Hello Everyone!
Bubble life continues this week with 3 bubbles across the school. Bubble 1 are in class 2 and have been enjoying the sunshine and working hard all week. Bubble 2 are in class 3. They have been re-writing the Owl and the Pussycat and have been very artistic. Bubble 3 are based in class 4. They have been exploring the nature of our field with rubbings, sketches and a leaf hunt. They have learnt about sun safety.

Life in a bubble! 02/06/20, by Miss Watson
Date: 2nd Jun 2020 @ 2:38pm
Today has been our first day for Key Worker children being organised in bubbles.
There are currently three bubbles in school - Warton Pre-School bubble, YR/Y1/Y2 bubble and Y3/Y4/Y5/Y6 bubble.
The children spend all day in their own bubble with staff, working both in their classroom, the Computer Room and outside.
Playtime and lunchtime have been spent outside today with groups using different parts of the field and having access to both sunshine and shade.
The children have adjusted well to these changes and impressed the staff with their social distancing. Well done everybody!
Here are a few photos to give you a glimpse in to life in a bubble.
Friday 5th June update - what do children and staff think about life in a bubble?
'I think the children have adapted remarkably well, they are aware of what is happening and why - they have been absolutely fantastic!' Mrs. Burns who is working with the younger children
'I'm glad that school's taking our safety so seriously.' Y5 pupil
'It's better because we have our own equipment that is only for us to touch. This means we are spreading less germs.' Y4 pupil
'It is easier working with just children in Key Stage 2. This is more manageable with a narrower age range. The children have been incredibly well behaved.' Mr. Pugh
'It is lovely to see more children in school and to catch up with different children.The children have just got on with it, taking the bubble changes on board really well.' Mrs. Wareing who is working with Key Stage 2
''We are still washing hands and using hand sanitiser a lot. When we move around the school we have to socially distance. We even socially distanced during P.E. with Mr. Harris.' Year 6 child
'It is good to be with friends in our classroom.' Year 2 child
'I am very proud that everyone - children, parents and staff - has adapted so quickly and easily to the new organisation and routines. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL!' Miss. Watson

Craig McCann's visit, by Miss Watson
Date: 20th Nov 2019 @ 8:20pm
Craig McCann visited us with Tony, the Sportivator.
They organised a fitness circuit for us that included star jumps, press ups, leg drives and spotty dog exercises.
Then Craig shared his inspirational story.
Craig's dream was to join the RAF. When he went for a medical, the doctor discovered a brain tumour. Following an operation to remove this brain tumour, Craig’s hearing, speech and use of limbs on his left hand side were affected.
Craig could no longer achieve his dream of joining the RAF.
In 2010, Craig started a new career in wheelchair fencing. Then he started to work towards being the best wheelchair fencer he could be.
Craig was a Paralympian fencer and competed at the London Olympics in 2012.
Now Craig is a Paralympian cyclist. He hopes to be cycling at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Craig told us that to be the best we can be, we need to:
WORK HARD
GIVE 100%
DO OUR BEST
SAY YES TO OPPORTUNITIES
We enjoyed Craig’s visit -
both the fitness circuit when we worked hard and were energetic
AND Craig’s talk which inspired us to
BE the BEST we can BE!

Wow! What an amazing trip to see the Moon at Lancaster Priory.

We cannot wait to start out Neil Armstrong and the moon topic in the New Year!
Fireworks Poetry - Class 4 - November 5th 2019, by Mr Pugh
Date: 5th Nov 2019 @ 12:44pm
We have been studying poetry rich with imagry. We have learnt about:
personification - giving objects the characteristics of humans simile - when a writer says something is like something else metaphor - when a writer says something is smething else onomatopia - words which, when said, sound like the noise made - pop, whizz, splat
Here are our Fireowrk poems using these ideas. We hope you like them.

What a great day we had during our visit to Zakariyya Mosque in Bolton. It was a very informative visit and a great way to round off our R.E. learning about Islam. Check out our photos. Here you can see the children taking part in Wudu (the act of cleaning the body before prayer) and wowing the Mosque members with their knowledge of the subject.
