Oaklands Care Home Visit

18th June 2025Joshua Meade

It was lovely to take some of our crew coin winners to visit a local care home this morning. The children enjoyed sharing stories, listening to stories and make the elderly community smile. We met a special four legged visitor too! #LovePlover

We are making fossils…

15th June 2025Mrs Haycock

Year 3 have set up an experiment to help them understand fossils and how they are formed. I wonder what they will discover when they finally uncover their buried specimens.

Exploring Outdoors

15th June 2025Joshua Meade

We love being outside! The children went on a mini beast hunt. They helped to sieve and brush up the sand. We did a litter pick. Enjoyed playing on the balance bikes. Tommy, Frederick and Jacoby created some cool aeroplanes and cars using the building blocks. #LovePlover

Y2 Yorkshire Air Museum

13th June 2025Mrs Lewis

Year 2 have had a brilliant day learning about the history of flight. We enjoyed looking at planes, learning about jet engines and making our own helicopters. We came face to face with models of the Wright Flier, Halifax bombers, Hurricanes and Spitfires. We saw parts from Concorde and found out about a pioneering pilot called Amy Johnson.

We had a wonderful time in the sunshine and we’re sure Year 1 are going to have a great time too.

We’d like to thank the staff at the Air Museum for a great day and thank the children for their brilliant behaviour.
