Our Year 5 and 6 cricket team smashed their heats today where they won both of their games and will progress to the Tameside finals! They won one of their games by 130 runs! Fantastic work boys, well done!! 

Our superb year 3 pupil Harry has been shortlisted from all schools in the UK for his engineering design. We also received a special award as a school for our entries, led by Mrs Higham our science leader. Just brilliant achievements. Well done Harry, an engineer in the making. 

What an amazing turn out for our sponsored walk this morning. It was a fantastic event that raised £2,833.50 for our sensory room. Thank you everyone for joining us. 

Our school curriculum ensures it gets our children ready for a future in employment. This week we look closely at the jobs in Greater Manchester and beyond. We have lots planned and many visitors. 

We have looked at lots of patterns in nauture this week and have been influenced by the Tudor Rose to create our own motifs to create repeated prints. The finished work looks amazing and will be displayed next week. 

I have just had the privilege of counting the money raised for our sponsored walk on Monday. Well, what can I say? You have raised £2,618.50 so far by sponsoring your child to walk around Gorse Hall. The Year 6 children have mapped the route this morning and are eager to marshal the event. We are so grateful for your generosity. Whenever you pop into school, please have a look at how our sensory room is developing.  I look forward to seeing a lot of you on Monday morning when you join us on the sponsored walk. Dress up warmly as there is a slight chance of rain. 

Congratulations to our superstars this week.

Great fun as a reward at Gorse Hall. 

Year 6 had a fabulous morning chilling on Gorse Hall. They completed the sponsored walk route and are ready for leading the school on Monday. They had fun playing games and climbing the tree. A well deserved treat for all their hard work. 

Our Year 5 and 6 boys' and girls' football teams played against Russell Scott in the preliminary round of the South Tameside cup. 

The girls' team have been unlucky with injury so player of the match, Bella, stepped in to save the day and help the team out. The girls played really well together and showed great perseverance throughout.
