Year One have been learning all about autumn. We have watched a video that showed all of the wonderful things that happen during this season and discussed how the weather will begin to change as we move into winter. After lots of disucssion about the signs of autumn, we decided to go on an autumn walk. We went onto the field and looked around our environment to find any signs of autumn and discovered that the leaves had changed colour and lots had fallen from the trees. We went to find an autumn leaf and brought it back to the classroom.

This half term, we learning about A Night on Bare Mountain composed by Modest Mussorgsky off the film Fantasia.

We have also been exploring coordinating conjuntions and using these in our writing to create a spooky story setting. In Topic, we have begun researching facts about Modest Mussorgsky and have been expressing how the music makes us feel through mod art.

The newly appointed Pupil Leadership team set about their first task last week - to choose a Science Certficate which wll be awarded in future Merit Assemblies.  This was suggested at the end of the last school year when the puil leaders put the idea forward to Ms Thornton Jones.  The team are looking forward to working together in future, helping to ensure that pupils have a voice in some of the decisions made in school. 

Year 4 just love any sort of challenge!  They were asked to create a piece of artwork to be displayed at St. Michael and All Angels Chuch in Ashton on their Poppy Wall, to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.   Year 4 decided to use recyclable materials in the form of red and black plastic bags!   They enjoyed making their creation and the result was absolutely brilliant!  The Royal British Legion will be holding a service on Sunday 4th November at 1:30 as a thank you for the dedication of the Poppy Wall.  Mrs Blomeley
