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!

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?

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!

Well done to Year 2 children who received their Good to be Green Awards and Headteacher's Awards for using lovely manners and handwriting improvements. 

Well done to our year 3 superstars who shared their achievements in assembly today.

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. 

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

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!
