There was so much excitement today as our children got to visit the Lancashire School Library Bus! They loved choosing and exchanging their books — it’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm for reading grow with every visit. A huge thank you to the Library Bus team for bringing such joy (and so many great stories!) to our school.

Year 4 had a great first dance session with Blackburn Rovers!

This week we have been super busy! We enjoyed lots of exciting Bonfire/firework-themed activities in our provision, had a visit from one of our wonderful parents who taught us how to prepare food safely, and explored different representations of the number 5. We’re looking forward to another fantastic week ahead. Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!

4F had a great time tasting existing products that are available to put in a sandwich. This will help us to choose what we want to put in our sandwiches that we are going to make.

Some of the children from Year 3 and 4 enjoyed their first session at archery club. They learnt how to hold the bow and load the arrow. We even had some super hits on target!

This week in Computing, our Year 2 children have been exploring the exciting world of digital animation ! Using simple animation software, they learned how to bring their ideas and stories to life, one frame at a time. The children began by designing their own characters and backgrounds, then experimented with making small changes between each frame to create the illusion of movement. They were amazed to see their drawings come alive on screen — whether it was a rocket blasti

2P started their Fire! Fire! topic today by creating fire pictures. This half term they will be learning all about the Great Fire of London, reading and writing fire poems and writing stories in the style of Vlad and the Great Fire of London. The pictures they created were amazing!

We have enjoyed learning all about the artist Ruth Fitton. We have learnt all about painting portraits and mixing colours.

Well done to our Year 1 super stars.

Year 1 children have enjoyed using the computers to explore the different art programs on Purple Mash. They enjoyed creating some Autumn Leaf designs and using the different tools to make some fantastic designs.

1S have been super busy over the past couple of weeks. They have been creating their own sense poems, working on their dribbling and skipping skills, been sense detectives to solve a science problem and experimented with mixing paints to create their own portraits.

Well done to those children who have achieved 5 reads every week this term!

2P have had a fabulous half term at Forest School. This week they played in our outside Forest School area, toasted marshmallows on the fire and made smores or took part in craft activities. They even caught a glimpse of 'the dragon' we have been looking for all term who was running through the bushes. Thank you to Miss Braysford for leading these sessions.
