Our EYFS children have been learning about inspirational people, with a special focus on Queen Elizabeth II. They explored her life, the role she played as Queen, and the values she stood for, such as kindness, duty and resilience. #inspirationalpeople #queen #values #life

It was nothing but Good News as children in KS2 defied gravity and joined the WICKED Worldwide Singalong, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Young Voices! 🤩🧙‍♀️💚 #singalong #youngvoices #wicked #celebrate

EYFS enjoyed a constructive morning designing and building their own small town using a range of materials. This was followed by exploratory mark making, encouraging creativity and early writing skills.🙂 #encouragecreativity #designing #smalltown

Our Year 5 class had the best day at the Liverpool World Museum! They were amazed by the planetarium show, loved exploring the space gallery and ancient wonders, and finished off with lots of excitement in the aquarium.

Using connecting blocks, Year 5 built their own 3D cubes to explore what numbers like 3 cubed actually look like in real life. Such a brilliant way to turn abstract ideas into something they can see and touch. Loving the curiosity and creativity they brought to the lesson!

In PSHE, Year 1 explored how to stay healthy by learning all about handwashing! A glitter experiment helped us see how quickly germs can spread, and the children then practised the correct handwashing steps before writing their own instructions to help others stay germ-free.

✨ What a magical day for Year 3 at Smithills! ✨ We met so many amazing animals, fed the donkeys, sheep and horses, enjoyed a bumpy tractor ride, watched the cows being milked, and even ended the day with a special visit to Father Christmas. 🎅🐄🐴

Our very own rock band The Blue Roses had their first open rehearsal during after school club. If you’d like to see them perform live, their debut performance will be during our festive Farington event this Thursday 18th December!

EYFS have been learning all about Space! We explored the story of Neil Armstrong and his first steps on the moon. The children then got hands-on, making their own moon sand using cornflour and baby oil. They experimented by dropping different-sized rocks to create craters.

Year 6 have made a fantastic start to their football sessions in PE! They’ve been working hard on dribbling, passing and shooting, as well as practising attacking and defending skills.

Year 3 became Stone Age artists! They headed outdoors to gather natural materials — mud, twigs, grass, and more — and used them to make their very own homemade paints. They created incredible handprint paintings just like early humans would have made thousands of years ago.

Year 1 have been exploring the story of Rapunzel in their English lessons. The children combined their literacy and technology skills by creating their own digital illustrations inspired by the key events in the story. They were proud to see their ideas come to life on screen!

Year 2 enjoyed a peaceful and inspiring trip to a Buddhist Meditation Centre as part of our Religion and Worldview studies. 🧘‍♂️🪷 A big thank you to the centre for welcoming us so warmly. What a thoughtful and memorable experience for our young learners! 💛

🗺️ Year 5 turned the playground into an adventure! They used maps to hunt down orienteering points and carefully labelled the numbers on their maps. Brilliant teamwork and navigation skills in action! 🌟 #OutdoorLearning #Orienteering #Teamwork #farington
