Year 4 have woken up to a beautiful sunny morning and have enjoyed the grounds at Castlerigg Manor before breakfast. We’re looking forward to a walk to the lake later. One pupil said, “Castlerigg is fun and we love the games.”

In a morning, all the children in school arrive and line up in their classes and enjoy time chatting with their friends and having a bagel. Then they head into class and put their things away. Our first job is the register, ordering lunches and recording how we travel to school. Once this is done…

Reception went to the castle today and got to meet someone very special ... The Queen! Unfortunately, she lost her hat! We went all around the castle looking at the features to help the Queen find it. We couldn't find it anywhere. Hopefully, as we go through our learning, we will be able to find…

This half term, our Art unit is all about digital art. Today we explored photography. We took our iPads to the great outdoors to take some photos of things that interest us. Here are a selection of photos that we took in the afternoon sunshine!

Year 6 started back to school determined to enjoy their final term - first thing was to get out and enjoy a PE session in the wonderful sunshine!  Let's hope it stays for Sports Day on Friday 22nd May!

In Geography this week we have been practicing our atlas and map reading skills.
