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!

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.
