For Wellbeing Wednesday this week we let off some steam by attacking our opponents in a Blooket Game called 'Battle Royale'. 

This was a lot of fun and our victor was Jake- well done. 

In Forest School today we carried out the RSPB Big Schools' Bird Watch. Everyone was very excited about finding different birds and we even found a trail of soft, fluffy white feathers. We played in the hammock and played What's the time Mr Wolf?

Lots of fun was had at the sportshall athletics competition tonight with Years 5 and 6. Excellent throwing, jumping and running from everyone and amazing team spirit throughout. Well done everyone, you did our school proud!

What an amazing lesson today when the children explored the electrical equipment in school. They worked together to make a bulb, motor and a buzzer work. How fantastic!

A big thank you to Geoff who came in to work with our Year 6 sports leaders today in developing their play leader duties with KS1 at lunchtimes. They worked together to create some activities that they can't wait to try. They trialled them with some Year 1 pupils today. Great job everybody and fantastic leadership skills!

Year 5 were amazing in the Crumble Coding Workshop yesterday!  They followed the instructions perfectly to produce a piece of wearable tech to use in their exploration of the Rainforest!  Year 5's ideas were brilliant, ranging from helping them to see in the dark, to actually attracting Poison Dart Frogs with their self-designed caps, belts or wristbands!  Their behaviour and listening skills were fantastic and we were so impressed!  Thank you to Don and Liz for all your help - we really enjoyed the session!  Mrs Blomeley and Ms Wagstaff.

Year 1 loved working with Dukinfield Youth JFC today where they developed their ball skills, control and coordination. Well done everybody!

Oh wow! The children have been so engrossed in the Crumble Coding Workshop this morning. They have made Sparkles, which were our traffic lights, change colour by linking up Crumble kits and writing algorithms and code to control them. They have been so good at listening and following instructions, that Dom and Liz were impressed. A great morning Year 4, well done. 

Awards in Year 5 this week were given for fantastic work in Maths, by mastering the concept of finding common denominators in Fractions and for being an amazing helper and friend!  Good to be Green awards were presented for following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Keep up the great work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

In Forest school this week we found lots of ice sculptures, played the icicle game, made some birds nests and warmed up with some delicious hot chocolate.
