Year 5 - English
Year 5 started their new English topic today by making predictions about a story based on snippets of information. They were shown items from the book such as a map, film reel and binoculars and asked to discuss how these objects may be connected and what they tell us about about the time and place it is set in. Time will tell if their predictions are accurate!
Year 6 - Kooth Transition Session
Today, Year 6 took part in a transition to high school webinar delivered by Kooth. The session focused on mental health and wellbeing during the move to secondary school. Children explored the range of emotions they may experience during this transition and discussed common challenges they may face, including making new friends, adapting to a new environment, managing increased independence and coping with changes in routines and expectations. The webinar also provided practical strategies for building resilience, seeking support when needed, and maintaining positive mental wellbeing throughout the transition process.
Singing Worship
What a wonderful start to the week in our Singing Worship today! We began by singing School Rules, before continuing our preparations for the Year 6 Leavers' Service with a selection of special songs. We then sang As You Go, reflecting on the exciting journeys ahead, before our Year 6 pupils confidently led us in Stronger. It was fantastic to hear such enthusiastic singing from everyone and to see our Year 6 children leading so beautifully. A great way to start the week together!
Year 3- PSHE- Personal Space and Boundaries
This afternoon in PSHE, the children engaged in an important discussion about body space and the value of personal boundaries. To help bring these concepts to life, they participated in safe, supportive role-play scenarios. They practised what to do and say if someone is entering their personal space, or if they do not want someone touching them (such as a high-five, hug, or during play). The children handled the topic with great maturity, learning how to confidently use their voices to set boundaries and how to respect the personal space of others.
Year 1: Fun On The Outdoor Gym
Year 1 had fun together on the outdoor gym. We did not have our usual PE lesson due to a longer history session, so we decided to get outside and do exercise using the outdoor facilities.

Keep Fit Club
Our Key Stage 2 Keep Fit Club had a fantastic, active session today making the most of the gorgeous sunshine! We started our afternoon with a gentle stroll up to Jack Keys and we headed down toward the bicycle path. To cool off after our walk, we headed into the lovely shaded woodland area to do some exploring. It was wonderful to see the children encouraging each other, exploring nature, and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise.
Year 1 History: Off To The Market
Year 1 visited “the market” today and we absolutely loved it. We started off in class by comparing some differences from shopping in the past to modern day. Then, we each wrote shopping lists with 6 items and we had £1 to spend. When we arrived at the market, some of the children became the shopkeepers and some as the shoppers. The shopkeepers had to tell the shoppers how much their items were and count the money and give change. The shoppers could keep their items in brown paper bags. It was lovely to see the children working together, using their imaginations and they have all asked to do it again.
Year 3 Drowning Prevention Week Swimming Lesson
This afternoon, our Year 3 children took part in a vital Drowning Prevention Week swimming lesson, where they were joined by Daniel and three other fantastic firefighters from the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. The children had a brilliant session and took away some invaluable, life-saving knowledge, including the essentials of CPR, how to stay safe around water, and the correct, safe actions to take to help a friend in difficulty. @lancashirefireandrescueservice(official)and @BWDleisure

Whole School Worship with Rev Matt
Our Whole School Worship was led by Rev Matt this morning. We started with our WOW group sharing their broken toy initiative. They reminded us that they are collecting broken toys which Mrs Araujo will then donate to Tesco Extra to repair and send them on to those less fortunate than ourselves. Our challenge this morning was to guess ‘ Which is bigger? ‘ An elephant or a blue whale? Big Ben or The Empire State Building in New York? A hamster or a mouse? Todays Bible story was ‘ In the Beginning’. The story told can be split into days. Day 1: God created light and separated it from the dark, making day and night.Day 2: God made the blue sky and the fluffy clouds.Day 3: God gathered the water into oceans and made dry land, filling it with plants, trees, and colorful flowers.Day 4: God put the sun in the sky for the daytime, and the moon and twinkling stars for the night.Day 5: God filled the oceans with swimming fish and the air with soaring birds.Day 6: God made all the land animals. He made everything from tiny bunnies to big roaring lions. Finally, He made the very first people, Adam and Eve, to take care of the world.Day 7: God finished everything and took a day to rest, and he was very happy with all that he had made.
Gifted and Talented Gym Squad Competition Preparation
Today our G & T Gymnastics Squad went through their complex routines ready for the competition next Tuesday. The children have worked exceptionally hard to develop these routines and we wish them the best of luck! Watch this space.
Year 4 Art - Mark Making with Charcoal
In our first art lesson this half term we looked at the formal elements of art and in today’s session we have been using charcoal. The children experimented with different sizes of charcoal, making various patterns. We had some very different pieces and looked like we had been in a coal mine by the end of it!
Year 4 and 6 Rounders
In our joint PE session today, Year 6 buddied up with Year 4 and showed them how to play rounders. The children worked so well together and it was lovely to see Year 6 supporting and encouraging Year 4. What a great way to end the day!
