Year 5 & 6 have been writing some sentences about themselves in French! Their writing includes information about their name, age, family and likes and dislikes as part of our topic on ‘Ourselves’. We shared our sentences orally in Celebration Assembly today.
Well done everyone!
This year’s whole school performance was another magical show for us to enjoy. Well done everyone on your three brilliant shows last week:
Huge thanks to everyone who supported or who helped at our Christmas Fair on 6th December. It was a wonderful opportunity for friends and families to come together to have fun and raise money in support of our school.
Our year 5 & 6 pupils led their own creative stalls and games. These included: Find the Joker, Lucky Dip, Spin the Wheel, Hook a Duck and The Canonball Challenge. They raised a staggering £174!
On Friday we enjoyed listening to the musical talents of our pupils on the piano, violins and guitars in our Musical Extravaganza performance for parents and children. Thanks to Mrs Hurley and Mr Duesbury for all their hard work this term supporting our young musicians’ learning and progress.
Thank you to everyone who supported our activities for Children in Need last week. Our PJ day and cake sale, organised by our seven enthusiastic and dedicated school councillors, raised a staggering £185! Well done everyone!
Reception and Year One enjoyed spending part of their morning last week thinking about what owl babies might like to make a nest from. They went on a collecting hunt around the playing fields as part of their Literacy and English work this half term. Reception then made collages using some of the things they found and talked about why they thought they would be good materials to build a nest from. Year One practised their sentence writing skills, giving reasons for their choices.
As part of our learning about God this term, Scafell Class visited St. John’s Church. The pupils have been learning about the word’s that Christians use to describe God: omniscient, omnipotent, holy, eternal, spirit, loving and omnipresent. On our visit, we were particularly looking at what the artefacts, symbols and furniture in Church tell us about God.
Our work this term continues with looking at other Christian churches and making comparisons.
Congratulations to everyone in Bowfell who recited the whole of Dear Zoo complete with actions and facial expressions! No evidence of any nerves in their first live performance for the rest of the school.
All our new Nursery and Reception children are settling well into the routines of our dining hall and enjoy a healthy nutritious lunch with all their friends every day.
Take a look at our amazing shoe-box creations! Our summer challenge was to create a setting from a favourite book to display at the Learning for Life Tent at the Westmorland County Show….
Creations included the wardrobe from Narnia; plus scenes from The Gruffalo’s Child, The Midnight Gang, Fing, The BFG, The Scarecrow’s Wedding and The Tiger who Came for Tea. Well done everyone – they are all amazing!
