Afterwards, we went into the Sealife Centre to find out more about the creatures that live near and on the coast. Did you know that start fish can grow their tentacle's back? After lunch, we had a lovely walk along the pier to see the many attractions Blackpool has to offer.

In the morning, we went to the Sealife Centre and saw lots of interesting animals. Unfortunately, the underwater tunnel was closed. 

After lunch, we went paddling and played on the beach - wiriting names, building sand castles and fishing in the pool. The tide came in an hour and half early and we had to cut short our time on the beach. The coast guards came and spoke to us about the tide. We then had a walk along the pier to finish the day.

Computing- digital music, by Mrs Bradley

Date: 18th May 2026 @ 3:10pm

This half term, Year 2 have been learning about digital music in Computing. The children began by listening to different pieces of music designed to represent planets and their characteristics, such as calm, mysterious, or turbulent. They discussed how the music made them feel and thought of descriptive words to match the different sounds and moods.

The children then used Chrome Music Lab to explore how music can be created digitally. Using shapes and patterns, they experimented with creating their own musical sounds and enjoyed discovering how different choices could change the rhythm, pitch, and mood of the music.

Sir David Attenborough Day, by Miss Healey

Date: 14th May 2026 @ 12:01pm

For Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday we had a day devoted to him and the wonderful things he has done for this world. We read a book all about climate change and learned of the dangers of forest fires in the Australian wild. We looked specifically at the risk to Koala's and what can be done for them. We looked at their life cycle (linking back to other Science learning this year) and then had a go at recreating some of the art work in the book.

Workshop with Lucy Brierly about Jesus' way of living, by Miss Healey

Date: 14th May 2026 @ 11:46am

We had a visit from Lucy this week! She came in to talk to us all about our new RE topic, and reminded us with the parable of the Good Samaritan, what would Jesus do? We looked at our day and made a clock with a paper plate, we wrote about what things we get up to day to day and how we could improve these with the guidance of Jesus. We then planned how we would tell a younger class of Year 1 children what we had learnt this day.

RHE: Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, by Mrs Perry

Date: 13th May 2026 @ 3:58pm

The session began in the hall, where the children had plenty of space to move freely as they explored the different ways their bodies can move. It started with an imaginative story about Freddy Teddy and Mollie the Cat going on a morning walk, during which the children acted out movements such as stretching, walking, jumping, and bending. This playful introduction helped them become more aware of their physical abilities in an engaging and enjoyable way. As the session continued, the children were encouraged to reflect on how special and unique their bodies are, recognising them as wonderful, God-given gifts.

Sir David Attenborough 100th birthday celebrations, by Mrs Williams

Date: 11th May 2026 @ 3:42pm

On Friday, we celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. We learned about who he is and all the wonderful things he has done to help save our planet and teach people how important it is to care for the Earth. We linked our learning to God’s creation, remembering that God created humans on Day 6 to look after and care for His wonderful world. Our learning also linked to the book Duffy's Great Escape, which tells the story of a sea turtle who ate a plastic bag in the ocean. Our classroom was transformed into an ocean and beach filled with rubbish that had been thrown into the sea. We created sea turtles using 2D and 3D shapes and went outside to learn about the life cycle of a sea turtle. We have all made a pledge to help save sea turtles and look after our planet.

Sir David Attenborough Day!, by Miss Hirst

Date: 8th May 2026 @ 3:18pm

Today we celebrated Sir David Attenborough's 100th Birthday! We started off with an assembly and then read a story 'Nelson's Dangerous Dive'. The story that year 4 read was about a whale and told us about the real life issues of ghost fishing nets! We spoke about these issues and looked at how the whale was feeling when he was trapped and when he was freed. We then completed some exciting activities linked to our whale story. We researched whale facts and created a fact file. We answered questions such as 'what do they eat?, how big do they grow?, how much do they weigh?, what is the lifespan of whales?. We then created some amazing documentaries of our own on imovie and created a voice over for one of the whale videos from one of David Attenborough's documentaries! We also created some lovely water-colour paintings today by painting one side of a whale. We also listened to the picture news live assembly celebrating Sir David Attenborough's birthday. We learnt lots today! Well done 4H!

Today, we celebrated David Attenborough's birthday and all of the amazing things which he has done! We had an assembly this morning telling us more about him. Then, we spent the day doing lots of fantastic activities. We read the book 'Nelson's Dangerous Dive' which was all about the problems of ghost fishing and whales. Using this knowledge, we then created our own fact files on whales! Next, we had to finish a picture of a whale, there are definitely some future artsts in year 4! We also had to channel our inner David and create a voice overs!
