Pre-School - Transport
In Understanding the world this week we have looked at old and new transport. We looked at different pictures of new transport and we recognised a lot of them but then we looked at old transport pictures and how they used to be. The children picked out features and questioned why it was like that. We then played a matching game with the objects and pictures.
Year 2 History - Comparing Buildings
In our History lesson today we are looking at how different our town looks 100 years ago compared to how it looks today. Year 2 are working in teams to create a timeline of old buildings to new buildings.

Y6 History - Vikings
This afternoon Year 6 looked for evidence about the Vikings around the classroom, to discover all about who the Vikings really were, and if they really were as bloodthirsty and mean as we had thought!
Explorers Exhibition - Reception Class Visit
Throughout today, Reception class have been in small groups to visit our 'Explorers Exhibition' that was kindly set up by Mrs Thompson. The children have thoroughly enjoyed looking at the different items and learning about some of the more obscure objects. The children had some very good ideas and opinions about the items set out. Ask them about some of their favourite pieces of exploration equipment or memorabilia when they get home.
Year 5 - Archaeology
Today Year 5 have become part of Basil Browns archaeologist team and investigated the empty grave. They dug through the graves to find clues and tried to work out who the grave could have belonged to. It was great fun and the children showed off their teamwork skills.
Year 4 - An Action Packed Week.
Year 4 have had another busy and action packed week. Some of our highlights this week include: identifying and finding plants, spending our tokens in our first ever visit at the school's shop, being a human boat in a storm (!) and finding historical evidence to decide whether Theseus and the Minotaur really did happen.
Y4 Trip to Ribchester Roman Museum.
Year 4 had a fantastic day in Ribchester, visiting the Roman Museum. We learnt lots about the Romans and held some Roman artefacts that were over 2000 year old! We all had the chance to wear Roman armour and we held some deadly weapons! We loved exploring the museum and looking at the remains of the Roman fort.
The Gunpowder Plot - Y2
Year 2 have been learning about Parliament today and watched a video about the Gunpowder Plot. We have created our own rockets but we haven't used any gunpowder!
Y6 - Vikings!
Today Year 6 have had an interesting lesson looking at a “gallery” of Viking archaeological finds and deciding how it shows that the Vikings were actually very different to their fierce image!
