Year 6 MTP Autumn 2

I do hope you've all had a fabulous October holiday, and the children are raring to get cracking for our second term in Year 6. The children have been working ever so hard in their first term, and I hope they're buzzing to get started on our topic: What did the Windrush scandal teach us? In Geography, they will be researching the HMS Windrush; we will be linking this knowledge closely to our writing skills and delving into learning about trade in Geography.


Black History Month

What a fabulous month this has been, celebrating all the achievements of black people throughout history. We've had a visit from Agnes, our diversity governor, celebrated famous people in assembly and created work about a key significant person in history. Look at how well the classes have done and displayed their work in the KS2 area. 


Awards time!

Congratulations to our fabulous year 6 pupils for getting the headteacher and good to be green awards. You are setting a great example with your kindness and enthusiasm for work!


Tag Rugby Finals

A huge well done to our tag rugby team who represented our school in the Tameside finals tonight. They showed great sportsmanship throughout and worked together to score lots of tries. Great work everyone! 


Black History Month Celebrations

Our Community Governor Agnes visited Year 6 and shared folktales of the Asante people of Ghana: stories about Kwaku Ananse. The children were exceptionally well behaved and loved the stories about Anansethe spider. A massive thank you to Agnes for giving up her time and preparing sessions to immerse the class in folktales. 


A book from the Queen!

Queen Camilla has announced that she will celebrate her 79th birthday by giving away books to children across the UK.

Camilla has made children’s literacy one of her key issues and is patron of the National Literacy Trust.

Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that she had arranged for a special edition of Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell to be given to every year 6 this Christmas.
