Year 4 have been working really hard at understanding numbers and their place value. Today, they had the opportunity to compare 5 digit numbers using the place value discs and place value dice. 

Year 5 were fortunate to welcome a humanist speaker into the class today!  Kevin explained how his philosophy was to treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves.  We watched a video about animals helping each other by instinct, which provoked some very interesting debates!  Year 5 asked some sensible and thoughtful questions and Kevin was extremely impressed with their behaviour and their enquiring minds!  Thank you to Mrs Slate, our RE Leader, for organising our visitor!  Mrs Blomeley

We had a very interesting visit today from a humanist. We found out that humanism is a way of living that encourages humans to show love and care for other humans. We learned a lot and the class had some very interesting questions to ask.

I am very excited to work with our new KS2 Reading Ambassadors. They will help me run competitions and challenges over the year to encourage reading for pleasure. 

They have already been set their first challnege...to make a poster about reading to be displayed in our school library and on the Tameside Library Twitter (now X) feed.

I am very excited to work with them all this year. 

Our Wellbeing Leaders met our Mental Health Practitioner today. They shared all the good work they do to support our pupils with wellbeing.
