Welcome back to Spring Term 2 in Year 5 where our topic about Rainforests and Climate Change will continue.  Our upcoming Assembly to the children in school will serve to spread our learning about this ongoing problem.  Children will also extend their geographical knowledge of the world when we explore different biomes.  As well as Rainforests, the children will learn about the features of Deserts, Tundra, Taiga, Aquatics and Grasslands!

Year 4 had lots of fun designing and making Tudor pottage in groups. They picked which vegetables and stock they wanted to add. Then, they used fantastic peeling, slicing, dicing and blending skills to make it. We hope you enjoyed tasting it when they brought it home!

Congratulations to our Year 5 and 6 girls' football team who won their game against St Mary's Catholic Primary School (Dukinfield) 8-1 and progress to the semi finals of the Kate Stonehewer Cup. 

Welcome back to Spring 2. This half term we will explore the Ted Hughes text 'The iron man' about bravery, acceptance and prejudice.

We will also take part in events for World Book Day and British Science Week. See attached the new Home Learning Grid which children should complete over the next six weeks. 

This half term (Spring term 2) our topic is 'How does your garden grow?'. We will be learning all about plants and the environment. We will explore the history of our local area and delve into the past, learning about Beatrix Potter and visiting our local park, Gorse Hall. For more information regarding what we are learning about this half term, please see the MTP below.

Beautiful manners and being respectful to all, as well as fantastic writing skills, were the reasons for this week's Headteachers awards.  Good to be Green awards, as always, were given for being Ready, Respectul and Safe.  Mathletic certificates were awarded for brilliant achievements in our Maths learning platform  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley 

Our new topic is:  What did the Windrush scandal teach us. In Geography, they will be researching about The HMS Windrush; we will be linking this knowledge closely to our writing skills.  In science, the children will be organising and running the Science Fair, which takes part in British Science Week on 10th March 2025 and a visit to Rayner Stephens on the 25th March. This term, we have our outdoor activities day organised on Monday 31st March. Please keep an eye out for emails from Mrs Parker. PE days have now changed.

Throughout the last fortnight, Year 6 has been looking into how to overcome depression, anxiety and bullying. They really delved into their own emotions and how they could resolve feeling down. The children wrote poems and represented these in their very own positive pop-up book. I'm sure you'll agree at how amazing they are!

A massive congratulations to all our award winners this week. 

Well done to our superstars in Year 3 this week.
