A few weeks ago, Year 1 children spent a morning designing their own houses out of Lego. They had spent time in the previous weeks walking around the local streets studying the different styles of houses and finding out how housing styles can change with time. Year 1 had studied the materials used to build houses and talked about why these are used. They then imported several thousand Lego bricks and every child built a house, complete with working lights! Finally the houses were all put together to form a village. Some of the finished models are featured below.
What style of house would you live in and why?
What feature would your dream house have and why?

Caitlin, Alex, George and Kian would like to remind us of a famous story from a famous book.
What would you have asked for and why? Be careful, remember in another story, King Midas asked for everything he touched to be turned into gold but he had not thought things through!

Could you tell us about any walks you have done around our area. Tell us about walks in the Pennines or the Dales. My favourite is a place called Coniston which is near Kettlewell. I love to walk through the peaceful dales and I really enjoy the rocky gorge at the end.

Calling all intrepid Rainforest explorers!
In Year 4, we have just started our new topic this week and Miss Samtaney and I would like to know what you already know about Rainforests!
Add a comment on this post with a fact that you already know about Rainforests. You could also post a question with something you would really like to found out about during our topic. We will keep checking the blog during our lessons and see if we can answer all the questions by the end of this half term.
We hope everyone is looking forward to our visit to the South Lakes Animal Park at the end of March!
Year 5 – Can you use all your knowledge of time that we have learned this week to help release the bio-rods so the evil roboids cannot re-power themselves.
Post your comments to let me and Mr Hodgson know how you have got on.
Good luck!
Recently Year 3 held a pirate week and finished the week by dressing as pirates. They made maps, treasure chests and ship’s biscuits (without the weevils). They wrote pirate stories and sang sea shanties. They worked at home too and their parents helped them to build the finest set of pirate galleons ever to sail the high seas. There is a small selection of pictures below to give you a flavour of the swashbuckling that went on.

If you are in Year 3, post a comment to tell us what you learned during your pirate topic.
Molly has been gathering facts for Today, Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday..
Shrove Tuesday started in 112AD.
The traditional topping for pancakes is a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of sugar.
Basically sweet and sour (yum,yum,yum).
People wanted to get rid of food before they fasted in Lent (40 days before Easter) so pancakes were made from the milk, eggs, flour, sugar and lemons.
How did you celebrate Shrove Tuesday? What was your favourite pancake topping?
