This half term, our topic in Year 4 is 'Where does water come from?' where we will be learning all about mountains, rivers and the water cycle.

Please see the attached topic web for more information about what your child will be learning this half term.

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 basketball teams who competed in a tournament against other schools in Tameside just before the holidays. Both teams showed fantastic awareness of themselves and their opposition and worked well to move the ball around the court. They persevered with their shooting skills and managed to successfully score points on many occasions by the end of the tournament. Well done everyone! 

Congratulations to Year 4's Easter egg competition winners! It was so hard for the judges to choose. Well done to everyone that took part!

Year 4 had lots of fun applying their scientific learning about electricity to design and create a working lighthouse. 

A sponsored walk for Diabetes UK, raising £1242 and our very own football stars.

Some amazing achievements!

 We are very proud of you all.

Next half term we will be exploring what life was like living in the Tudor dynasty. We will research different Tudor monarchs and how they are remembered. We will create Tudor motifs in art. Please see the attached topic information and home learning grid for activities to complete over the next half term.

Please note we will have a Tudor Experience Day on Friday 1st May where we will have a fun-filled day exploring Tudor life. Children may choose to dress up or bring in an home made prop/artefact. 

Year 6 received a poetry book and a certificate for their participation in Glyes Brandreth's Poetry Together workshop. 

Reception have loved learning all about Easter and the Easter story. We have made some eggcellent Easter cards, sampled hot cross buns, made Easter nests and we all looked fabulous in our Easter bonnets. Well done to our competition winners.

As part of our Amazing Africa topic Holmes Chapel Zoo came in to see us. They told us some fascinating facts about all the animals and the children loved getting up close and having a feel (if they were brave enough). 

Year 5 did their climate change assembly and what a fantastic presentation it was. We are all very proud and it was a powerful message shared with the school.
