For the week commencing 28th November 2019:

Class 1 - Mrs Robinson was very proud of all Class 1 pupils during their school trip to Whinlatter Forest - the children displayed positive attitudes, resilience when climbing up the hills and their general behaviour

All classes - We are all very impressed with all of our pupils last week in how they engaged in their godly play session (led by Rev Rachel). The children were very thoughtful, sensible and very well behaved. The children got a lot from the session and gave a lot too.

On Wednesday 27th November, Class One visited 'Whinlatter', to bring their 'Favourite Stories' topic to life by visiting the deep, dark wood. There they found the characters from 'The Gruffalo' and even wrapped the 'Gruffalo's Child' up warm so he could go to sleep!

With the Forest Ranger, in pairs, the children made natural habitats for their given woodland animal, as well as learning information about parts of trees and a few leaf names

The class enjoyed talking about objects in the festive, Julia Donaldson inspired class yurt base and playing on the outdoor play equipment

Class 1 have thrived upon Children in Need Day and their Class ‘Pudsey bear hunt’ – they were really engaged with the task of finding Pudsey & Blush! 

Class 2 have had a lovely morning (18^th Nov) at Carlisle Castle and have received many learning opportunities which tie into their class topic. The children were able to draw upon their learning in school and consolidate their understanding. C2 behaved extremely well during our trip.

Class 3 have spent today at the Woods and it was noted the children’s excellent listening skills were along with being very respectful in the way they were with each other.  All children behaved really well and they were thriving in the outdoor learning environment.  

Class 4 have been so engaged in the Christmas production and have been learning their lines quickly and extremely well.  All really positive, good expression, and learning songs before practice! 

This year we managed to raise £157.50 for Children in Need. Coming to school in pyjamas was a big hit with everyone and well done to Clara (Class 2) who was the quiz winner.

A big thank you to everyone who made a Christmas box for our Boxes of Hope Cumbria appeal. The boxes have now been taken to be shared with children in Romania.
