Well done to our certificate and good to be green winners this week in year 3.

Fantastic amount of awards for Year 6 this week- well done

Year 6 are learning how to play basketball. This week they had to practise their passing skills to improve their accuracy and then competed in small sided games. 

We created our own graphic scores in Music for our chosen colour peony pink using the word bank we created last week. We had to choose our own instruments, rhythm and then draw the graphic score to represent this. We discussed how layering sounds on top of each other would produce a better song but to make sure we didn't use too many instruments at once. We tried playing each others graphic scores to see if we interpreted the rhythm correctly. We then added dynamics to our composition using the relevant symbols to describe the changes in volume for our piece of music. 

To celebrate Anti Bullying Week Year 3 came in their odd socks today ☺️

Following on from the assembly this morning, Year 6 have been reading poems to identify aspects of bullying. They really empathised with the character Samantha Jayne and came up with some ways to support a child like her, if they were in our class. I'm highly impressed by their mature attitude and their odd socks today too. 

Year 6 have started to use the Polish dictionaries to identify weather vocabulary. 

Today, real life Superhero's came to visit us! They showed us their fire engine and explained what they use different equipment for. We also watched a clip about keeping safe around fire and what to do if our or someones clothing caught fire. Remember to: STOP, DROP and Roll! Have you checked your smoke alarms work? 

Today our Reading Ambassadors had their first meeting with Lisa from Tameside Library. First they shared all of the posters that were entered into the competition- thank you to members of Year 5 and Year 2 for your poster entries. Please see their posters attached. Then they had a book quiz all about the library and different children's fiction and authors. Then we were set our next reading mission- details will be shared very soon...

Today, Year 1 and Year 2 had superhero visitors - fire fighters come and explain their jobs.

We learnt that 5 firefighters are in one fire engine and are needed to put out fires. Fire fighters go to fires to put them out but they also go to car accidents to rescue people. Such an important job - being a fire fighter!
