Do you know who this brave woman is from our history? February is LGBT History Month and we’re focussing on the lives and work of some courageous LGBT women. If you find out any details let Mrs Parker know for house points - we shall do some research together in assembly.

The Reading Ambassadors met with me this week to choose winners for the book reveiw challenge that was set in December.
Thank you to all of the children who took part in the challenge- it was a very hard decision to choose a winner for each class. Please have a look at the winning book reviews which will be sent to Tameside Libraries to share on their social media.
Our winners were: Noah Hatton, Bella Rose, Kai Munro Taylor, Sam Sheppard and Abigail Taylor.
Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’. We are also linking this with Mental Health Week - as they go hand in hand. I am asking our pupils to design a poster about life online, which links the themes. All entries are to be sent to Mrs Parker by 10th February. Pupil Leaders will help me to decide the winners.
The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is this weekend 27th-29th January. By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come. The Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing.

Year 3 enjoyed making bows and arrows using tools safely to cut branches from the willow and practice their knot tying skills. They also made bird feeders and used their senses to play the owl and mice game. The children enjoyed investigating the ice and warmed themselves up with some delicious hot chocolate.

The Eco Leaders carried out the RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch this morning. They were all excellent at spotting the birds that are living in and near the school grounds. We saw Magpies, Carrion crows, Sparrows and Robins. We even spotted some beautiful Goldfinches eating the seeds from the Alder trees. Well done everyone you did a fabulous job!

Our creative project in Year 3 this half term is a volcano model. The children worked really hard to creative some amazing models. We had smoking volcano, erupiting volcano and even a chocolate panettoni cake volcano. The cake looked and smelled delicious and we all wanted to eat it! The children practised their oracy skills when they shared their models and described the process of making them and materials they used.
Congratulations to the children who have received their Head Teacher's Award and Good to be Green pencils today. Well done!
