• Making Ferris Wheels

  Thu 24 Nov 2022 Mrs Harrington

  After two weeks of planning and designing our Ferris Wheels, today was construction day! This afternoon Yr 1 and 2 had a fabulous time building their designs out of straws, card, pots, egg trays, dowling and more. We now know all about axles and axle holders and understand how to build a moving structure.
  Thank you for all the adult support - the end result is tremendous!

  

• Wordsworth Grasmere School Workshops

  Sun 20 Nov 2022 Fiona Taylor

  Over the last two weeks, each class has been visited by the outreach team from Wordsworth Grasmere. They have delivered a workshop for each class - further enriching the children's knowledge of William Wordsworth. 

  Last year, all the children, from reception up to year 6, visited Dove Cottage and spent the day in the education centre learning about the life of William and his family and some of the works of William Wordsworth. 

  It was amazing to hear how much they remembered about their visit last year when the staff from Grasmere questioned them at the start of the school-based activities. They discussed some of the observations the children remembered in more detail and then the children had an opportunity to write with quill and ink. No emails in those days and letters would take days to arrive. How things have changed!

   

   

  

• X Country Super Stars

  Thu 17 Nov 2022 K Harrington

  Well done to our X country children who ran through mud and rain to complete the course at Cockermouth School. We entered a team of 12 Year 5 and 6 children along with ALL our Year 3 and 4 children. Shoes lost, muddy clothes and wet through but it didn’t deter our dedicated children. 

  

• Georgie (year 3) won the competition to design the badge for the local cricket team!

• The Travelling Nativity Bag is back!

  Sun 06 Nov 2022 Mrs B Fletcher

  The Reception children were very excited to hear all about the Travelling Nativity Bag on Thursday. Each child will have a turn to take it home and explore the contents for a couple of days. 
   

  There are two lovely Nativity books to enjoy, an optional prayer to recite and a candle to light. There is also a little bag full of Nativity figures to play with. The children are going to have so much fun retelling the story of The First Christmas. 
  
  A little early, I know, but in order to ensure everyone gets a turn it went out on Friday with the first Reception child. 

  

• Yellow Team Point Winners

  Fri 04 Nov 2022 Mrs Harrington

  To celebrate being awarded the most team points for the Summer Term our Yellow Team has a fabulous treat this week. We went on an adventurous autumnal walk in and around Bridekirk and came back to warm up with hot chocolate and biscuits. Well done to the Yellow Team for following the golden rules so well and going above and beyond to achieve.
