Black History Month - Home Learning, by Mr Pugh

Date: 19th Oct 2023 @ 12:38pm

We have had a very interesting half term thinking about British Black History. In our assemblies we have learnt all about the Windrush and thought about what it would have been like to move from the Caribbean to the UK. We have thought about what is meant by DIVERSITY and how difference makes the world more exciting and interesting. We learnt how Mo Farah, Floella Benjamin and Laurie Cunningham had to fight prejudice to become icons of sport. Class 2 have learnt about Marcus Rashford and Nicola Adams and have written letters to them. Class 3 have been learning about the life of Walter Tull - the first man of colour to lead the army into battle. Class Four have been thinking about the Hidden Figures - the female black mathematicians who helped Nasa get to the moon.

Nourish & St John's Hospice: Fruit Kebabs, by Miss Hughes

Date: 10th Jul 2023 @ 2:12pm

Two weeks ago, Class 2 were invited by St John's Hospice and 'Nourish' to take part in a community picnic and activity day at Williamson Park.  Unfortunately, the event was rained off! However, representatives from the hospice very kindly brough us lots of delicious fruit for us to make fruit kebabs, just like we would have done at the event.  So, last Friday, Class 2 had a lovely afternoon making fruit kebabs and painting their pebbles with hearts, to contribute to a large art piece.  The hospice reps will be collecting our pebbles, along with a donation from school, to promote the fantastic work they do.

Clever Conjunctions!, by Miss Hughes

In Class 2 this week, Miss Watson worked with the children to help them understand what conjunctions are.  All of the children can now confidently use 'and', 'or', 'but' and 'so' in their spoken sentences and are learning to use these, as well as 'because', 'if' and 'which' in their writing.  Well done Year 1 & 2 children! 

Open Gardens - Scarecrow Visit, by Miss Hughes

Date: 16th Jun 2023 @ 4:16pm

After members of the Garden Society came in to work with us, to build scarecrows for the Open Gardens festival, we were invited to go and see our scarecrows in situ around Warton.  So, on Thursday, all four classes went for a trip around the village, visiting local residents' beautiful gardens! We were amazed by how big some of them were (we learnt the word "vast" in class!) and how much time, energy and care had gone into creating incredible spaces.  We loved spotting our scarecrows in the real world and were even honoured to name one and to see our names on a special plaque by another!  A huge well done to all of the children who behaved beautifully and represented our school wonderfully whilst out and about.  Can you spot our scarecrows in the pictures?  

Free tickets have been offered to the families of the children who took part in the making of the scarecrows, for this weekend, and other families are welcome to buy tickets to go and see the gardens too - all money raised goes to a range of superb charities.

Class 4 - Our Mathieu Laca Art Gallery, by Mr McGurk

Date: 15th Jun 2023 @ 8:50pm

Over the last few weeks, Class 4 have been studying and exploring the art of Mathieu Laca, a Canadian artist, who uses colour and texture to paint people who inspire him. Whether this has been a scientist, artist or musician. He also ensures that his work represents their inspiration as well as their darker side.

The children have work exceptionally hard to produce their own portraits of people who inspire us, such as Rita Ora, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Marcus Rashford or Bob Ross.

I have been impressed by their focus, skill and how their abilities have developed as the imitated the style of this remarkable artist.

Enjoy their gallery!
