Park Fell have been waiting patiently for the eggs in the incubator to hatch and they have finally been rewarded for their patience! It was lovely to see the children in both Park Fell and Cross Fell handling the chicks so carefully talking about the life cycles that they are witnessing first…

Lots of excitement today in school, we have 9 chicks and 2 more to hatch. Our caterpillars are growing fast and the tadpoles are too.

Some super work in science today, we have been learning about and creating habitats. It was lovely to see everyone researching using the tablets to create a fact file and explain a little more about the models we made last week, building our learning step by step using technology to help us.

We are so lucky to have had a donation of gardening supplies from Morrisons Penrith, Home Bargains and Down to Earth to help our growing endeavours. Well done to gardening club for writing such persuasive letters.

This afternoon Park Fell learnt about the frog lifecycle. Learning the names of each part. Frogspawn, tadpole, froglet and frog.

The PTFA are running a growing competition that everyone can get involved with.

Packs are available from all of the places listed on the poster and it is your chance to show off all of the knowledge we have gained in our science lessons on plants to really get your sunflower thriving- who will…

Cross Fell are really excited to be embarking on their latest DT project- designing and making a sunglasses case.

Linked to our seasides topic we were challenged to make a sunglasses case that we can use to keep our sunglasses safe when we are out and about in the Summer.

We started our project by looking at the products that were already available thinking about their good and bad points before designing our own version. We spent time looking at how we could join different fabric before learning how to sew a running stitch on some scraps of fabric. Once we had honed our skills we started to make our creations. We are now up to the sewing stage with embellishment and evaluation coming next. We can’t wait to share our finished creations with you!

We were delighted to be awarded not only a level 2 but also a level 3 RHS gardening award. The award is testament to the hard work the children have put in form our initial request that came from the children themselves to do more gardening in school after they were so enthused with our plants topic to the resilience they showed when some of our plants did not thrive and problem solving to make our outside area look better and better each year. We can’t wait to carry on our gardening journey and now that we have a gardening club up and running we are sure that our growing efforts will go from strength to strength.

A huge thankyou to everyone who has donated plants and seeds for us to use – our school community is always such a great support and we are extremely grateful!

We went on a trip with Action Ants where we participated in an obstacle course, a low ropes adventure course, archery and cross bows, golf, and dodgeball. We had to work together in teams and find strategies to achieve activities. 

We love it when we get to put on our sport’s top ready to compete against other schools.

Our Action Ants trips inspire us to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities.  We take part in our Action Ants festivals regularly throughout the year which gives us…

Today in gardening club we have worked together to write some letters to garden centres in the local community to ask if they would consider donating some resources to our newly formed gardening club. We have our fingers crossed that they may beable to assist us and also have some fundraising…
