Year 5 had a fabulous time when they made parachutes to test air resistance. Some used different materials, other groups make parachutes of different sizes. The best of all were the plastic ones as they caught the breeze and flew for ages. 

The Olympic Torch arrived last week as we took part in Tameside's baton relay. Our Sports Ambassadors ran through school with the London 2012 torch and they were joined by a special mascot!

It was a fabulous end to our Sports Week.

Amazing work on resilience - Year 3 are showing such skills and being resilient especially over the last year during lockdowns,  when they couldn't see friends and family. 

We are so proud of them.

What a brilliant day Year 5 have had with our living history day. We have learnt so much and seen so many artefacts. We've played ship and food games, completed a shield wall. We've found out about death and buiral and weapons and armour. It's been absolutely brilliant. 

We finished our Sports Week in style.

On Friday afternoon, we had a visit from Max the Monkey with the Olympic torch! 

Max was joined by two of our Sports Ambassadors, Lily and Reuben, and together they showed off the torch to all the children.

Mrs Parker, Lily and Reuben then passed the torch over to children from Reyner Stephens.

We are back into isolation this week due to a case of COVID-19. This means that we are back to doing Zoom sessions - there will be 2 Zoom sessions everyday apart from today where there will just be the 1. I have attached the home learning for this week. I understand that some of you will still be working and will not be able to complete all of the learning set, just try to do a little bit with your child everyday. I cannot wait to see all the things you get up to, please send them to me on Seesaw. Any questions, don't be afraid to get in touch.

We closed the end of our busy Sports Week with awards!  Merits and Certificates for outstanding contributions to Sports Week, as well as Silver Awards and Good to be Green Awards, were handed to the happy recipients.  A special well done to Kasia, who also won the Sports Trophy for the week, as well as achieving her Gold Award.  We even got a glimpse of the Olympic Torch, before some of our  Year 6 children and Mrs Parker delivered it to Rayner Stephens. You are all amazing Year 4!  Well done to everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

The Dance Workshop this week, delivered by Onya from the West End in Schools Theatre Company, was brilliant!  The class loved creating dances for the Olympic opening ceremony!  They used their imaginations and talent to produce a real spectacle of dance!  Well done Year 4!  Mrs Blomeley

The Athletics Tournament was a great success this week!  Sprinting, Javelin, Speed Bounce, Long Jump and Hurdles!  All in one day!  I was exhausted just watching them!  Here are some photographs of the children's brilliant hurdling skills!   Mrs Blomeley
