History - Why did the Vikings come to England and then settle here?
In our history lesson this morning, we have been looking at who the Anglo Saxons were and why the Viking’s came to invade and eventually settle in our homelands. We also mapped out their journey from Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Reception- PE
In PE today, the children started with a warm up game of musical statues where they showed us the different ways they can travel around the room. The children then went to the different stations where they practiced being caterpillars and butterflies. On the bench, they had to crawl along like a caterpillar and then jump off like a butterfly. On another station, they had their own butterfly beanbags that they had to throw into the hoop. The children also practised hopping onto the spots and walking on their tiptoes with their arms out like a butterfly.
Year 6 Red, white and blue day
Year 6 really enjoyed the red, white and blue day that we held in preparation for the king’s coronation. At lunchtime, all of the children ate their dinner on the field during our Coronation picnic.

Celebration Worship: King Charles III
This morning during celebration worship, we learnt all about the coronation of King Charles III, which will be happening this weekend. We spoke about some of the important things to look out for during the coronation and what it will be like when King Charles is coronated. We also spoke about some of the celebrations that are happening in Darwen this weekend, such as a street party on Monday in the town centre and a party in Whitehall Park on Sunday! We also celebrated all of our successes and achievements in school this week, such as TriKidz and our coronation picnic lunch! We finished our Worship by singing the National Anthem to the new King whilst waving our special coronation flags that our school have bought us. Our Trust have also bought us some special gifts of a commemorative coronation coin, a bookmark and sticker. Thank you Cidari Multi Academy Trust!

Year 5 - Pen Licence
Over the past few weeks, we have focussed on handwriting. Thinking about presentation, letter formation and writing legibly and accurately. This week, some of the children have been granted a pen licence to use instead of a pencil when writing in class.
Year 5- Class Worship- The Coronation of King Charles III
During class worship this morning, the children watched a short film all about the coronation. We joined Elysha on a journey with her friend to discover the history and importance of the Coronation, the role of the King, and the importance of the Monarchy around the world. The children also learnt that Constance Spry invented the coronation chicken in 1953. She was also asked to arrange the flowers in Westminster Abbey and along the route for Queen Elizabeth's coronation. We spoke about mutual respect and tolerance to the lives and beliefs of others. We ended the class worship with a prayer, thanking God for all the wonderful things we can celebrate.
