This week started with Picture News again. This week we had to think answer the question 'Should you be allowed to build homes anywhere?'. We talked about what it would be like if people started to build houses in the middle of the track or in the middle of Astley Park. We also thought about what…

On Friday some of Sycamore Class went to a Boccia competition at All Seasons Sports Centre in Chorley.

They worked really hard and represented Astley Park so well, we are so proud of them! 
 

They cheered on all the other schools in the competition and we wracked up loads of points when it…

We’ve had a fantastic first week back in 9P! 

On Monday, we did Phonics, Picture News and PSHE in the morning. They did really well in their decision making activities linked to road safety and social skills. We also made a group decision on where we want to go on our reward class trip before…

Welcome back to Spring term 1 - if we thought last term was busy, we have another thing coming this term! 

This week started with Picture News. This week starts the annual Birdwatch, ran by the RSPB. We looked at what the Birdwatch involves and thought about why it is important to track bird…

9P have had a fantastic last two weeks of term! We have been to the cinema to watch Moana 2 as our belated Autumn 1 reward trip and we’ve been to Chill Factor and McDonald’s for our Autumn 2 reward trip. The children behaved amazingly on both trips and we had such a fantastic time! 
 

They…

Today for our final adventure we visited Kingsdale for some rock scrambling and caving at Yordas Cave. We applied the skills we had learnt on the indoor climbing wall and indoor abseiling in the real world! Once again, everyone worked together as a team to help and support each other face…

Today, after a pancake breakfast, we have had a fantastic day canoeing on Ulnswater lake. Everybody worked in their teams to travel around the lake and we enjoyed some team games that were lots of fun. Some of us were brave enough to stand up on the canoes to do head, shoulders, knees and toes and…

11A have had a fabulous start to the week at Bendrigg. 

When we arrived yesterday, the pupils all independently made their beds, unpacked and settled into their rooms. We then enjoyed jacket potato for lunch to fuel us up before an afternoon of archery and bike riding. A special shout out to…

7P went bowling.

On Friday, all of 7P learners and staff members were lucky enough to be able to go bowling at the Escape in Chorley.

We had two teams of five and what fun everyone had. We even had a couple of “strikes” from the learners. 

We saw some amazing turn taking throughout…

On Monday morning we learnt about Remembrance Day. We talked about why we commemorate Remembrance Day and what happens on each year on the 11th November. We then went down to the cage at 11 o'clock to listen to Mrs Chaloner playing the Last Post on her trumpet. The whole class were very…

Welcome back to Autumn 2 - this will be a long term with lots of exciting things happening along the way, leading up to Christmas! As I forgot to publish the blog at the end of last term, some of the photos are of our last week in term 1 - apologies! 

The week started off with us making some…

This week in English, we thought of a place we would like to visit on holiday and created a word bank to describe it. We then used these words to tell our families about our holiday on a postcard. We had to be sure to not write too much, as postcards aren't very big, but I think we all got across…
