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


Year 2 Design Technology

Design Technology in Year 2.

Designing ships -  together children designed their own pirate ships. They carefully made their ships and then tested them to see if the ship would float!

Children were so proud of their designs - future designers and ship builders! Or maybe future pirates! 


Year 2 P.E.

Fundamental movements in P.E. Year 2 very energetic this morning taking part in throwing, catching and dodging the ball.


Drama in the Rainforest!

Today, the children re-enacted the exciting scene from "The Explorer", where the characters discovered a pineapple AND a sloth!  They named the sloth Abacaxi, which we also discovered means "pineapple" in Portugese.  The children loved showing off their acting skills and did an amazing job!  We have some budding thespians in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley


Fruits of the Forest in Year 5!

Year 5 imagined they were characters from our class text "The Explorer" today!  They tasted a variety of fruits that they might have to eat if they were trapped in the Rainforest, left to their own devices!  Their overall favourite was pineapple, followed by Sharon fruit, which they described as "sweet as popcorcm".  Their least favourite fruit were the figs!  A big thank you to Mrs Hallam who helped to cut and slice the fruit for us all to share!  Mrs Blomeley
