It’s been an exceptionally enjoyable Summer Term. As restrictions began to ease we were able to resume school trips. Our first was when our Juniors climbed Binsey and Mr Rennie shared his knowledge of the fells in his guided tour. We really enjoyed the picnic we had at the summit. Our infant children completed the ‘fairy walk’ at Maryport and then enjoyed their trip to Allonby beach. Our whole school trip to Tullie House to see the Driggsby exhibition was fascinating and we enjoyed the interactive displays. Year 3,4,5 and 6 also had a day trip to Brockhole and had so much fun on the tree top nets.
Year 2 have had their block of learning in the forest and they enjoyed exploring the forest and stream as well as taking part in campfire cooking and forest crafts.
Because we haven’t been able to take part in sports tournaments with other schools we have done this virtually, participating in netball, multi skills, skipping and football. We held our annual Sport’s Day and everyone competed well, scoring points for their teams.
Our themed morning this term was on ‘Buddhism’ and we made prayer flags and lanterns as well as taking part in meditation and drama, acting out the story of Buddha.
Year 6 children enjoyed a farewell forest experience where they took part in campfire cooking, team games and tested out the new hammocks. At St Cuthbert’s Church, Plumbland, we had a worship time with Reverend Banks and Reverend Gilroy, where we reflected on our positive memories from the last year. We said farewell to our year 6 children: Eva, Ellen, Sarah, Harry, Ebony, Finley, Owain, Kayleigh and Charlie in our Leaver’s service and we wish them well for their new schools.
