We continue to be blown away by the quality of long term homework that is being produced, we are so grateful to everyone for their ongoing support from home- the partnership is so important to us and we are so grateful for all of your input from home.

Today Middle Fell have become Soil Detectives! Quite a messy affair, but everyone got stuck in!

Cross Fell have enjoyed using a range of simple equipment to observe a range of leaves closely. We sorted our leaves and used our books  and tablets to help us to identify what they were. Great job everyone!

As part of our literacy work we have been reading a story called Pattan’s pumpkin. It has been lovely to share a story from another culture and expand our understanding.

Today we enjoyed exploring some pumpkins building some lovely vocabulary to use in our next writing task- it was such good…

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…
