We were fortunate enough to enjoy a visit to Aglionby wetlands this week where we took part in a range of activities to enhance our learning of our Science topic. We loved getting out and about in a range of habitats to take part in a scavenger hunt and were amazed to find the large variety of creatures living there. A huge thankyou to the team from Susan’s Farm for hosting us and delivering such an exciting and informative range of activities that we could enjoy despite the challenges of the weather! We can’t wait to arrange a return visit.

Well done everyone and a huge thankyou to the…

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.

Cross Fell have had great fun handling the chicks today as you can tell from our faces! We have loved observing the change over time as the eggs have hatched into very lively little chicks- thankyou to Park Fell for allowing us to share your learning with you it has really helped us with our…
