As part of their mountain topic, Year 5 visited Coniston and explored the Copper Valley. It was a blazing hot day but they didn’t let it distract them from learning all about the surrounding mountains (and life as a miner).

Year 4 Coniston River Study

What a fantastic day for Year 4 to visit Coniston. The weather was almost as beautiful as the scenery. Year 4 have been learning about rivers and today they have had the opportunity to study a river (in Coniston) themselves. They learned a lot but also had so much fun. Here are a few photos from today.

Earth Day (22nd April 2023)

Earth Day is an annual event where people celebrate and aim to learn more about to help protect our planet. The theme for this year was 'Invest in our planet'. As a school, we learned about the different challenges facing our planet and participated in a variety of activities to help us to learn more about how we can all 'Invest in our planet'. Here is a quick video about some of the activities we were involved in.
