Sycamore – Nether Kellet Primary School

Samba Workshop

Sycamore loved their workshop, singing songs and playing rhythms on a djembe.

Sports Day

The whole school enjoyed taking part in Sports Day, trying their hardest and persevering with every race.

Children from our School Council attended a Pupil Parliament event with children from schools across Lancaster and Morecambe. The event was focused on Aspiration and there were speakers and activities from a variety of job roles, voluntary roles, health and wellbeing. The children learned about jobs including laboratory testing work, making prosthetics, farming, veterinary work, St John’s Hospice, Morecambe Bay partnerships as well as learning about further education at Lancaster and Morecambe College. They had a great day and particularly enjoyed meeting baby piglets and chicks and climbing on the massive tractors!

Upcycling Competition

Our School Council organised an upcycling competition. We had lots of entries and they judged the entries to find winners for being either decorative or functional or both. Entries included: a chicken perch, musical instruments, pen pots, sculptures, a mosaic pot, games, flowers, a toy house. Well done everyone who entered. Winning entries were a water filter by Ollie (Y6), a pirate snow globe by Olivia Br (Y6), a bird feeder by Seth (Y4), a lava lamp by Liliana (Y4), a mosaic pot by Loki (Y3), a giant turtle by Heidi (Y3), a ping pong ball game by Freddie (Y2), a model lunchbox by Ferne (Y2) and a cereal dispenser by Isabelle (YR).
