As part of CMHW, Year 6 went on a 4 mile walk this afternoon in the surroundings areas of school. It was a little muddy but we had a great time and the children loved the fact that they just got to talk all afternoon about lots of things! The children were great and we loved it! Thanks Year 6!

As part of our Children Mental Health and Well-being activities, some classes took part in a mindfulness session with coach Matt today. They loved it!

Today, Year Four visited Bolton Museum as part of their topic work about Ancient Egypt. In the morning, they did a trail around the aquarium, museum and art gallery. In the afternoon, they took part in an Egyptian workshop and explored the Egyptian artefacts. They made a timeline showing how long ago it was since the start of the Ancient Egyptian civilisation, learnt about mummification and the afterlife, sacrificed one of the children, checked whether Miss Lopiccolo had a good heart and could get to the afterlife, and saw lots of genuine Egyptian artefacts, including two real life mummies!

The museum is free to visit (not including the workshop activities which are part of their education programme), and they will be having a special exhibition about dinosaurs during half-term if you're looking for ideas for a day out!

As part of our DT work in our Heroes and Villains topic, Year 6 have this week created a healthy meal to compliment their work on healthy eating. They had great fun preparing, making fajitas and and apple crumble and even did the washing up! The addition of ice cream to the crumble was an added bonus!

The Police came to visit Reception and Pre-School today. They told us all about how they help us, their uniform and the animals who help them too. We had a go in their police car and switched on the lights and sirens!

How exciting
