During October half term there are many free activities on at Tameside Libraries- please see the images attached for more information. 

Half term activities

We have lots going on for children and families during the upcoming half term.

I do hope you all have a fabulous October half term holiday, and the children get a break before coming back for our second term in Year 4. This half term will start off with our Science topic of Sound. The children will be finding out about how their ears work, how sound travels and how the telephone was invented and works. We will also be whizzing off around the world.  The children will be learning about the Capital Cities, Greenwich Meridian, the Tropics and the Equator.

We enjoyed listening to a story called The Lost Sheep. Our visitor from Holy Trinity taught us to appreciate each other.

Our girls football team had the Pokemon semi final tonight against St Raphael's and Dowson Primary School. They lost 3-0 to St Raphael's and 2-0 to Dowson. The girls showed great team spirit and enthusiasm throughout all of the games, supporting each other and did the school proud. Izzy showed some fantastic goal keeping skills and Reiss was very calm in defence and showed great control in the game. Evie-Mae was our player of the tournament for some brilliant tackles and for really throwing herself into every game. 

We found some fantastic natural objects today when we did our Autumn Scavenger Hunt! We finished off the afternoon by making some delicious pizza wraps.

Year 3 compared the religious festivals that are celebrated during Autumn, they noticed the festivals all involved light.

Diwali the festival of light, Hanakkah and advent.

Which festivals do you celebrate?

Year 6 loved playing on blooket today. It is an interactive quiz to test any subject. We used it today to refresh our knowledge about our history topic on the British monarchs. Our winner today was Nathan well done. 

This half term our science topic has been light and shadow. We have explored reflection, made light mazes and periscopes and investigated shadows for a puppet show.

What a fun topic!

Today the KS2 Reading Ambassadors met together for their training with Cassie from and Joy from Tameside Libraries. They have ideas ready to set a whole school reading challenge.

Thank you for your ideas- what a great team! 

Again the year 6 class have impressed us with their talks about how they are unique. Today we had gymnastics, aerial hooping and swimming amongst other talents.

Thank you for sharing.
