Our first lesson was a fun and hands-on sensory learning activity using **homemade play dough**. Pupils were challenged to mould and create their own bodies, thinking carefully about the different parts of the body and where they belong. Everyone engaged brilliantly with the activity, and we were so impressed with the fantastic creations! Pupils made wonderful play dough people, complete with **facial features**, demonstrating the knowledge they already have about their bodies. To finish the lesson, we enjoyed our ever-popular **Play Dough Disco!** Pupils followed instructions to **roll, squeeze and splat** their play dough, developing their fine motor skills while having lots of fun. It was a fantastic first lesson, and we can't wait to discover more about the amazing human body as our Science topic continues! 🌟 [Science](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [ Making Chips/Wedges](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-07-14-25-making-chips-wedges) [Pop pop pop ](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-07-14-47-pop-pop-pop) ![Park Community Academy](https://files.schudio.com/parkschool-3/images/logo/Untitled_design_(9)_(1).png) #### Park Community Academy Mrs J Aaron (Academy Business Lead) 158 Whitegate Drive Blackpool Lancashire FY3 9HF 01253 764130 #### Useful Links: - [Vacancies](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/vacancies1) - [Blackpool Education Partnership](https://www.blackpoolteachingschoolalliance.org.uk/) - [Independent Travel Training](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/independent-travel-training) - [Embrace Teaching School Hub](https://www.torview.org/educational-excellence/teaching-school-hub) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ParkCommunityAcademy) - [X](https://twitter.com/PCABlackpool) © Copyright 2025–2026 Park Community Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
