All the latest news from Curwen Primary School
For Year 1's Summer Big Outcome, Parents and Carers joined the children in class to look at the amazing pop-up books that were made as part of their DT lessons.
The children created their very own animal non-fictions books, which included some very clever features to make their books interactive. These included a range of mechanisms such as: levers, flaps, sliders and rotating parts. Our Parents and Carers even had a go at making their own!
Nursery, Reception, KS1, Toddler Group and Oak Class were all treated to a visit from our friends at Ark Farm, who set up two mini farms in our playgrounds for the day.
The children enjoyed asking questions about life at the farm and finding out about the animals, which is all part of their science learning. The farm included: ducks, sheep, donkeys, pigs and some VERY cheeky goats that kept jumping the fence to explore the Curwen playground!
Curwen secured third place in the UK's largest active travel initiative, the Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2025.
Throughout this event, children engaged in various modes of transport to reach school, including walking, cycling, scooting, or roller skating. The goal was to inspire families to adopt active travel habits, enhancing health, improving air quality, and showcasing how these small changes can positively impact the environment.
In addition, we organised Dr. Bike sessions for bike repairs and brake checks, as well as a Bling Your Wheels Day, where children had the opportunity to decorate their wheels with colourful streamers and spokes.
