Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break! Our topic for Summer 1 is “Hot or Cold?”. We will be learning all about the North Pole, South Pole and the Equator, identifying where these are on a globe and comparing the key features of hot and cold places. We will also be going on an exciting trip to Imagine That, where the children will take part in lots of fun, hands-on activities. They will explore the art area to get creative, enjoy the water play zone, and investigate in the science area with experiments and discovery.

Here is the home learning menu for this half term linked to our topic 'Where does water come from?'

I cannot wait to see all the exciting things you do!

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.

 We are very proud of you all.
