We hope you enjoy our Rainbow Flag design incorporating the AP logo. We enjoyed the parade around school looking at everybody’s designs. We…

Well what a great first week back in the sunshine we’ve had. Our vegetables and herbs have really grown and some were even ready for picking. Look at our radishes!

We began our week with our swimming lessons back at Hindley and  then drove straight to Lytham St Anne’s beach. We made sure we had…

Well we’ve  made it through to half term and it looks like the sun is going to shine for us all to have a well earned rest. What a very busy week we’ve have despite it being a 4 day week for the pupils. We’ve really enjoyed  making lots of junk modelling and have even continued to do this when we…

Well it’s almost the holiday week but Miss Bentham continues to work us hard. We have worked hard learning time and Miss Bentham tests us at every opportunity.

We were very lucky to have a visit from a Buddhist Monk who taught us how to meditate. This is something we can do everyday to help us…

Well that’s the last of the Bank Holiday weeks for us. We continue to get busy in 8A. Our whole class trips took us to Astley Park this week. The weather was kind to us as we walked there and enjoyed some time on the park. The clouds began to appear so we set off back to school to miss the rain.

Well we have made it to the end of term and had a lovely sharing our learning session with parents and carers this week. On Monday and Tuesday some parents and carers joined us for lunch at Seven Seas Fish and Chip Shop. Everyone who joined us enjoyed a chill and chat with each other and the…

Well what another wonderful week we have had in 8A. Miss Bentham has been working hard teaching us how to keep ourselves safe online. Some of the pupils were shocked to learn that Alexa listens to everything we say and will link to our phones or iPads to try and persuade us to buy things Alexa has…

Well this week began with a visit from Mr Welsh and Miss  Wells. They were able to watch us make predictions about our bodies. Can taller people jump the farthest? We measured everyone’s height and then got everyone to jump as far as they could and measured the distance. 8A made sure Mr Welsh and…
