Here is our first two short films on how to arrive at school safely. There are also signs on display at our main entrance on Church Road to remind you of some of the important things to remember.
Arriving at our main entrance….
Entering our School building….
We hear you loved our photographs, so this week we are giving you a special treat!! A video message from almost all of the Levens Team…..
Across the UK, hotels and Guest Houses are closed for now, but Scafell pupils have been making sure the minibeasts in our gardens are living in luxury in their five-star accommodation! These have been created with materials collected on walks and in the local environment including: sticks, leaves, pebbles, plant pots, bricks, guttering, tubes etc.
Encouraging the right kind of bugs into our gardens helps pollinate flowers and keeps away unwanted pests, like snails too.
Here are some of the fabulous examples they’ve created so far. Well done Scafell!
This week, the staff have been taking photographs of their lives in lockdown to share with you. We are all missing you so much and can’t wait to be in school soon. Take a look at some of the things we’ve been up to…..
Scafell pupils have created some imaginative pieces of descriptive writing based on an image of a modern-day iron man.
Here are extracts from three of our talented year six writers:
Clank, clank, clank, the terrible sound of metal scraping on the ground made everyone freeze like statues. They all looked up into the stormy sky and saw an enormous figure looming over them like a dark cloud. Most people scattered like ants, running, screaming and shouting asking for help, “Get the army! Get the army!”

Fifty metres or more tall, the mysterious metal creature stands straight with its extended man-made arms swaying slowly by its hips. On each of its shoulders nests a car door. They make it look like it has a pair of metallic black wings. Its chest is protected by a covering of steel. Almost like armour. Its eyes stare down at the humans, showering them in a brilliant yellow beacon of light. Blinded, the humans instinctively cower backwards, still taking pictures of the robot man edging closer to the metal fence.

Far, far away on Mercury in the city of Cury a gigantic metal creature, taller than the Eiffel Tower, had landed in front of the enormous crowd.
Her eyes, as blue as the sky, looking down on the world as bright as shining lanterns. The metal from her armour sparkled like shining stars.
The crowd waiting with bated breath and the creature spoke. Her voice roared like a lion…..

Last week, our year 5 and 6 pupils had a photography challenge as part of their home learning. Could they capture a moment in time through a lens? In the last few weeks our lives have turned upside down, but around us there is peace, quiet, beauty, sunshine and many signs of new life.
Here is our gallery of photographs:
Thank you to all who sent in photos this week. Lots of excellent work in your Home Learning Books on science, history and poetry. I love to see your beautifully neat presentation, I’ve been most impressed!
Here is a selection of other photos including some very creative rainbows.
Despite living in uncertain and very strange circumstances, Scafell have risen to the challenge of identifying the positives of lockdown as part of their homelearning.
The have created an interesting list of ideas which they have emailed to us over the last couple of weeks, including:
Scafell, you have shown us that we can always find positives; even when times are tough!
Thank you to everyone in year 5+6 who shared their ideas with us.
Thank you to all who sent us your photos of you enjoying Easter this year. Here is a selection from Bowfell, Skiddaw and Scafell.
