Geography: Exploring Zambia. We recapped the continents and oceans before locating Zambia on our globes and atlases. The children discovered it is part of Africa. We look forward to comparing Zambia with our local area, Mill Hill, over the coming weeks.

Year 1 visited church to learn about baptism with Reverend Alice. We staged a ceremony with Baby Lily, exploring the font and the roles involved. Lily even received a certificate and candle! Thank you, Reverend Alice for making our learning fun!

A lovely worship today led by Rev Alice all about yeast and how we can all grow in God’s likeness. We enjoyed lots of reflections and singing.

Year 1 won last week’s attendance mystery prize! To celebrate, we enjoyed homemade strawberry ice cream in the sun. We’re still leading the race by being HEROes (Here, Every day, Ready, On time). Thank you to parents for your continued support.

Art - Last week we created tessellating patterns by making our own shapes. Once we had completed these patterns we used our own colours to continue the pattern.

Know It Week We’ve been busy testing out our sticky knowledge. We did a google quiz which marked our answers as we went so we all got instant feedback on our learning.

Reception working really hard in Pen party - recapping our letter formations for our phonics sounds.

In Maths, we have been learning about shapes , rotating them to solve puzzles and creating shape pictures! Reception did a fantastic job at making their own shape pictures.

We have been learning about the different seasons and what to expect in each. To secure our learning we went on a Spring Walk, we found flowers, trees, leaves and insects that we would expect at this time.

Well done Ariana our star of the week!

We visited church and completed 3 different activities to remember and celebrate 100 years of Blackburn Diocese. We learnt about Bishop William Temple and completed our Blackpool Beach Mission! Thank you Reverend Alice and the church for a lovely event.

Fantastic balancing in PE!
