Another busy day ahead of us, we all get up and dressed and went to get some breakfast. I think there was some slight regret of staying in the pool so late the previous night as we had some very tired and grumpy pupils (and staff!) on Thursday morning.

Our morning activity was the outdoor…

Another early start for the staff and pupils on Wednesday morning. The weather forecast said rain all day so we weren't holding out much hope for any sunshine.

Off we trotted for breakfast and filled our bodies ready for the day ahead.

We hopped into the minibus with Lou and drove into the…

Tuesday morning arrived quickly and we were all up bright and early, ready to start the day with a hearty breakfast. It is very easy for us to say that the food at Calvert Trust is out of this world! We had a choice of cereal and fruit and toast, accompanied with a cooked breakfast of bacon, eggs…

I think it is safe to say that there was a buzz of excitement in class that Monday morning! A mixture of nerves, excitement and anticipation. Lots of pupils (and staff) being in the Yellow Zone for a range of reasons.

The morning definitely dragged and we were wishing the time away ready for…

Sycamore class, Willow class and some of our friends in Rowan class had a brilliant morning with some special guests from St Ambrose Players. The children enjoyed a morning filled with singing and dancing as our friends performed us snippets from their Pantomime ‘Journey to the Centre of the…

Last week the theme in Beech Class was ‘The Three Little Pigs’. 
We did a ‘What’s in the box’ where Miss made printed houses and then sprinkled straw on house number 1, placed sticks on house number 2, and built bricks on house number 3. 
We made the most of the dry weather and went for lots of…

8P are starting to feel very festive now that December is here!

Our learners have noticed that they now need a coat on their daily weather walk because it is much colder. They have also noticed that we haven’t had any sunny days this week, but instead there were lots of cloudy days and…

Hello everyone. It’s safe to say that everyone is still adjusting to life back in school after our amazing week at Calvert Trust last week (pupils and staff!). We’ve had lots of tired pupils so we have taken things easy in class this week. We’ve still stuck to our usual routines, Eshan has been…

9A had their second Share Our Learning event of this term on Tuesday this week! We had two mums and one grandma join us for a fun afternoon of My Thinking and Problem Solving. 

We learnt how to follow instructions in order to make blueberry milkshakes and how to follow instructions to make…

11G were very lucky this week to go to a pantomime at The Empire Theatre, Blackburn. We watched Cinderella, we were all very excited and some of us were a little nervous as we hadn’t been to the theatre before. 

We all had great fun, it was very funny especially the ugly sisters and…

Yesterday 7A had a fabulous time at Astley hall, looking around the rooms and discovering how people used to live hundreds of years ago. 
We talked to the guides who were very interesting and informative and we also got to make some paper houses using glue and scissors.

It was really lovely…

What a day we had at Chill Factore! 
 

7P went to spend some time on the slopes at Chill Factore. This was so we could experience real snow for our weather topic. We had a go at downhill donuts and sledging! Fun was had by all, even with playing with the snow at the bottom! A couple of the…
