Year 6 have planned a series of computer programming lessons which they will be delivering to Year 1 throughout the coming weeks.

Splashing about in the river........, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 9th May 2016 @ 3:43pm
The Bears had a fabulous time studying the River Lostock, we caught some interesting "critters" in the river, we measured how fast the river was flowing, using ducks. We also learnt some new river vocabulary , meander, deposit action, transportation are some examples. This afternoon we carried out some panning, ( unfortunately no gold!) and looked at how the river had changed the appearance of the stones and rocks. We also had a raft race and measured how wide and deep the river was. A fantastic day, helped by the weather, some very weary Bears returned back to school!
