CURRICULUM

This term, Oakenclough will be continuing our topic, Bright Lights, Big City! We will be learning all about the Great Fire of London, finding out how it started and how it was stopped. We will be baking bread rolls like Thomas Farriner and recreating Pudding Lane in DT using junk modelling materials. We will then move on to learning all about London Zoo and plan an imaginary trip there, deciding which animals they would most like to visit.In English, we will be introduced to the story of the Great Fire of London, finding out important facts about this significant historical event. The children will create instructions explaining how to bake bread rolls like Thomas Farriner, which will support them during our baking activity. Later in the term, they will write their own emails to a peer, sharing information about London Zoo and the animals that live there.

In Maths, our focus will be on multiplication and division. The children will learn to count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10, make and recognise equal groups and arrays, and solve simple multiplication and division problems using practical resources and pictures. We will then move on to measurement, where the children will learn about length and height, mass and volume and position and direction. The children will develop their measuring skills through practical activities and investigations.

In Science, the children will be learning all about plants. They will identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees. The children will learn about the basic structure of plants, including roots, stems, leaves and flowers, and explore the important role plants play in our environment. They will investigate the differences between deciduous and evergreen trees, observe seasonal changes, and take part in practical activities to help them understand how plants grow and stay healthy.

CULTURAL CAPITAL

As part of our Bright Lights, Big City topic, Oakenclough visited Morecambe to explore human and physical features. The children identified a range of human features, including buildings, cars and a statue, before exploring the beach to find natural features such as shells, stones and seaweed. They enjoyed collecting and sorting objects into human-made and natural categories and later recorded their learning back at school. This experience will support their future geography learning about London and map work.

As part of our learning about the Great Fire of London, the children enjoyed a visit from a firefighter and a trip to a local fire station. They learned about the important role firefighters play in keeping people safe, explored a fire engine and discovered the equipment used in emergencies. These exciting experiences helped the children compare firefighting today with how fires were tackled in the past, supporting their understanding of the Great Fire of London.

CURRICULUM

This term, we will continue exploring our exciting Once Upon a Time topic with Miss Capstick. The children will enjoy discovering more stories and using their imaginations as we explore a magical fairytale world. There will be lots of opportunities for creative activities, role play and storytelling as we learn about different story characters, settings and events. We will also encourage the children to think creatively by predicting what might happen after a story ends.

Later in the term, the children will have the chance to create their own stories, developing their ideas for characters, adventures and magical worlds. They will bring their stories to life by making masks, puppets and props, before sharing and performing their creations with their friends.

Alongside this, our class will continue learning about the past with Mrs Mott. We will be exploring what life was like when we were born and how people change and grow over time. With Mrs Mott, the class will be exploring a book called Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge. Wilfred is a boy who lives next door to a retirement home. His favourite old person is 96-year-old Miss Nancy who has lost her memory. The book explores themes of friendship, compassion and memory. This links really well with our Memory Box topic. As part of this topic, we will be sharing photographs and special objects to help us remember important family events such as weddings, christenings and other celebrations. We will spend time talking about our families and favourite memories, while also learning how to discuss people and pets who are no longer with us in a sensitive and thoughtful way.We will also continue learning about the days of the week, months of the year and the passing of time, helping the children develop their understanding of when events happen and, of course, how long they have to wait until their birthdays! The children will also enjoy exploring objects from the past and learning games, songs and dances that were popular many years ago.
Alongside our topic work, we will continue to practise phonics, handwriting/sentence formation and letter formation every day to support early reading and writing skills. In Maths, we will complete our learning on measurement before moving on to multiplication and division.

Our continuous provision activities will continue to run throughout the day and is carefully planned to support learning across all areas of the curriculum. These activities give children the opportunity to practise new skills, positively interact with their peers, follow their interests and develop their understanding through play and exploration.

CULTURAL CAPITAL

Before half term, the children visited Worden Park on the outskirts of Leyland. The children had fun exploring the environment on a nature walk through the grounds. They found a lake with beautiful swans and ducks. To round the trip off, and to run off some end of term energy, they went to play on the fantastic playpark.

Our Cultural Capital Trip for this term will be an exciting outdoor adventure to Waddecar. There are lots of different activities on offer at Waddecar which will allow the children to develop their gross motor skills and work as a team. We are hoping to engage in some canoeing which means there is the potential that the children may get a bit (or very) wet depending on their canoeing skills!

It is important that the children are dressed appropriately for the day and arrive at school with a full change of clothes which is appropriate for the activity (change of underwear and socks should be packed too). They should also bring trainers to wear for the activity which are suitable for getting dirty and wet. Wellies are not appropriate as they will fill with water. Suncream should be applied in the morning before arriving at school.

CULTURAL CAPITAL

Last term the children enjoyed an exciting field trip to different locations along the River Wyre, where they took part in a variety of scientific investigations. At each stop, the children collected soil samples and water samples to take back to school for further testing and analysis. They carefully observed the environment around the river and discussed how the river changes in different areas.

This term we are excited about our upcoming, end of year, visit to Waddecar. The children will take part in a range of adventurous outdoor activities designed to build confidence, teamwork and resilience. This promises to be a fun and memorable experience, giving the children the opportunity to challenge themselves, develop new skills and enjoy learning outdoors.

30/06/26 – Billy Bobs

Posted on July 8, 2026July 8, 2026 by Calder Lodge School

As an end-of-school treat to celebrate the children’s fantastic behaviour and positive attitudes throughout the year, we enjoyed a special trip to Billy Bob’s. The children had a wonderful time exploring the venue, playing together, and sharing a delicious lunch.

The visit provided many opportunities to support learning beyond the classroom and linked closely to our curriculum, particularly in developing executive functioning skills. Throughout the day, the children practised important skills such as following instructions, managing their time, making decisions, taking turns, and demonstrating self-control in a busy environment.

They also showed excellent communication and social skills by working together, problem-solving, and interacting positively with their peers and adults. The trip was a fantastic way to celebrate the children’s achievements and recognise the outstanding behaviour they have demonstrated throughout the school year.

We are incredibly proud of how they represented our school and hope they enjoyed this
well-deserved treat.

16/06/26 – Holmeswood Nature Walk

Posted on June 18, 2026June 18, 2026 by Calder Lodge School

During our geography trip to Holmeswood, we visited a local river to learn about river environments and the processes that shape them. The visit helped us understand how rivers affect the landscape and the importance of rivers within the local area.

While at the river, we observed different features such as the river channel, bends, banks, and surrounding vegetation. We discussed how erosion, transportation, and deposition work together to change the river over time. We also looked at how the river interacts with the surrounding land and considered the impact of weather and human activity on the environment.

We discussed how rivers form and develop from their source to their mouth. We examined examples of river features and learned how water shapes the landscape through natural processes. We were encouraged to think about how rivers can create habitats for wildlife and why they are important for both people and the environment and identified various physical and human features in our surroundings.

The trip to Holmeswood was an interesting and enjoyable experience. It helped us connect what we had learned in the classroom to a real-world river environment and improved our understanding of physical geography.

10/6/26 – Rock Pooling at Half Moon Bay

Posted on June 12, 2026June 12, 2026 by Calder Lodge School

As part of our Microhabitats topic in science, Nicky Nook travelled to Half Moon Bay in Heysham to take part in a Rockpooling activity. This experience enhanced their knowledge of habitats, as they saw animals in their natural environments. The children were able to move rocks on the beach to find animals that live in these microhabitats.

Nicky Nook were all really eager to take part in this activity as they very quickly discovered how many different animals live under rocks and in rock pools. They used a plastic tub with water from the sea to place their findings in to observe them.

Nicky Nook also used this experience as a tool for guiding them in English. They were given a set of instructions of how to successfully rockpool. The instructions were given with mistakes in them. The task for the class was to identify the mistakes, so they could use their experiences to write their own set of instructions.

Nicky Nook really enjoyed their trip and were eager for staff to take pictures of their findings and showcase what they had found. After rockpooling, the class enjoyed their lunch on the beach and went to Heysham Play Park to finish their trip.

3.6.26 – Cleveleys Beach: The Sea Swallow.

Posted on June 11, 2026June 11, 2026 by Calder Lodge School

As part of our Cultural Capital experience, the children visited Cleveleys Beach following our class study of The Sea Swallow by Gareth Thompson. Prior to the trip, we read and discussed the story together, sharing our thoughts, opinions and interpretations of the book. The children engaged enthusiastically in discussions about the characters, themes and events within the story.

During our visit to the beach, we explored the sculptures inspired by the book. The children were excited to see the Golden Sea Shell and the Sea Swallow sculptures in real life. We also looked for the Ogre sculpture, although it was partially hidden by the high tide. Seeing these landmarks brought the story to life and helped the children make meaningful connections between literature, art and the local environment.

Following our visit to Cleveleys Beach and our study of The Sea Swallow by Gareth Thompson, the children will take part in a Design and Technology project to create their own sculptures using air-dry clay. Inspired by the sculptures they observed during the trip, the children will first explore ideas, sketch designs and consider the features they would like to include in their models.

They will then use a range of shaping, joining and finishing techniques to construct their sculptures from clay, developing their fine motor skills and understanding of three-dimensional design. Throughout the project, children will evaluate their work and make improvements to achieve their intended outcome. This activity encourages creativity, problem-solving and the application of skills inspired by a real-life cultural experience.

CURRICULUM

In Topic, we will continue our learning journey with Bright Lights, Big City. This half term, we will be focusing on the fascinating history of London, with a particular emphasis on the Great Fire of London. The children will explore how the fire started, the impact it had on the city, and how London changed as a result of this significant historical event.

In Maths, we will be continuing our work on multiplication and division. The pupils will be developing their understanding of multiplication by learning new strategies and skills. This will include recognising and creating equal groups, using arrays to represent multiplication facts, and building confidence when solving multiplication and division problems.

In English, Nicky Nook Class will be creating sets of instructions for making bread rolls and pizzas.

The class will also be using their computing skills to write and send emails about London and its famous attractions, combining their English and technology learning in a meaningful way.

In Science, Nicky Nook Class will continue their biodiversity topic with a focus on microhabitats and minibeasts. The children have already enjoyed exploring where microhabitats can be found, and this half term they will investigate how animals and minibeasts obtain the energy they need to survive. They will learn about simple food chains and discover the important role that the sun plays in providing energy for living things.

CULTURAL CAPITAL

Our first Culture Capital trip will take place on 10th June 2026. Nicky Nook class will be going to Half Moon Bay to take part in rock pooling. The class will write instructions prior to this on how to rock pool and then use each other’s instructions to try and find animals under the rocks. This will be linked to our English focus and exploring the outside world and microhabitats in the sea.

Our second Culture Capital trip will be on 8th July 2026, when Nicky Nook Class will visit Waddecar Scout Activity Centre for an exciting canoeing adventure. As part of their end-of-year celebrations, this will give the children the opportunity to try something new and create special memories with their classmates before the school year comes to an end.

19/05/26 – Billy Bob’s Restaurant Adventure

Posted on May 21, 2026May 21, 2026 by Calder Lodge School

Our class visited Billy Bob’s and the children had an amazing day. The restaurant looked just like a real American diner, with a huge lorry and a bright yellow school bus inside. As soon as we arrived, we could see how excited the children were for the day ahead.

Throughout the trip, the children were encouraged to stop and record their thoughts, feelings and favourite moments so that they could later use these ideas in their diary writing.

In the indoor play area, the children enjoyed exploring the hay bales, rope swings, zip line and three giant slides with mats. The slides were especially popular, and many of the children raced to the bottom before quickly climbing back up for another turn. Freddie and Ra’nell particularly enjoyed the giant slides and spent lots of time laughing and playing happily with their classmates. Throughout the play area, the children encouraged one another and shared the excitement of trying new activities together.

Gabby especially loved flying down the zip lines. Each time she reached the end, she rushed back for another go with a huge smile on her face. Some of the children thought the swings looked very high, but Frankie showed great confidence and bravery. He became “Tarzan” for the day, swinging from rope swing to rope swing like an acrobat and impressing both the children and us adults.

Ollie, Xander and Frankie also had a wonderful time in the foam pit area. The children worked together to build a large house out of the foam blocks, inspired by Minecraft. Using their imaginations, they created walls, rooms and secret entrances while laughing and helping each other as a team.

Outside in the adventure area, the children climbed, ran and explored with their classmates. We enjoyed watching them challenge themselves, build confidence and have fun together in the fresh air.

After all the excitement, the children washed their hands before heading into the diner for lunch. The children enjoyed hot dogs, burgers and fries after working up a huge appetite from all the activities.

Following the visit, the children used their recorded thoughts and experiences to write detailed diary entries about the trip. They included descriptions of the activities, their emotions and the exciting atmosphere of the day. The experience gave the children a real purpose for writing and helped them to create lively diary entries.

The trip was a huge success. The children behaved wonderfully, supported one another throughout the day and created many happy memories. By the end of the visit, both the children and we adults wished we could have stayed even longer.
