Year 5 and 6 joined together after lunch to welcome our visitor, Anthony, who discussed the importance of Maths in his electrical business.  As well as learning about the main sources of electricity in the world, the children had to identify some unfamiliar objects and explain their relevance to electricity.  Anthony was extremely impressed by their knowledge and thoughtful questions and answers.  It is always good to hear about how people use Maths in their careers!  The children were brilliant hosts!  Thank you Anthony for taking the time to visit us - we all really enjoyed your workshop!

Congratulations to our Year 5 and 6's who represented school in the basketball heats tonight. Our Year 6's went unbeaten and progress to the Tameside finals next week! Our Year 5's showed great teamwork and determination winning one game, losing one game and drawing one game. Well done to everyone that took part!

World Maths Day Mathletics challenge. Who will be the Key Stage One winner?

As part of our World Maths Day, Year 5 and Year 6 had the pleasure of a visit from Anthony Grace who is an electrician. It was fabulous to find out about how an electrician uses maths and what his job entails. 

Children really enjoyed completing their own art work based on Paul Klee.

Year 6 were amazing on our trip to Rayner. They thoroughly enjoyed the secondary school experience even if the heart dissection made a few of them feel sick. Great job Year 6. 

Children have enjoyed being outside in their maths today, measuring the lengths of objects.
