Year 5

Well done to everyone who took part in the Spelling Bee – there were some exceptional hard words by the end of the Spelling Bee.  

Recently, some of the older children attended the South Cumbria First Lego League competition in Barrow in Furness. There were 17 teams taking part and this was our school’s first year competing. The children have been working towards this for several weeks, after school and at lunchtimes. They had to deliver a presentation about an innovative […]

On Monday 16th December, Years 2 and 5 were lucky enough to have a real life polar explorer come and chat to them about his time in the Antarctic.  This was an amazing experience for all the children who have been learning about Antarctica in Year 2 and Shackleton in Year 5, who has lived […]

Thank you to everyone who attended our nativity and carol concerts at St Mary’s Church this year. Once again, the children were fantastic with their singing and acting and really helped create a wonderful atmosphere. The video contains some (slightly blurry – low light and low cameraman skills to blame!) photos of all the classes […]

We had an amazing, if slightly boggy, time raising money for St John’t Hospice with our second annual Elf Run. Everyone, from Nursery to Year 6 got their elf hats on and set off around our course with great enthusiasm. Whilst some socks and shoes may have been temporarily lost to the well placed boggy […]

Thank you for your understanding whilst we prepared for improving the markings outside of school and on the playground.  You will now see that our lay by has been properly signposted to show it primarily as a drop off zone with four parking bays (see photos). Please do not park in the drop off zone […]

We are so excited to tell everyone that we have new playground markings at school. We know how excited the children are with their new playground. We are going to have some very active learners using these in lessons! Hurrah!

Today we have had a visit and question and answer time with Tim Farron who talked with our children today. We have been electing our School, Worship and Sports Councillors this week. It has been lovely to hear Tim’s responses and to hear about how passionate he is about the constituency he has represented.

Our children have had the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament and also the Dept for Business, Energy and Industry Strategy. They had the opportunity to watch debates in the House of Lords and Commons as well as meet our M.P. Tim Farron. The group had the chance to go to Buckingham Palace and […]

What an amazing couple of days! Year 5 and 6 have given their all during our outdoor days and have learned a huge amount about building shelters, our local environment, cooking, lighting fires and teamwork.  The weather wasn’t always the kindest, but everyone attacked all of the activities with great enthusiasm and energy and I […]
