Cross Fell were really fortunate to have Mrs Tuffin today sharing a range of instruments with us, it is such a treat to be able to listen to talented musicians playing a range of instruments and inspiring our own musical journeys. Thankyou Mrs Tuffin.

As promised to our aspiring Petrologists and Geologists in Middle Fell here is a link to an interactive map that lets you search wherever you want and look at the bedrock of that area:

We had fun…

We caught the robber! Today in the next part of our story Claude the dog helped the police to catch the robber, we learned all about questions and used them to find out what had happened. We love it when we can use drama to bring our learning to life and help us to expand our ever growing…

We really enjoyed getting outdoors this afternoon looking at different creatures in their micro habitats. Everyone was very careful with the creatures we found and had some super observations about them using our magnifying glasses to help us. Top scientists!

Thankyou to everyone who continues to be so involved with our science project- we now have a curiosity cube so the children can get up close and examine a range of things to make them wonder.
Thankyou to Evie for the egg shells :-)

We have had a wonderful couple of afternoons working with Mr Bailey to develop our technology skills. We took part in an immersive activity with wireless headphones, created some green screen photos and recorded some footage all about pirates

We have really enjoyed working on the tablets this afternoon as part of our science work to create animal factfile- we are so pleased with the quality of work and the discussions the children had. Our first group completed the tasks today and group two will take a turn tomorrow :-)

Just another thankyou to everyone who has been so enthused with our Science topic and been bringing in leaves that have been nibbled (food chains in action) and nests and egg shells they have found inspired by our Science topic of animals and their habitats and also Carly's discovery of an egg…

We love to get hands on with our maths learning and this week we have done some fantastic work on capacity, next week we move onto looking at temperature and building on our work this week transferring the skill of being able to read scales in divisions of 1,2,5 and 10.

In science we are learning about plants, last week we looked closely at the different parts of plants and today we did some planting in our outdoor area.

We talked to the children about what they would like to grow and have today planted potatoes, peas, pansies and nasturtiums.

We have our…

Just a reminder that we have some World Book Day books for anyone struggling to swap their tokens, I didn’t want anyone to miss out if they couldn't make it to the shops so have swapped some to make it easier. If you would like one please bring in your token and choose a book then I will keep…

Cross Fell have had a road safety session with Sarah from Pyjama Drama today. We listened to some true and some made up stories about staying safe while near the road. We learnt that we should ALWAYS wear our helmet when riding any wheels such as bikes, scooters, hoverboards and heelys.
We also…
