This half term our theme is Beside the seaside 

'Beside the seaside' is a thematic unit based  around the beach and coast, with a geography focus. Pupils will learn about key physical and human features of coastal places, and apply their learning to a study of Blackpool. Further map skills will be developed as part of this theme. They will also look at the beach and coast as a habitat for living things, learning more about how animals are adapted to their environment. 

 


Take a look at our curriculum letter above to find out what we will be learning about.

Blackpool Zoo

Last week we went on a trip to Blackpool Zoo. We saw lots of different wild animals and saw the types of habitats they live in. We had a great day , apart from when the seagulls tried to pinch our sandwiches at lunchtime!

Climbing Wall

We all had a turn on the climbing wall that came to school this week. Lots of us felt scared at first, but once we had had a go, we found our confidence and lots of us made it up to the very top! Some quotes from the day: "This is my best day ever!", "My knees are shaking", "I got all the way to the top, I am not scared anymore!".

History Day 2022
 

For our local study, we learned about a fellow Boltonian, Samuel Crompton. We learnt that he was the inventor of the Spinning Mule which was a machine that made it easier to produce cotton yarn and thread. In honour of Samuel Crompton, and the impact his invention had on the textile industry, we had a go at weaving. Take a look...

We Made Sandwiches!

As part of our Paddington's Passport theme unit, we decided that Paddington needed to try some different sandwich fillings, other than just marmalade. So we thought about different ingredients and we designed a new sandwich for him to try. We then made our sandwich and of course we had to test it out and evaluate whether it was good enough to give to Paddington.
