The charity Action for Children visited this week to support the children to develop resilience and learn strategies to bounce back from challenging situations. It was a perfect time to reflect on the last two years. The children were helped to realise that negative feelings and anxiety is normal and experienced by everyone. They learned about the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and had chance to talk. It was also good fun and the children behaved excellently.
We are looking forward to our second visit next week.

Mr Souter did not disappoint, as he joined us for the final time this year. Mr Souter works for a charity “Debt Aware” and payed us this visit to teach us about banking, interest, and all the different ways there are to pay for things.

Local artist Dave Rob visited us yesterday. We had looked at his work during the Autumn Term when we were learning about the UK and focusing on landmarks. Dave has created a lot of work based around local landmarks and some of his work is on sale locally.
Dave talked to us about how he became an artist, shared the passion he has for his job and helped us understand graphic design.
He worked with us for the afternoon to create a piece of art work. You can see what we are working on in the photos. We had a great time and are looking forward to Dave coming back before the end of the half term.

Year 5 had a visit from a familiar friend - Harold!

Rainforests: essential or desireable?
As part of our work this half term, we have been getting to know our trees well and taking more care of our environment. As part of our homework we have been making bird feeders and pompoms to decorate the tree we have got to know the best. It didn't take long before the birds began to visit. Here are a few of the decorations you will see when in the school playground.

Listen to our performance showcasing all our brass instrument learning this year!
Date: 22nd Apr 2022 @ 9:32am
We launched our new Big Question this week: Rainforests - essential or desirable? We began our launch by getting to know the trees in our school environment - we used all our senses to explore them and even located our tree by feel only whilst being blindfolded! One of the reasons we decided trees were essential was because of their importance in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere so our second task was to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide stored in our tree to work out just how useful it was to us at our school.

We have had a fabulous drama day at Burnley Youth Theatre with our linking school Yealand C of E Primary School.

In Science today we investigated the usefulness of friction in every day by completing a jelly challenge - can you move all the jelly cubes from one plate to another using chopsticks? Repeat the task but this time the jelly cubes are covered in oil! We then used our findings to design new walking boots for Bear Grylls to assist him in walking up an icy mountain.
