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. 

Anti-Bullying Week 2024 will take place from Monday 11th - Friday 15th November, with the theme: Choose Respect. Odd Socks Day is taking place on Tuesday 12th November, with adults and children being encouraged to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.

Thank you to our year 6s for attending the remembrance at Dukinfield cenotaph. They represented our school proudly and lay a wreath on our behalf. 

A mystery egg has been laid in the Year 1 outdoor area! We are awaiting CCTV footage to see if we can see what creature has laid it...

Year 5’s OAA session included a game of Hippos and Crocs!  In their groups, they had to walk across the "river", avoiding the animals!  The problem was, they were blindfolded!  Their team members had to devise a plan, using different sorts of claps to guide them along!  We discussed later which methods worked!  Great work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley
