Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic computing lesson last week getting to grips with Spheros. These will be great to extend and transfer computing skills.

Everybody really enjoyed our visit from the Cumbria Music Service Ensemble today. The children got to listen to the ensemble play, learn about different instruments, play some instruments and did a bit of singing and dancing too!

Mr Russell from Cartmel Secondary School came in this morning to teach Science. The children performed several seemingly simple tasks; once with thumbs free and once with their thumbs taped. The children found out that thumbs are brilliant!

We were so proud to perform our dance this week at the Dance Platform at Ulverston Victoria High School. All of the children did really well and lots of the audience were moving in their seats to the music!

Year 5 and 6 recapped what they have learnt about sound this half term by creating a presentation to explain how their instrument produced sound, how to change the pitch and how to change the volume.

We had such a great time at Young Voices on Thursday.

KS2 did practical maths today to measure capacity and length. Year 3 and 4 made paper aeroplanes and measured the distance they traveled. Meanwhile, others used their capacity skills to measure potions!

This week we learnt some salsa steps for our Brazilian dance!

This afternoon, we were inspired by Ansel Adam’s black and white photography. Using textured black and white paper, we created our own North American landscapes.

Year 5 and 6 really enjoyed learning how sound traveled through practical activities today!
