In our engaging Maths session, we had a blast practicing counting in multiples of 2’s, 5’s, 10’s, 3’s, and 4’s. As part of the interactive activity, some children articulated a multiplication factor while catching the ball, while others, enjoying the swings, tapped Emma’s hands with their feet and called out the next multiple each time they swung forward. Kudos to Willow 2 for the superb teamwork and effort!
Today, selected members of Oak 2 had the honour of representing our school at a sports event held at Howe Bridge. They had a fantastic time and exhibited exemplary behaviour throughout the day. The event kicked off with a fitness class, followed by a thrilling showcase of their skills as they transformed into scooter stars on the skate park – a display of both talent and courage.
Following a brief break, they engaged in games around the soft play area before heading for lunch. In the afternoon, their prowess continued to shine as they conquered climbing walls, concluding the day with a session of archery. The snapshots captured in these pictures provide just a glimpse of the amazing experiences they had.
In Geography, Maple 2 is currently immersed in exploring Wigan and its local places. As part of their Design and Technology (DT) adventure on local food, they recently crafted lobbies.

Facing the chilly weather, Birch 2 ventured outdoors to Nature’s Den this week. Their task was straightforward: collect sticks for a Design and Technology (DT) project focusing on homes. Pupils diligently worked on building a house using the gathered sticks. This hands-on experience in design and construction added a practical dimension to their learning.

Cedar 2 had a great time in the snow, all bundled up to stay warm. Despite the cold, they decided to build a small snowman and had a sizeable snowball fight. Impressively, they threw their snowballs over the fence into the Nature’s Den area. The photos capture the simple joy and camaraderie of their snowy day.
Elm 1 attended their first swimming lesson of the year this week. The children are building on skills learnt last year including filling and emptying watering cans, blowing bubbles and submerging in the water. The children transitioned well and enjoyed their time in the water.
