• Natural England for P3 and P2

  Wed 09 Oct 2019 Mrs Herbert
  P3 and P2 had a super visit from Natural England today armed with stuffed animals from Tullie House Museum. The talk consolidated the children's learning in science (Living Things and their Habitats). Some children got to dress up! 

  

• P3 Achieve Silver Award with Rubbish Rebels!

  Wed 09 Oct 2019 Mrs Herbert
  Last year P3 worked through the Rubbish Rebels pack in order to achieve an award from Cumbria County Council. Alongside the help of the school council, they organised a book swap and a jigsaw swap in order to reuse items. They made sure paper was being recycled in school and looked at how to reduce waste. We are so proud to have been awarded the SILVER status. 

  

• P3 Autumn Cooking

  Wed 09 Oct 2019 Mrs Herbert
  P3 have been busy cooking! We used seasonal fruit and vegetables to make a crumble and a delicious soup. The cooking helped us with our instructional writing. (Please see class page for further photographs). 

  

• Stories are for Sharing

  Mon 07 Oct 2019 Mrs Smith
  Each year, children in Reception receive a package from The Book Trust.  Today, Reception were super excited to be given their book entitled 'The Cave' by Rob Hodgson.  We hope that everyone enjoys reading this fun and interactive story at home tonight.

  

• Today's Assembly - The Prodigal Son

  Mon 07 Oct 2019

  Penny Butler, from Bassenfell Manor, visited us to present a modern day story of the Prodigal Son. We learnt how important it is to forgive and ensure our friends have a second chance! 

   

  

• Printing Skills

  Thu 03 Oct 2019 Mrs Herbert

  P3 have been printing their own Egyptian Eye of Horus. They learned how to score the pattern into Styrofoam and roll the special ink printing paint onto it. They then printed them onto card to make a whole class wallpaper of Egyptain eyes! 

  

• A visit from a foodbank volunteer

  Wed 02 Oct 2019 Mrs Fletcher
  Our whole school assembly this morning was delivered by Stuart, a volunteer from the local foodbank. It got us all thinking about sharing and ways in which we can help. In the afternoon Stuart visited Primary 2 to deliver a really interesting lesson on 'Harvest'. We found out about harvest in the past, where food comes from and how we can help those who are less fortunate. We are looking forward to collecting donations of food in the coming weeks to send to the foodbank in Cockermouth.

  Last week, our Year 6 pupils had the opportunity to attend Cockermouth School for an open evening. They had a chance to look around the classrooms, meet many of the teachers and also some of the pupils who transferred in September. Emily was the lucky winner of ‘The Open Evening Prize’! 

  

• Science

  Sun 29 Sep 2019 Fiona Taylor
  Year 6 pupils were educated and entertained by the React Science Show at The Lakes College. Two representatives from the Science Museum in London demonstrated how big the sun and earth are in relation to each other and many more interesting facts about space travel. Beth made an excellent sun and poor Mr Potato struggled surviving in a vacuum!
