year 2 class. Year 1 have worked so hard making our own “all about me” poster so Mr Norris can learn even more about them. All the children showed off their amazing writing! Everyone in our class was so excited to show Mr Norris around our school and even more excited to show him where we get to play on the trim trail and MUGA. We can’t wait to welcome you all back through the year 2 door in September for our new journey!
Year 5- Reading Music
In Year 5, the children explored pulse and rhythm by listening and responding to a range of different film music.
Bikeability Cycle Training- Year 5 and 6
Today, our Years 5 and 6 participated in the Bikeability cycle training program. This program focuses on teaching practical skills and knowledge for cycling on today's roads. The aim was to give our children the confidence to ride their bikes and enjoy the many advantages that cycling offers. They had the opportunity to learn about safety and other important aspects of cycling from four experienced coaches.
Year 4 - Visiting our Link School
Another fantastic experience with our linking class! This week, Year 4 visited St Matthew’s Primary School in Blackburn for our final team project. We visited the Mosque next door to learn about its features, and we took part in team crafts. We have loved our year of linking!
