Marvellous Music

The children had a treat today in music when Mrs O'Leary brought her accordion into school. She used it to accompany the children when they were playing , This Old Man. They are becoming really quite proficient and it sounded wonderful with the accordion's accompaniment.


Reading Ambassador Book Reviews

Well done to our Reading Ambassadors who have all created a book review to display in out KS2 Library. They were asked to make a book review by Tameside Libraries to promote reading across the school. These will be shared on the Tameside Library social media accounts. 

Can you make a book review for our library? Tell us why you like the book, what it is about, who else will enjoy it and give it a star rating out of 5. 


Year 4 Detectives

Year 4 turned into super detectives this afternoon in search of the truth behind the disappearances of boats and planes in The Bermuda Triangle. They were engrossed with the clues and were able to match up clues and theories to try and explain the crashes. What a great detecting afternoon.


What a Mystery?

Year 4 opened a case file on the Missing Lighthouse Men from the Flannan Isles. They have been trying to solve the mystery by hunting out clues and reading evidence files from 123 years ago. I'm really looking forward to how they use these skills when we start to look at Scottish Myths and start our class text, The Secret Lake. 


Sports Quiz Winners

Last half term, pupils in KS2 took part in a sports quiz against other primary schools in Tameside. They worked in teams of 4 and aimed to get as many points as possible. A team of pupils in Year 6 called Xmas Sports won first place with a score of 62 points - 2 points clear of the runners up. We also had a team from Year 3 finishing 10th with 43 points, another team from Year 6 finishing 12th with 40 points and a team called 'The Goats' finishing in 13th with 39 points. Well done to everyone who took part!


New Year in Year 4

Dear All,

I do hope you've all had a fabulous Christmas holiday, and the children are raring for the new term in Year 4. This half term starts off with our Mysteries Topic. The children will be inspired by our Secret Lake class text and be investigating about Scottish Myths, The Loch Ness Monster, Bermuda Triangle and the Flannan Isles. This learning will be enhanced by our science topic of Electricity and an electrical coding workshop on the 22nd January.  Inspiring, home learning projects of a mystery cake design will really put their creative mind to the test as well. 


End of Term Fun in Y4

Year 4 have worked so hard that they got a treat of their face painted whilst watching a Christmas movie. I do hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and I look forward to seeing you all in January 2024.
