One of Year 5's writing tasks, based on their class text, Kensuke's Kingdom, was to write and perform a Play Script. These were written as a television appeal for a missing person. Their scripts were brilliant and they worked hard in their groups to perfect their plays. Their acting skills were fantastic - we clearly have some budding actors and actresses in this class!

As part of their topic “Would you be brave enough to sail around the world?” Year 5’s Creative Homework task was to design and make their own desert island! Here are some of the islands which are all amazing! They were made from different materials and we even had many that were constructed from Lego! The children all enjoyed designing, making and presenting their creations to the class; some were on display for a while in our Reception area! Well done everyone! Mrs Blomeley

We had a lovely afternoon at the Cheshire cricket finals on Wednesday and we came 3rd overall beating Godley in round 1 and losing a very close game against Arlies. We then won our friendly against Lyndhurst before we played St Mary's Dukinfield in the play off for 3rd place in another very close game. Everyone showed brilliant batting and fielding skills with lots of 6s scored, catches and lots of bowling to hit the wickets. Well done everyone!
