We went on a walk around Alston as part of our 'I wonder who I am' topic. We discussed road safety and then used this to explore the local area, see which buildings are around us and what their purpose is.

PC Joel made the very special effort to come and talk to us all about fireworks and bonfire safety. Remember: have fun, but be safe!

We went to the church to celebrate harvest festival. We listened to poetry and readings as well as singing our songs we have been practicing in school. 

We have been using skills such as mixing, measuring, following instructions, pouring, kneading and shaping while baking bread. Once we got the dough ready, we shaped it to make our own bread hedgehogs.

Cross Fell were super stars during the Harvest Festival on Friday. Everyone has been working so hard each week learning new songs. We all enjoyed listening to the readings, poems and prayers to celebrate the importance of giving to those in need at harvest.

So far nearly 2000 wildflower plugs have been planted at Fairhill, they are planning on planting the final ones this Saturday if anyone wants to go along and be involved................Celebration cake too when its all done!

Park Fell took part in Wheelchair basketball. We travelled to Nenthead on the minibus and then enjoyed moving the wheelchairs around and throwing the basketball through the hoops.

We have been exploring patterns in maths using fingerprint painting. 

We went on a walk around school. We looked at the shapes and features we could see around us.

We have been exploring the outdoor area. 

We have had lots of time exploring the classroom, playing in each area, working out what we enjoy.
