In our Philosophy For Children session this week we had to agree on a hierarchy of things that makes us human. Can you be human without love? Does a good human need an active body and healthy mind? Some great discussion points.

We are really enjoying our cricket lessons in PE this term. Super skills year 6.

Our Sport's Ambassadors in year 6 have helped to support our football challenges this week.

I wonder who the winner is?

World Book Day celebrations started early in Year 4. The children were able to bring in their favourite books today, complete bookmarks, design book covers, complete character studies and read. I look forward to seeing all them all in costume on Friday.What a fantastic hour it was!

Year 4 are very excited to be running the science fair this year and have spent the afternoon getting ready for the event next week. From their enthusiasm, it's going to be amazing. 

Year 3 have learnt about pulleys and cranes and how they can be used to move a heavy load.

Children learnt this skill so that they could plan and design a crane which would rescue The Iron Man.

Pulleys were used successfully to pull the Iron Man.

Year 3 are showing fabulous Design Technology skills.  They worked cooperatively with their team to create a successful model crane.

The Eco Leaders have been revamping our lovely planter that was donated to school by Stalybridge Women's Institute. 

Todays challenge was to use wool to make a spider web and ask another team to get through the web without touching it!  Everyone had great fun crawling in and out of the webs. 

Year 5 love making lumpy stew and mud mousse in the mud kitchen!

Year 5 started their Haka sessions n PE on Friday!  Their ultimate aim is to create a Haka dance for one of the Rainforest tribes that they've learnt about.  They need to use tactics to scare opposing tribes and Year 5 have definitely got off to a great start!  Watch this space!  Mrs Blomeley
