We want girls to play football!
It’s time to take a stand, to make a difference.
Girls are an unstoppable force for good if they’re given the chance. The chance to play football.
They want to play in the school curriculum, at breaktime, after school, at local clubs – wherever, whenever they want. No barriers, no stereotypes. Let Girls Play.

The Reading Ambassadors met with me today to choose winners of our 'top hat' design competition. This was very difficult because the standard was so high throughout school. Our winning top hats have been displayed in the KS2 Library.
Our winners are Nursery- Zachary, Reception- Vanessa, Y1- Tobias, Y2- Noah, Y3- Chloe, Y4- Ted, Y5- Oliver and Y6- Mia.
Thank you to everybody who entered the competition.
Soon we will be taking part in British Science Week and we have lots of fun learning opportunities planned throughout school. The theme this year is 'connections.'
What do you know about connections in science? How are body parts connected? How is the world built on connections? How are all animals connected? How is the solar system connected to the sun? Is there someone you have connected with who has inspired or helped you? This could be a famous scientist!
Thank you to our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians for their help during World Book Day. They received a certificate in assembly today :)
We will meet next week to look at the top hat designs and choose our winners...

Today our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians worked together to organise and put on a book quiz at lunchtimes for the school. They helped the children work out emoji clues to guess the fairytale, nursery rhyme or children's book. The children have worked so hard on identifying books and we are really impressed with their efforts and how many books they could recognise.
Thank you so much to our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians :)

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.

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.
Well done to our reading champion from last half term and to our runners up XW and AT. Keep up the fabulous home reading everyone!

Today in Science, the children were given a number of seeds and bulbs on their table and were asked to have a look at them and discuss what they notice about them. The children then completed a matching activity where they had to match the different seeds with the plants. The children learnt a lot of new names of seeds and plants. Why not quiz them and find out about their fantastic knowledge?
