This morning Zoe Ball's breakfast radio mentioned our school and our 500 words winners.
I will get the radio show up for the children to listen to, but you can get it on catch-up on the link below.
We are mentioned around 13 mintes 50 seconds.
How exciting!
Congratulations to our official storywriters of the 500 words competition 2020. We are exceptionally proud of all of you all. Well done
I would just like to say a huge thank you to our year 6 pupils and families for attending our knife crime talk this morning. I am very proud of you all for listening to some hard-hitting information.
My job as a headteacher is to get pupils prepared for the wide world. I am sure this workshop will be remembered and it will keep them safe.

Today Year 6 were joined by artist Sarah Hicks. We created some fantastic artwork based on our class text Skellig. We did some printing of feathers and images of Skellig. We then mde some sculpture out of clay using a wire skeleton base first. We had a fun-filled day and it was lovely to see so much creativity from the children. I will post some pictures of the sculptures when they are complete.
A fantastic match this evening against Waterloo with Broadbent Fold winning the game 15-1. Well done to all that played in very muddy conditions.

Last week, the whole school took part in the Challenge Me Hula Hooping event. EYFS had to hula hoop for 2 minutes, KS1 for 4 minutes and KS2 for 6 minutes without stopping! This was to try to improve our stamina. We had lots of fun and all got stickers for taking part.

We were delighted to be asked to work with sculptor Michael Condron again! Michael last worked with some of our pupils back in 2016 when he was commissioned to create a sculpture for the new Ashton Interchange, which is now nearing completion. On Friday, pupils from Key Stage 2 created some designs based on 'Journeys' to be included in the final artwork. Twelve children drew their designs before scratching them onto plaster disks.
