• Remembrance Assembly by Year 6

  Fri 10 Nov 2023

  Our Year 6 children lead a moving Remembrance Assembly that was very well attended by parents and families. The children shared their learning from across the curriculum and their examples of writing, art, cookery and song showed the depth and breadth of their studies this term. The quality of their presentation was exemplary and many of the audience were moved to tears by the beauty of their words, especially their version of The White Cliffs of Dover. We were honoured to be joined by Adam Matthews, who lead our observation of the 2 minute silence. Thank you also to members of the Royal British Legion who joined the school community in our act of Remembrance. 

  

• Science workshop with Years 3 & 4

  Wed 01 Nov 2023

  Year 3 and 4 enjoyed a visit from Nuclear Waste Services who delivered a science workshop on States of Matter. The children enjoyed it so much that some asked their parents to reproduce the experiment endlessly at home! It was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the science curriculum from professional scientists.

• North Lakes Food Bank collection

  Wed 01 Nov 2023

  We had an excellent response to our call for food items for the North Lakes Food Bank before half term. The week began with World Food Day and where children were encouraged to explore the idea of the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Poverty, and at the end of the week they dressed up in green for Green Day for World Food Day. Our children learn such a lot by this regular act of generosity and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much to all families and parents who donated these items - they will be very much appreciated by families in Cumbria. 

  

• Cross Country

  Fri 20 Oct 2023

  A very big well done to our pupils from Years 3, 4 and 6 who attended a intra-schools cross country event at Whitehaven. They all did extremely well on a long and muddy course. Special congratulations go to James Parr from Year 6 who came 3rd place in the whole event. We have also learned today that our Year 3 and 4 competitors came joint 1st place as a class, which is an excellent achievement. Well done, all!

• MacMillan Coffee Afternoon

  Fri 06 Oct 2023

  Thank you to all parents, carers and family members who packed our school hall on Friday 6th October in support of MacMillan Cancer Support. We raised more than £240 thanks to the expert cake baking of our school community! 

  Each class provided entertainment in the form of a performance of song, poetry, prose or rap to all those gathered in the hall and they were greeted to rapturous applause.

  What a wonderful start to the school year. Well done everyone!
