Year 6 - A Maya Mystery!

Date: 5th Oct 2023 @ 12:52pm

In today's history lesson we were given a mystery to solve. We were told the story of an archaeologist called Alberto Ruz, who spent time searching through Maya temples in the 1940s. In one of the temples he found evidence of a secret area under the base of the temple. After a long time trying to get into the space, he eventually opened up the hatch to reveal the resting place of the great Maya king Pacal. The children had to work out who this person could have been based on evidence from the tomb.

Today for Heritage Day, we were given the question: How has Basil Newby influenced the LGBTQ+ community in Blackpool?  To answer this, we looked at his life and how he became one of Blackpool's most successful entrepreneurs. This is due to him creating clubs and pubs that catered for the LGBTQ+ community. Basil owns and runs Funny Girls in town and we were visited by two of his employees, Alex and India. They gave us more background information about Basil and answered lots of questions that we had. We can't thank them enough for their time.

Year 6 - Wheelchair rugby

Date: 3rd Jul 2023 @ 9:23pm

During 'Health Week', Year 6 got to experience a brand new sport - wheelchair rugby. We all got to use a specially made wheelchair - these chairs have wheels that are titlted for speed and the front of the chair has a crash bar for when the wheelchairs bang into each other. We picked up quickly how to manoeuvre the chairs and how to bang into one another. As the session progressed, we learned how to take part in small team games, which included passing a rugby ball between players. We had a great time and left with an appreciation of how demanding the sport is!

YEAR 5 - School Nurse Visit

Date: 30th Jun 2023 @ 10:06am

Today, pupils in year 5 were visited by the school nurse. We learned about healthy eating and what different food groups provide for our bodies to use. Pupils then carried out an activity to investigate how much sugar was in some of their favourite snacks. 4g of sugar is equivalent to 1 tea spoon - the amount of sugar in some of the snacks was shocking. Pupils were surprised to find out how much sugar was in fruit juices and milkshakes... and even in flavoured water!

Year 2 Health Week

Date: 29th Jun 2023 @ 4:09pm

Today we finished our health week activities with a double dose of health. First, the school nurses visited us and taught us about the eatwell plate; after she read us a story about eating the different food groups, we sorted some items into the correct parts of a plate remembering we need to eat the most fruit and vegetables. She even challenged us to create rainbow plates with our meals. 

Next, we had a yoga session with Miss Sophie where we focused on our breathing ensuring we were calm and relaxed. Miss Sophie recapped lots of our poses and we enjoyed trying to recreate them. 

We have thoroughly enjoyed all our health week activities and we will remember all the ways we can keep ourselves healthy and the importance of it.
