CHRISTMAS DINNER DAY!
Thanks to our amazing kitchen staff for a delicious Christmas dinner.
GREAT SCIENCE SHARE 2023
This year we have been taking part in a project funded by The Royal Society. This has involved the eco councillors and science ambassadors working together to design and build a bug hotel. The project started back in January, when our STEM ambassador, Dr Aaron English came to school to help us survey our school grounds to find a suitable location. This was followed by a trip to Martin Mere WWT, back in February, to see the world’s largest bug hotel and find out how it was built.
Back in school, we were busy designing it and now, thanks to the amazing skills and the donation of time and resources from one of our parents and his company, MPM Timber, we have a fantastic bug hotel within our school grounds. All of the children have been involved in making some nature pods to fill it, thanks to the resources kindly donated by local joiners James Thorpe and Sons and we have our fantastic sign, made by Ainsley signs in Middleton, using our winning design by Lydia Crossley in year 4.
We are all looking forward to seeing how much more wildlife is attracted to our school grounds and the different learning opportunities this feature brings. We are planning on planting wild flowers around it and have a smaller bug hotel made from pallets to be filled throughout the year.
As part of the project, each class was involved in investigating a question linked to our bug hotel or asked to make resources which could be used with it. All of our learning was presented to Dr English, when he came into school to open the bug hotel, ‘Bugingham Palace’.

Book Swap!
Take a look at some of our photos from across the school on world book day. A massive thank-you to everyone who brought books in to swap. The book swap was a massive hit with all children… “wow this is like a free book shop with hot chocolate and treats!” (Unnamed child in y1)
