Cricket Finals

Huge congratulations to our KS2 pupils for achieving 2nd place in the Cheshire cricket finals. They were outstanding under coach Noah. Some superb bowling, many 6s were hit and great team work supporting each other. They do progress to further tournaments in Cheshire and represent Tameside. We couldn't be prouder. Man of the Tournament was Harry - we normally don't allow him to hit so hard in school as he loses our tennis balls. Today we let him loose and he nearly hit the windows of houses surrounding the ground. Very impressive. Well done. 


Polish - Names of food

Year 5 have been listening to The Hungry Caterpillar in Polish and are learning the names of the fruits and food mentioned in the story. They have used Polish dictionaries to help them match the words to the pictures, 


Celebrating National Teams

To celebrate the World Cup 2026 and the pride of our national teams, we are allowing our pupils to wear national tops all the way through the tournament. We just love the diversity we have and it is important to celebrate that, whether they are in the World Cup or not. 


Movement in English

The class enjoyed incorporating movement into their learning! They had to pick a movement that matched the correct answer. 


Forest school

Another fantastic day for forest school, where the class played games, roasted marshmallows and made wax sticks. 


Electrical conductivity

Year 5 investigated whether materials were electrical conductors or insulators and evaluated the precision of their results. It was a brilliant experiment!


Long multiplication and short division

Year 5 revised long multiplication and short division by taking charge of their own learning; they used dice to generate numbers and a calculator to check their answers. Some children coached a less-confident pupil to help with their understanding - we need to rememeber to add in place holders! 


Tennis

We had to have our tennis lesson in the hall but we managed to practise throwing the ball so it landed past the 'net' line and we practised rallying with hand tennis. Some of the rallies were impressive!
