Autumn Term message from Mrs Kelly: 

Welcome to the new school year! This term we will be doing lots of exciting, new learning. 

Our 'knowledge rich project' will be 'Through the Ages'' and we will be doing some interesting history work all about the Stone, Bronze and iron age, including learning about everyday life and studying artefacts.

As part of our Science topic on Animal Nutrition and the Skeletal system, we are planning a trip to Blackpool Zoo. 

This term we will also be beginning to prepare for our Let's Go Sing Performance in the Spring term. This year this is to be held at Blackpool Winter Gardens and we hope you come along to support and enjoy the performance. Before Christmas, children will be learningto play the recorders during their music lessons.

This is just a snap shot of what lies ahead!

Please take a look at the documents below so you can find out more about what we will be learning. 

If you have any questions at all - please do ask!
