We have been reading a wonderful book called 'The Rabbits' by John Marsden and Shaun Tan. It has raised lots of moral issues and discussion and as per usual we have added some drama- above is how we imagine the possums would feel when they first catch sight of the rabbis. 

We have had a fantastic morning investigating maps, letters and other historical sources to find out about Alfred Wainwright and have also copied some his maps and sketches. Many thanks to Barrow Archives for a great morning. 

Year 4 are working with local artists to create some sound art!

Have a look at our photos

We visited the archives to research a day in the history of Barrow then made up our own story based on the events. On Monday we will be recording our stories.

A fab performance from Year 5 in Happy Christmas Tommy. I am so proud of you all. And thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and card. Please see the gallery for more photos.

We added a number of ingredients to make a marvellous medicine - inspired by Roald Dahl's story. Ingredients included baking soda, tomato sauce, jelly crystals, honey, mud, leaves, carrots, salt, vinegar and many more. As you can see, it did have a strange smell...

Don't forget, our musical about the Christmas truce in the trenches begins at 2:30pm in the hall today. 

Year 1 have been enjoying nursery rhyme week. On Tuesday afternoon we made some rock cakes to go with our rhyme - 5 currant buns. Thursday's rhyme is 'Old King Cole' and Friday's is 'Oranges and Lemons'.

Remember to dress-up year 1 on Friday as a nursery rhyme character!

We have been using classroom objects to print pictures. The choice was a robot, car or house. Which is this?

The new nursery had their concrete base laid.

A really lovely remembrance service today outside school. Well done everyone for the beautiful singing. 

Vicky has told the Eco councillors that the foundations are in place. Trenches have
been dug which have been filled with concrete. There will be a damp course in with
the bricks. On Tuesday they will lay the concrete on the damp course then they will
level the playground and dig the drains.…
