The Digestive System

Year 4 loved their Science lesson this week - even if it was a little gross!

They learnt all about the different parts of the digestive system and the function of each part. Can you spot which part of the digestive system they are learning about?


This week's award winners are...

Well done to this weeks Head-Teacher and Good to be Green award winners - well deserved! Well done to the three children who have achieved their bronze star points award (100 star points), keep up the hard work!


Fantastic Year 6

We had some brilliant sporting success in Year 6 this week as we won our Dodgeball competition and came runners up in the County Football competition. Great work Year 6. 


Perfect Parachutes!

To complete their Science topic on Forces, Year 5 had a challenge to use air resistance to create a parachute that could land their "egg" astronaut safely, in the slowest possible time!  The children followed their own designs, with a few adaptations, and tried to use materials that would give their parachutes the greatest air resistance.  After our testing, the children unwrapped their carefully covered eggs, to reveal whether they had landed intact!  Brilliant scientific work Year 5!  And great fun too!  Mrs Blomeley

 

 

 


Year 5 and 6 Dodgeball Competition

Our Year 5 and 6's showed great skill in the dodgeball competition tonight with our A team coming top of their group and progressing to the Tameside finals. Our B team showed great teamwork and really improved throughout their matches - they caught lots of people out and showed great dodging skills. Great job everyone!


Pokémon County Football Championships

Our Year 5 and 6 boys football team were the runners up in the Greater Manchester county championships. All the boys played really well but were beaten in the final by North Cheshire Jewish Primary School in a well fought game. The boys not only were a credit to our school but also represented Tameside well. We are so proud of you for making the final boys, well done!


Maths Mastery in Year 5!

Year 5 have been working so hard to tackle the tricky concept of Fractions lately!  It has been said that the only way to demonstrate you have mastered an idea is to be able to explain and teach it to someone else.  This week we have been lucky to have some 'extra' teachers in class!  They have chosen some of the trickier White Rose Maths questions and confidently explained how to arrive at the answers!  They were amazing and they all clearly helped others to understand some of the different aspects of Fractions!  Mrs Blomeley
