This term Parlick’s Topic is Long Ago in class we have been exploring images and videos of homes from the past. Identifying how the homes and lives differ from our own.

For our class trip we travelled to Farmer Parrs to explore their Fylde Country Life Museum. The children were so excited to explore the different set ups; discussing the tools being used to try and decide what each area was for. We got to step back in time and visit an old dress maker, War bunker and even a jail cell!

We had a great time playing the games from the past, exploring the huge machinery and exploring the homes from the past.

After our visit to the museum we ventured to the the Barn where the children loved feeding all the animals. The children showed fantastic listening skills throughout the visit, we were very proud of them all!

Oakenclough Class enjoyed a Cultural Capital trip to Half Moon Bay, Heysham, to ease them gently into the new term.

The children took this as an opportunity to reconnect with each other, since returning after a school break.

They enjoyed working in teams to collect sea glass and to see if they could identify different sea creatures as invertebrates or exoskeletal.

They were able to hunt under rocks and sand in a quest to find the most things. They followed their beach experience with a play at the park. They had a fabulous time.
