Levens School Remembers
We have been involved in making poppies with James Cropper PLC during our week of remembrance.
Children from key stage used the kits provided by the Burneside company to create a display of beautiful poppies at their plant during Remembrance weekend.
Last Friday, pupils from school walked down to St. John’s for our special service. We were all wearing poppies that we had made using recycled materials, Each class laid a wreath at the memorial made in school and we donated money to the British Legion Poppy Appeal.
Windermere Football Skills
Last week, Class 4 were privileged to be invited to Windermere School for their football skills session. Despite the rain howling through the night, the day turned out with only showers and we arrived at Windermere ready to get stuck in. Up the hill we went to the 3G pitch with our attentive coaches – everyone had fun and showed great enthusiasm.
The best bit though? If you ask me – a free lunch!!
Thanks again to all the staff at Windermere school for the session. Photos below!
Opening Ceremony – Part One
Last week, we enjoyed the opportunity to welcome some important visitors to tour our new school environment and officially open the extension to school which includes: new gender-neutral toilet facilities; an amazing new classroom space for our year 5+6 pupils; cloakroom spaces; a meeting room and children’s entrance.
Our visitors included Cllr Sue Sanderson who had been instrumental in supporting our bid for the extension at the very start of this project.
Every child in school spent the morning involved in a design and build challenge, led by Fran Ward, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, to create a school of the future using Duplo or Lego. Our creations were inspired by our amazing new building.

Healthy Wraps!
Today we have been making our own healthy wraps that included a source of protein, carbohydrate, dairy product and vegetable!
Class Three visit Vindolanda
The sun was shining once again as Class Three set off to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum. The children had an amazing time exploring the remains of the fort and town at Vindolanda, walking in the steps of the Romans. Our geography map reading skills were put to good use as we went on a hunt to work out the missing words, whilst also learning about the buildings and their use. We learnt all about the work of the archaeologists with our very own expert! We then looked at all the discoveries in the Vindolanda museum and thought carefully about what each discovery told us about the Romans. We then moved onto the Roman Army Museum and learnt about the different types of soldiers and life on Hadrian’s Wall. We finished the day by looking at the location of the Magna Fort and discussing the future archaeological dig on this site. A wonderful time was had by all and we will be using our new found knowledge to good use in the classroom.
Busy Builders!
Over the past few weeks in class 2 we have had different challenges and chance to explore our construction area. We have had a wide range of things being built from multi story car parks to Levens Hall and its gardens! Here are some pictures of our creations.
