We celebrate our differences today with Odd Socks Day 2024 - part of our Anti-bullying themes this week. 

Today we marked Polish Independence Day in Year 5 by linking it to our Spy topic!  The class enjoyed playing "I Spy With My Little Eye" with a Polish twist!  They had to find objects from a list, with their Polish names!  They learnt that many items had similar names to the English versions, such as panda and zebra, yet a football is called a piłka nożna!  We had fun and discovered some new Polish words!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 loved taking part in Polish day where we sang lots of Polish songs and answered the register in Polish. We also used illustrated maps by Polish artists to compare Poland to the UK and discussed the similarities and differences beteeen the two countries. 

Year 2 had so much fun today making Polish open sandwiches! They used Polish ingredients including rye bread, ham and cheese. Delicious! We also looked at traditional folk patters. We liked the designs and how colou they are. 

Today we looked at traditional Polish folk art called wyncinaski. We either used a stencil or created our own artwork using nature as a stimulus.

These look fantastic.

Sean from The Greater Manchester Magistrates' Association came to visit today. The children were amazed to find out about the law and how Sean keeps them safe every single day. They learnt about how to keep themselves safe, knife crime and they even used Millie as a volunteer in a Mock Trial in the classroom. What a brilliant activity to start our Anti-bullying week. 

Today we have celebrated Polish day. We have listened to traditional Polish music and tried some Polish foods. We have explored which continent Poland is in, what Poland's capital city is and identified the Polish flag. Thank you to Ms Laitl for getting us the food to try! 

Year 6 were very respectful today at 11:00, marking Remembrance Day with a two minutes silence. 

Year 6 have lots of knowledge about Poland and loved finding out about the culture, food and cities. They also loved the heads, shoulders, knees and toes song too. Happy Polish Independence Day everyone!

On 11th November 1918 Poland celebrated it's independence day. As Polish is our Modern Foreign Language - we will be celebrating this event and taking part in many activities. Miss Laitl our Polish teacher will lead this.
