Did those feet walk upon England’s mountains green?
Did those feet walk upon England’s mountains green? Well on Friday ours did. We spent the day at the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockholes. Thankfully the rain held off which made it 2 out of 3 pleasant days for Mrs Crowther’s trips to the Lakes.
We had a brilliant time learning more about…
As quiet as church mice ....
This week we’ve had to be as quiet as church mice while the Year Six children took their SATs tests. We’ve spent the week learning a really important life skill – adding and subtracting money. There’s no way, when we’re older, that we are going to be short changed!
In PE we also had loads of…
Short but busy...
Short but busy. That’s what this week has been. Even though we have had two days off this week we have managed to fit in the work of all five days. We were supposed to take a little jaunt into town last week but the weather soon out a stop to that. Thankfully this week the sun has finally come out…
VIKINGA! VIKINGA! VIKINGA!
VIKINGA! VIKINGA! VIKINGA!
Monday saw us on our adventure to Lancaster to meet two real life Vikings, Linden and Olaf. Boy oh boy that Olaf was one scary guy! We learnt so much, for example did you know that in a Viking home the men cannot sit down until all the ladies have. In fact it is the…
Do you know the difference between warp and weft?
Do you know the difference between warp and weft?
We do. Because the Vikings couldn’t just nip to the nearest Tesco to get their clothes, they had to make their own and this meant weaving cloth. This week we have had a try at weaving our own cloth on our very own mini looms. Some of us were…

Big square, small square, cardboard box…
This week we have been learning about shapes. We can identify all manner of different lines and angles (not ANGELS) and can even name some very unusual looking shapes. By the end of the week we were using our knowledge of 2D shapes to help us solve the…
Johnny has returned!
Johnny has returned!
We found him loitering in the corridors around school so we decided we had better write down some descriptions of him in case he goes walk about again in the future. Mrs Crowther also taught us a few different map symbols to help us with our map reading skills, she thought…
This is not just a cake…
This is not just a cake…
This week we have been budding advertising moguls trying to create our own version of the infamous M&S adverts. We got to try the cake out and think carefully about which language we could use to best describe the sponge, filling and icing. Of course linking in to our…
Bright lights! Bright lights!
Bright lights! Bright lights! This week we have been learning about UV light and how dangerous it can be. We have set up a little experiment in our class to see if we can observe the effects of UV light. We have discussed how we can keep ourselves safe from UV light during the coming summer…
This week has been another busy one.....
This week has been another busy one. We have been working like mad to write our own folk tales based on the Lancashire Giant. It’s taking a long time but Mrs Crowther is really pleased with our efforts so far.
Carrying on from our work on light we have been finding out about what makes a good…

Has anyone seen the Lancashire Giant?
Has anyone seen the Lancashire Giant? His name is Johnny and he was last seen heading off to London. We searched all around Chorley town centre for him but we only managed to get some pictures of several key buildings in town – not a giant in sight. If you do spot him around please do let us…
