Our Cinderella Summer Performance.

 in Scafell / Skiddaw / Whole School by

Last week, on Monday afternoon and on Tuesday evening, Skiddaw and Scafell joined together to perform our summer play; Cinderella. With a wonderful cast; amazing props people; and a talented tech team; the play was a brilliant success!

While at Lockerbie Manor – Scafell’s recent residential- we discovered a ceilidh (sounds like Kaylie) dance, which we performed at the ball in the play! Skiddaw class were the cheeky, loveable mice, and before we even received our parts, we were all given scripts to perform at the auditions!

Our backdrops were drawn by the props team and we included lots of sounds (played by our tech team). We had a great audience, who participated in lines such as ‘oh no she isn’t, oh yes she is!’ The outfits were all amazing, and the face paint very convincing, as the ugly sisters had extremely dramatic makeup!

What a wonderful time we all had! A big thank you to Mrs Wadey and Miss Dawson for organising the play itself and to all our families who supported us; helped us learn our lines; organised our amazing costumes and came to watch our Cinderella. Thank you!

Y6 End of Year Treat 2018

 in Scafell / Whole School by

Thank you to everyone involved in giving our Year 6 leavers a wonderful end of year treat today.  We enjoyed trampolines in Morecombe and an ice cream at Happy Mount Park in the rain; before heading back to school to put on our party outfits.  Year 5 Tea Club, with the help of Mrs Mason, Mrs Coker and Mrs Wadey, had made us the most scrumptious meal of pizza and salad followed by an ice cream and strawberry sundae.  Delicious!

 

Huge thanks also to FOLS for funding our trip to Morecombe.  Lifelong memories of fun with friends at the end of their primary days will stay with them all forever!

 

Observational Drawings of Chicks

 in Bowfell / Whole School by

This morning, Nursery, Reception and Year 1 worked really quietly and carefully creating observational drawings of our growing chicks.  It was really tricky because they were constantly moving and fluttering around.  We tried to include some important details in our drawings so that they will look beautiful in a display in our classroom.

Hockey County Finals

Last Wednesday we went to the HOCKEY COUNTY FINALS!! We lost one game, won two games and drew one game. After that we had a excellent feast for lunch and played more hockey games. We got some special slap bands, drink bottles, pens, special county final t shirts and notebooks. It was a wonderful experience – thank you Mrs Wadey, Mrs Craggs and all the parents who supported Levens. By PBT and IT

Last day at Lockerbie

 in Scafell / Whole School by

On our last day at Lockerbie, we enjoyed a mess around on the water in canoes and kayaks; followed by everyone  jumping in for some serious splashing – Miss Dawson and Mrs Farraday included.  Thank you Lockerbie Manor: we had an amazing time!

Lockerbie Residential in the sunshine

 in Scafell / Whole School by

Here’s just a few of the photographs from our fantastic trip away to Lockerbie Manor last week with year 5 &6.  We set off to Caelaverock Castle in Dumbfries on Wednesday morning after saying farewell to all our ‘tearful’ parents!  Once we arrived, we enjoyed a relaxing picnic in the shade, explored the castle and the grounds and even managed to do some careful line drawings of some of the interesting details in the castle grounds.

 

We then headed on to the manor for our action-packed adventure to begin.  We started with lots of team games and challenges before enjoying our evening meal and a wonderful walk up the surrounding hillsides.  Our second day of fun included climbing, low-ropes, survival and camp craft.  We had a delicious BBQ in the evening before our disco.

Our last day of the trip was spent kayaking and canoeing….. watch this space for more photos coming soon!
