Caption: Exploring the new forest schools area.
Today Year 2 had a fabulous time exploring our new forest schools area. They hunted around to see what insects they could find and were delighted when they found worms, snails, lady birds, slugs and even the odd woodlouse. We then made use of all the natural materials to create bug houses for any creepy crawlies looking for a new place to live.

Key Stage 2 children from Dean Gibson represented the school at the KCP girls' football festival at Vicarage Park School on Monday afternoon. The children performed admirably on a bitterly cold day. The year 3&4 team won two games and lost one, which enabled them to qualify for the final. In the final, the team narrowly lost out 1-0 to Vicarage Park School. The year 5 team won two and drew three games, while the year 6 team won all their group games, helping them to qualify for the final. In the final, the year 6 girls drew the match. Well done to all the girls who were involved! A special thank you to Mrs Musone, Mrs Corbett, Mr Burnett, Ms Davidson and Mr Rairata for helping on the day.

Just before Christmas everyone recieved instructions on how to reduce the amount of plastic they put into their bins through creating ecobricks. This is where plastic bottles are filled with squishy plastic to make them as solid as bricks. Everyday bricks have been arriving in school so thank you to everyone for their efforts. On Wednesday morning there will be an assembly in school to not only demonstrate how to make them but to also explain how we will be using them in school.

Year 5 and 6 children participated in a tag rugby festival, hosted by Kirkby Lonsdale Rugby Club. The event gave the children the opportunity to hone the skills learnt in the Monday after school club. The children played several games against many different schools and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you to Mrs Dinneen and Mrs Musone for helping.
