• A visit from Blackburn Museum

  Mon 23 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  On Monday, Reception had an exciting visit from Theo’s granma (sic) who came from Blackburn Museum to talk to them about being a museum curator as part of their ‘people who help us’ topic.

  They looked at old wooden toys, new plastic versions of the same thing and then created their own cup and ball toy! Their challenge was to beat Jane Austen’s score of 30 catches in a row! I wonder if any made it…

  

• Year 2 Forest School

  Fri 20 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  Year 2 had a brilliant Forest School session today. They played the boundary game again and then went onto make small big houses for insects to hibernate/live in. They discussed the eco-system and how important they are to us!

• Reception Walk and Talk - 20th January 2023

  Thu 19 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  Reception and Preschool had a glorious Winter walk in the sunshine this afternoon. We met with our old alpaca friends Domino, Rocky, Duka and Rolo, looked for animal footprints (we spotted dogs and birds), and took in some beautiful views of Pendle Hill and Waddington Fell.

  

• Year 3 trip to Clitheroe Library

  Tue 17 Jan 2023 Mrs White

  The current theme in Year 3 is ‘There's No Place Like Home’.

  Today, the children went on a trip to Clitheroe Library. The library staff prepared a copy of the 1851 census of West Bradford and asked the children questions about it. They had also collected some objects from the past to show to the children. In addition, they had selected a passage from a book that details what life was like in our school in the 19th century to read to us. Also, they had photographs of school children from that time period and we all enjoyed looking at the WWB School Gardening Club of the late 1800s, the school orchestra (our musical tradition goes back a long way!) and a whole school photo showing one of the teachers holding a cat which was obviously the school pet.

  What a brilliant school trip!
