Girls’ Football Festival

8 of our girls attended the football festival at Uni of Cumbria in aid of Derian House Children’s Hospice.

Rugby

Congratulations to our Tag Rugby team who won the inter schools tournament. They finished top of their group and stormed through the semi finals and final. 6 victories out of 6 and some fantastic play by all. Thanks to Steve Brown for taking time out to coach the children over the past few weeks.

Music Festival

We took some children to the Lancaster and Morecambe Big Sing Music Festival at Lancaster Town Hall tonight. These children have been learning these songs for weeks and it was an absolute joy to watch them enjoying themselves as they sang. They all represented school really well.

Zoetropes

Sycamore Class made zoetropes in DT, a popular toy from the Victorian times! We thought carefully about our designs, making sure our animations transitioned smoothly and we really enjoyed trying them out!

Cricket Taster Session

All the classes had the opportunity to take part in a cricket taster session with Lauren. It was great fun and we all tried really hard!

Orienteering

Sycamore Class’s PE focus is Orienteering.  We have started by learning to set our map and orientate ourselves in a space and using our new skills to navigate around different sets of cones.  Next, we will be using our orienteering course to further our map reading skills.

Leighton Hall

Sycamore Class visited Leighton Hall as part of their History topic, The Victorians.  We were lucky enough to be taken on a guided tour, in which we learnt about the hall in Victorian times.  We had the opportunity to try on Victorian clothes, play Victorian games and discover how they were educated! It was very different to life in workhouses and orphanages!

Circuits

In Science, Sycamore Class have been learning about electricity and we had the chance to create our own circuits.  We discovered a power source (a cell) can be used to power different electrical components, including buzzers, motors and lamps.  We thought about complete and incomplete circuits and used a switch to start and stop the flow of electricity.

Girls Football Match

Some of our KS2 girls took part in a mini football festival at Arkholme school. They played so well as part of a team and we are very proud of them!

Creative Writing

Some children from Sycamore Class had the opportunity to visit Bowerham School for the day to take part in a workshop by author David Webb. We brought back some signed books for Sycamore Class to enjoy.
