Learning to work as a team!
First week of the new year and Scafell Class have been learning to work well as a team! We had to use our communication skills, our patience and adapt our strategies to succeed in each of the challenges! It was great fun!

Magnificent Mud at the County Show!
Skiddaw Class and Scafell Class enjoyed a day at County Show despite torrential rain and lots and lots of mud! We even managed to see some of our own pupils showing their livestock! And would you believe….. dancing sheep!! What a great day out!
County Show – Best of British
Our display for the Westmorland County Show is up and ready for people to visit in the Learning for Life tent tomorrow. Our ‘Best of British’ display is full of photographs, artwork and even afternoon tea! 
New Starters
Our new reception children have settled quickly into Bowfell Class. They have made lots of new friends and have enjoyed exploring the classroom.
Jonah – A Fishy Tale
We finished our summer term in style with a junior performance of Jonah – A Fishy Tale. Acting and singing with gusto, telling the tale of Jonah and the Whale. Thanks to Aggie for the photos.
Visit from Tim Farron
We had a visit from Tim Farron, our local MP and Liberal Democrat leader, he was joined by our local councillor Annie Rawlinson. They participated in mock parliament with Scafell Class and listened to the classes concerns about speeding traffic in the village. He also visited the other classes and got a flavour of the school.
Tim said: “Annie and I had a fantastic visit to Levens Primary School. We discussed the role of both local and national politics, and it was good to hear the students’ views. The pupils showed great enthusiasm for their projects, in particular the work they had been doing about speeding. It was wonderful to see how much the students cared about their community, and their determination to make a positive difference.”
Bowfell Walk
We had a great day out! We took Sam Bear on an adventure to Rydal Caves, it was a bit rocky and uphill but we all made it. A quick snack was needed before making our way along the path to Grasmere Lake. It was a beautiful view of the mountains.
There was plenty of time to run around and paddle in the water before having lunch. Having gained some engery for the walk back, we headed along the edge of Rydal Water.
Sports Day
The sun shone for this years sports day. We did a circus of team activities followed by some flat races. It was a hard fought competition but this years winners were Yellow Team.
A walk up Loughrigg
Skiddaw Class enjoyed a sunny walk up Loughrigg. It was part of our summer term outdoor education programme organised through Dallam Outdoors.
A Royal Visitor
There has been a very important guest in our classroom this week. The Queen has been a very prominent figure, sitting proudly on the throne with her orb and sceptre, giving out orders and making demands. She has always been surrounded by her corgis and guards making it very difficult to get to meet her.
The boys even built her a palace from bricks!
