British Science Week Competition 2023

Soon we will be taking part in British Science Week and we have lots of fun learning opportunities planned throughout school. The theme this year is 'connections.'

What do you know about connections in science? How are body parts connected? How is the world built on connections? How are all animals connected? How is the solar system connected to the sun?   Is there someone you have connected with who has inspired or helped you? This could be a famous scientist!

World Book Day quiz

Today our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians worked together to organise and put on a book quiz at lunchtimes for the school. They helped the children work out emoji clues to guess the fairytale, nursery rhyme or children's book. The children have worked so hard on identifying books and we are really impressed with their efforts and how many books they could recognise.

Thank you so much to our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians :)

Reading in Year 5

Mrs Anson reading a chapter from The Far Away Tree by Enid Blyton to Year 5 as part of our World Book Day celebrations. We chose the chapter The Land of Goodies where the houses were made of gingerbread and the fences were made of marshmallows! All of the children would definitely like to visit The Land of Goodies!


Our crocuses and daffodils are growing!

In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign.  Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow.  Fabulous job everyone!  Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.


Spring 2 - Who were the Anglo Saxons?

Welcome back to Spring 2 which is a short but extremely busy term!    Our topic is “Who were the Anglo Saxons?” and we have many fun activities planned including an educational visit to Tatton Park for an Anglo Saxon Day!  This will take place on Tuesday 14th March and promises to be a trip to remember!


Team building in Year 5!

 Year 5 enjoyed the first session of their new focus in PE today - OAA.  Their task was a team building challenge where they had to demonstrate agility, balance, coordination and precision.  They had to use non-verbal communication to solve a problem - to get into alphabetical order by surname, all on the bench, without stepping off!  They were only allowed to use hand gestures - no talking or mouthing! All of the teams were impressive - they put their dictionary skills to great use!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley
