Aviva Studios with Year 6

Year 6 have arrived at Aviva Studios for our  Poetry in the Community project led by Gyles Brandreth. We're looking forward to our day. The children have had an amazing day working with Matt Goodfellow and Dom Conlon. 


Young Ambassadors

Our Young Ambassadors completed their training tonight and came up with lots of ideas for how to promote sport and physical activity in our school. We cannot wait to see what they do! They also enjoyed meeting Andy Robertson, a GB sprinter, and learning about how he was a Young Ambassador when he was younger. 


Reading Ambassadors Meeting

Today the Reading Ambassadors had their first meeting with Lisa from Tameside Libraries. They joined in on Zoom with other Reading Ambassadors in Tameside. They looked at the work produced in our library club this term.

Our next mission is to encourage children to make a Book Review. 


Lest We Forget in Year 6

Year 6 were very respectful during our 2 minutes silence for Remembrance Day at 11:00 am. They used their emotions to create a wonderful poignant poppy display later in the day. 


Lest We Forget

Our amazing year 6s met at Dukinfield Cenotaph yesterday with our govenror Mr Moon to lay a wreath on behalf of our community. What excellent role models we have. 


Magistrates in Y6

Sean Bostock from Greater Manchester Magistrates visited Year 6 today to explain his role within the community. The children were so enthused by the visit and really enjoyed finding out about how Sean works for the community. 


Black History in Year 6

Agnes (our Diversity Governor) came into Year 6 today to share the journey of chocolate from the plantations to the supermarket. The children were very enthused to learn about the lives of plantation children and had some very inciteful questions. 


Fire Safety in Year 6

Today, the Year 6 had a fabulous visit from the Fire Brigade. They learnt about how to keep themselves safe at this time of year with fire works, Halloween and the consequences of anti social behaviour. This work was a fabulous follow up from the Safe Squad visit in October in supporting the children keeping themselves safe and  making sensible decisions as they are growing up. 


Autumn 2 Year 6

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. This half term will continue to immerse the children in the expectations of Year 6. I will be explicit in how we can raise standards to ensure the children know what they need to do this year to be secondary school ready. These standards will be interwoven into our work in our second topic of the year- Did we come from apes?
