Polish Day in Y6

Y6 loved tasting some Polish foods today- the chocolates particularly went down well. We have found out about why Poland celebrates their Day of Independence on 11th November and the class have produced some outstanding information pages about this- please have a look at the photographs of our work!

We have also researched some traditional Polish dishes to create our own Polish menus- yummy!


Y6 Hockey

Year 6 are finessing their hockey skills in PE. We have looked at different types of dribbling; how to do push passes with a partner; and how to use a jab tackle to attack our opponents. Next week we will start to play some matches against each other. 


Planting Crocuses for World Polio Day

As part of World Polio Day 2022 the Eco leaders and chosen children from each class planted 500 crocuses in the school grounds.  These were kindly donated by Tameside Rotary.and members of the Rotary came to help and support the children with their planting.  Well done everyone, you all did a fantastic job!  We are looking forward to seeing the flowers bloom in the spring.


Hummingbird Project

Today the Hummingbird Project started in year 5 and 6. This is a 6-week Positive Education intervention, designed to give students the tools they need to be as happy, healthy, and productive as possible. It involves hour-long workshops, in which students learn about happiness, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, and resilience, and take part in fun activities that help them to understand how to put these ideas into practice. 


Y6 Star of the week 4-11-22

Today everybody in Y6 was presented with the Star of the Week for their positive contributions and mature attitudes during our Safe Squad workshop.

Abigail was awarded with a Headteacher's Award for being such a hardworking member of the class. She is truly an outstanding role model.

Well done to Xander and Kasia for winning the Good to be Green Award today. 

You all looked amazing in your costumes :)

Wellbeing in the outdoors

As part of Outdoor Learning Day Year 6 visited Gorse Hall for a wellbeing session. They had so much fun playing tig, hide and seek and football with lots of tree climbing too. 


Safe Squad in Y6

Year 6 had a fun, interactive morning taking part in our Safe Squad workshop. We discussed fire safety in the home, practised basic CPR, discussed how to be safe online and what to do if see hate crime or antisocial behaviour. We would like to thank the Safe Squad team for making this important, informative session so hands-on.
