Hothersall Lodge Day 2, by Mr Monckton
Date: 28th Jun 2016 @ 6:58pm
It has been an action packed day today. We had breakfast this morning which was delicious and then we split off into two groups. One group went up to Becon Fell this morning for orienteering and the other group had survival skills with Jack. We then swapped over this afternoon (which is when we got a little soggy due to the weather) then we had an amazing dinner of Chilli Con Carne. Mrs Brown and Mr Pearson visited us this evening and we visited the tuck shop, took part in Mrs Ainsworth's famous bin bag fashion and had a really nice evening.

Chester Zoo, by Miss Adamson

We loved our trip to Chester Zoo! It was brilliant to see the animals and butterflies although I think the dinosaurs may have been the biggest hit! Thank you ever so much to Mr Hackett, Mitch, Mrs McKerney and Sandye for making sure it was a fantastic day!

Scientists in the Year 3000, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 24th Jun 2016 @ 1:59pm
In our science lessons this week the children have been showing off their scientific knowledge.
We moved forward in time to the Year 3000 and become scientists with the skills and knowledge to create new species of animals. A team of scientists had already created brand new planets for the animals to live on so the hardest part of the task was making sure that our new animals had the correct body features to survive. The results were great, brand new animals with brilliant mixes of body parts. A real showcase of our scientific knowledge !

Super Science, by Mr Monckton
Date: 23rd Jun 2016 @ 11:52am
Whilst we have been biking this week with our visitors, some of us have been learning about the life cycles of different animals. We went into the computer room and creatively thought of different ways we could present our information. These ranged from power points to scratch projects. They looked amazing.
Tigers and the European Referendum, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 23rd Jun 2016 @ 12:20am
This week, the Tigers have been looking at the European Union and some basic details about the referendum and the campaign for staying in and leaving. They completed a reading comprehension looking at both sides of the argument and thought about what it may mean for themselves and the country in the future. I was very impressed by how much information they already knew and their level of interest in it. They realised it was difficult to think about which side was most effective and how voting may be hard for some people.
In English, they looked at both sides and wrote a balanced report. I was again very impressed with their structure, features and reasoned viewpoints.
At the end of the day, we had a secret ballot on how they would vote if they could and 23 pupils voted for remain, 8 pupils voted to leave and we discussed 1 ballot paper as that Tiger had put a cross in both boxes and so we discussed it would not be accepted.
I hope that this helps the Tigets be able to engage in discussions at a home and can follow the coverage from Thursday on this important vote.
Year 6 will be conducting a debate in assembly on Thursday.

Awards.... Awards..... Everywhere!, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 22nd Jun 2016 @ 5:41pm
We had a very special assembly today as we welcomed Steven Jackson from Community Education Awards to our school to present Mr Pearson and the Enterprise year 6 group with the winning trophy for ' Money Management Award'. We were fortunate to be 'Highly Commended' for our sports leaders lunch time initiative, the digital leaders also and Mr Yates for 'Community Champion Award'.
Mr Turner also came ( along with the Lancashire Evening Post) to present us with the most money school raised for the Royal British Legion.
What an amazing achievement.
Unfortunately Seema Kennedy was ill and sent her apologies. We hope to ask her into school later in month as the School Parliament have some questions for her to help them with the job description for school council next year.

Giraffes at the zoo, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 20th Jun 2016 @ 8:25pm
On arrival at Chester Zoo it was raining quite heavily but it didn't dampen the excitement. Our first stop was the elephant enclosure where we enjoyed looking at the animals, especially the 10 month old baby. Whilst looking at the animals we listened to the keeper who told us that elephants have 40000 muscles in their trunks!
We also enjoyed seeing our namesakes the beautifully graceful giraffes. Our journey around the zoo let us see many wonderful animals. It really has been a great day out 😀
Tigers meet the tigers, by Mrs Moxham

A great day was had by all at Chester Zoo today. Mason and Oliver B wrote a short account of their favourite part of the day.
Bat house by Mason and Oliver B
When we walked in it was very dark and bats were flying all around. There were some small ones and they used a laser to show us them hanging from the ceiling. In the cave, the smell of bat we was really bad and some children were scared of them flying around. One of them flew right into us and one even tried to fly out through the exit. Luckily there was a triple door so they couldn't get outside.
Unlike us, the Tigers at the zoo were very lazy and just led there- sitting on the rock. We, on the other hand, were racing around looking at all the great animals.

What a fantastic day had by all. We got a bit wet at the start but it got better and better as the day went on. We had a lot of very tired children on the way home.💤😴
