A brilliant afternoon at Furness Academy. Year 5 were amazing as always 

Year 3 enjoyed the ballet workshop last week. They explored the ugly duckling and moving over, under and round and creating their own performance. 
 

Year 5 and 6 gardeners had fun doing a litter pick around school grounds. 

Year 4 enjoyed practising serving in tennis today. 

This week we started our tree planting workshops with Heather Pennick as part of the Art Gene programme running. We planted 2 apple trees and 11 cherry trees in our school field. It will take approximately 3 years before fruit will begin to grow! The children thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon…

We had a fantastic morning learning about RND and having our work experience students paint our noses.

The children enjoyed getting outside for PE. We looked at the skills of dribbling, pushing and controlling the ball in hockey! Great teamwork. 
 

We love starting our PE sessions with some quick recall in mathematics! Today we played the quick draw game when we had to shoot with a number. Our friend then had to fire back with the matching bond to 10. Great work year 2!

Year 6 enjoyed a visit to Furness College where they explored different stalls and took part in various experiments and activities.  All the children were keen to get involved and learn; we definitely have some future engineers and scientists among us!  The afternoon concluded with a wacky science…

Thank you to Tish and Catherine from the Wordsworth Trust for our drama and language workshops today. 

Tiny year 5 children at secondary school! We had a brilliant day at UVHS. Thank you to all the staff there and our wonderfully behaved children.

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed wheelchair basketball. Lots of goals scored and fun had.
