Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed finding out about Chinese New Year and the celebrations around the country. 

We had a go at playing some basketball matches today. Our skills and knowledge are really improving. 

In 2025 Lunar New Year begins on 29 January and marks the change from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake.What animal are you?  It is celebrated with gifts, fireworks and dragon and lion dances and culminates on the 15th day with a lantern festival. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone celebrating. 

We enjoyed our guided meditation for Wellbeing Wednesday.

Year 3 have loved researching, designing and making our earthquake proof buildings. Are favourite part was testing them by creating our own earthquakes using marbles as tectonic plates. What a fun DT topic!

A big thank you to the parents who came to Year 5 tonight to look at their child’s books.  The children were very keen to show off the work they have produced so far in Year 5, and rightly so!  Parents enjoyed seeing their work and the children should be very proud!  Mrs Blomeley

I am very proud of Year 6 and their performance of Evolution by AIpoem in assembly today. The nerves were jingling but they performed ever so well. Well done everyone. 

Year 5’s new writing genre is Balanced Arguments!  They started the genre with a discussion, related to their upcoming Class Compliments afternoon.  The class had a split decision as to whether they should wear pyjamas or not for their well-earned treat?  Arguments for both sides were put forward, with some excellent points of view.  The question was, did they manage to persuade anyone to change their minds?  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 have had a brilliant week in general and they have received so many awards!  Headteacher's awards were given for amazing work in Maths and for being a helpful member of the class!  Good to be Green awards were given for following our school values of being Ready, Respectful and Safe, as well as Bronze awards for achieving 100 star points!  Brilliant work on Mathletics led to a variety of certificates and, finally, our footballers were the runners up in the Greater Manchester County Championships!  We are extremely proud of them all!  Mrs Blomeley

It was Year 3 and 4's turn to take part in dodgeball tonight and they had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see some pupils representing our school for the first time. They showed amazing dodging, catching and throwing skills and more importantly fantastic teamwork and team spirit. Well done everyone!
