OnThursday 16th March, a group of children went to Hothersall Lodge where we had a fun day taking part in orienteering activities, soaring down the zip line and learning to steer canoes around the Lake. It was a great way to use our Christian values of trust, respect, courage and perseverence. All the children really pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and should be very proud of themselves.

We had a trip to Priory High School to take part in a science workshop about solids and liquids.
It was great to see the classrooms that some of us will be learning in next year. We took part in experiments which involved trying to melt jelly beans in hot and cold water. We used stopwatches to time how long it took for the jelly beans to dissolve.
We are all excited to learn more about science when we start high school.

Our school challenge this year was to collect items and make Christmas parcels for refugees in our local community.
Each class started to collect items from these four categories: Wash, Wear, Write and WOW! For example, wash;- shampoo, write:- pens and pencils, wear:- hats and gloves and WOW:- a treat such as a chocolate bar.
We filled shoe boxes with all our gifts and then wrapped them in Christmas paper.
Two of Year 6 along with Mrs Wright and Mrs Garstang then took 56 parcels to the Red Cross Christmas get-together and handed out parcels to the refugee familes. There were people from all over the world including Afghanistan, Syria, The Philippines, Columbia, Ukraine and Mexico.

Year 6 had a visitor from UCLan University to talk to us all about the human digestive system.
It was a great session and we took part in an interactive experiment that showed us what happens when we eat food.

The worst bit was the end product! It was a great learning opportunity.

Our Diwali celebrations this year were amazing. We all learnt about the Hindu festival of Diwali and took part in workshops. The Diwali festival celebrates light.
Year 6 all made our own Diwali lamps by making small pinch pots out of clay. We then decorated them and added metallic paint and sparkly decorations. A small candle was then added to our candle holder.
Each class made food to add to the school's Diwali food altar. It looks fantastic when we had all added our dishes and lamps. Year 6 made Rocky Road pieces, they were delicious.
