This week Oaks have been settling back into school and getting used to their new classroom. They have loved exploring the outdoor area, areas in class and starting their brand new books! They have been talking about what a scientist looks like, in preparation for their science topic about materials. They realised that it’s not an old man with crazy hair and a beard… a scientist could look like any one of us 🙂 Read more
Welcome back!! This week as part of PSHE we have been discussing how the decisions we make can help or hurt our hearts. We linked this idea to our thought of the week ‘Believe you can and you’re halfway there’. The children talked about the importance of being kind to ourselves and those around us. We each went around the classroom and left a positive adjective to describe ourselves and our friends. Afterwards the children Read more
We have had a fantastic first day. During English lessons this term we will be looking at the BFG by Roald Dahl. Today we started to read the story, made dream catchers, drew pictures of the BFG and we wrote synonyms for some of the BFG’s ‘muddled up’ words.
This half term, Year 6 have been researching, planning, designing and making their own playgrounds. The children have spent time at Queen’s Park looking at the provision and the location of such amenities and used this research to help plan and design their own playground. They have done such a super job of making different pieces of equipment: slides, swings, trampolines, zip lines, obstacle course and even the climbing pole from PGL. Well done 🙂 Read more
This half term Year 4 have been learning all about Rivers. We have looked at the River Volga which is located in Russia. Today we have created essays all about what we have learnt. We have produced some amazing writing.

We had so much fun at Knowsley Sqfari Park today! We saw lots of animals and watched the sea lion show and the birds of prey show too! We loved the sea lions the best. We had so much fun that lots of us fell asleep on the coach back. We were all so very good.
Year 2 had such a fantastic day at Imagine That – We made lots of fun things and could take them home: bath bombs, slime, magnets, and snow! We had a great time exploring the science room and watched a scientist create a bubble volcano. We also explored the big role play areas where we could be a vet, shopkeeper, performer, builder, pizza maker and lots more.
Year 5 had a fantastic day at St Annes beach yesterday. We had some time enjoying the beach and having fun. The children created mermaid art, built amazing sandcastles, played frisbee, played catching games and persevered with kite flying. We also had some time working with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust at Beach School. Here we learnt about how the beach is a habitat for lots of flora and fauna and how they work to protect Read more
