This half term we will be busy buzzing about BEES! Keep watching our blog / class Seesaw to see what exciting things we get up to over the half term, especially our exciting hooks/experiences that will bring our learning to life.PE will take place every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child has an indoor (pumps for Invasion Games and Gymnastics) and outdoor (warm with trainers) PE kit in school, in a clearly labelled bag. In Science this half term, we will be exploring the topic ‘Plants’ and investigating which plants we and Bees need to survive.

Here is our home learning for this half term all linked to our topic 'How does your garden grow?'. Please remember to complete tasks in your home learning book and send them into school or upload them to Seesaw. Remember completing all 8 pieces of homework earns you a gold award, 6 pieces earns you a silver award and 4 pieces earns you a bronze award. We cannot wait to see all the brilliant things that you do! 

In Spring 2, our topic is 'How does your garden grow?'. We will be learning all about plants, the environment and Beatrix Potter. We will even go on a trip to our local park Gorse Hall. For more information regarding what we are learning about this half term, please see the MTP below.

I do hope you've all had a fabulous February half term holiday, and the children are raring for the new term in Year 4. This half term starts off with our Tudors Topic. The children will be inspired by our Diver's Daughter class text and finding out about the royal family in the Tudor times.  This learning will be enhanced by our science topic of Digestion and Teeth, which links nicely to our DT project, where we will be making Tudor pottage.  Inspiring, home learning projects of making a Tudor building will really put their creative mind to the test as well. 

This half term in Year 6 we will be looking at the learning question: 'What did the Windrush scandal teach us?' Please see the attached topic overview of things we will cover during this exciting topic along with the home learning grid with additional opportunities for home learning. 

Year 5 had a real treat this week with a team building session from Vicky at Active Tamesde.  The children used their communication skills in various activities and achieved some tasks that they first thought were impossible!  Vicky was really impressed with the class; their behaviour was impeccable!  Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

We had so many Award winners in Year 5 this week!  Headteacher's certificates were given to the whole class for fantastic persuasive writing and for a brilliant creative homework presentation!  This half term's Vocabulary Ninja winner and a Silver certificate for achieving 100 Star points were also awarded together with Good to be Green awards that were given to those who have followed our School rules all week of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.

Some of our Year 5 and 6 girls took part in a futsal festival. It was many of the girls first time playing futsal and we learnt how it was different to playing football. We had lots of fun and were very excited to be the first ones to wear the new kit! We played games against Yew Tree, Manchester Road, Oasis, Greenside and Oakfield. A special well done to Evie who was the player of the festival for our school. Great job girls, well done!

As part of Schools Football Week, pupils were tasked with designing their own England top. The Sports Council were tasked with the hard job of choosing the winning entries. We had over 100 entries so well done to those pupils who won!!
