Year 6 have enjoyed their story time this week with Mrs Laitl and Miss Lewis. Mrs Laitl read 'Głodna gąsienica' 'The Hungry Caterpillar' in Polish. It was lovely to see the children recognising some of the language like days of the week and vegetables. Miss Lewis entertained us with one of her favourite stories 'The Wonky Donkey.'

Year 6 enjoyed the Footy & Book Quiz that we took part in today as part of our World Book Day celebrations. 3 teams came joint first with a score of 17/20!

Today in computing, the children created a sequence of instructions (an algorithm) to draw a shape of a numeral e.g. 3. Firstly, we discussed what an algorithm is (an instruction / set of rules) for performing a task. The children created the algorithms in pairs or small groups using the Bee-bots to navigate their route, tracing the shape of the numeral. The children successfully worked out the algorithms for the numbers: 0, 1, 7, 5, 2 and 6.

Year 3 enjoyed sharing their favourite books with their friends today. 

This morning we have been sharing our favourite stories to celebrate World Book Day. We are looking forward to dressing up tomorrow!

Year 3 have become authors and publishers! They have neatly copied their poems using handwriting pen. Pictures have been beautifully added and children have even added their own blurbs. Children now have their own poetry book which they are very proud of. Their poetry books are in the Year 3 reading corner for everyone to enjoy.

Year 2 have really enjoyed sharing their books with one another to celebrate World Book Day. 

Mrs Anson reading a chapter from The Far Away Tree by Enid Blyton to Year 5 as part of our World Book Day celebrations. We chose the chapter The Land of Goodies where the houses were made of gingerbread and the fences were made of marshmallows! All of the children would definitely like to visit The Land of Goodies!

Year 3 listened to an online zoom session with the author Charlotte Guillain who wrote 'The Street Beneath My Feet' a book we have enjoyed reading in our class.

In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign.  Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow.  Fabulous job everyone!  Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.
