Year 5 are currently looking at local history, with a focus on the impact of WW2 on Chorley.

The children are already showing a great deal of enthusiasm for the topic so it would be great if they could do some research at home about the changes that took place within the community.

Today we have been learning about children's lives in Victorian times.We looked at the different jobs that children as young as 5 did. We found out that a lot of children worked on the streets and sold things like firewood, buttons and boot laces. Some children also worked as chimney sweeping or…

After playing in the snow we have written some fantastic personification poems.

The Snow

As he tickled, played and swerved,

he finally stumbled to the ground.

The mob of flakes are…

We welcomed Danny from Asda into Reception Class this week. Danny talked to us about fruit and we tried seven different fruits including lime and passion fruit. Some of the fruits were more popular than others! We are enjoying learning about food and healthy eating this term. Next week we will…

We also talked about the symbolism of Easter eggs and how…

This half  term Year Two have been enjoying learning new gymnastic skills with Mrs Smith. Can you spot the bear walk, caterpillar crawl, crab and bunny hop? The children had to make a sequence on the mats from everything they have learnt during the lessons. Well done year Two!

It definitely feels like Spring is here! 

This week we have been thinking about Spring and the signs of new life. We went outside to see how things are changing. We discovered daffodils and other spring flowers, lots of buds and shoot, we spotted birds buidling their nests and we even spotted a…

We just thought we would add some of the pictures of our monster designs and the models we made during World Book Week.

We are very proud of our monsters and really enjoyed making them. 

We also created a class monster from the descriptions we wrote in English! We're keeping it in class for…
