Year 6 Achievements

A huge well done to our year 6s and their achievements this year. I am a very proud Headteacher and know there has been a great amount of work put in everyday. Keep shining year 6! 


What is the area of our playground?

To continue with our micro:bit playground survey, today we coded the micro:bits to calculate the average step distance multiplied by the number of steps to work out the area of different parts of our playground. We will then add all of these compound areas together to give us a combined area in squared meters. The children are really enjoying their coding.


Olympic assembly

Today we watched an assembly about the upcoming olympics with guest speaker paralympian Stef Reid who is a professional long jumper. We watched a clip of how incredible she is at jumping wearing her blade because her foot was amputated as a child. She was very inspiring and I think the class are looking forward to watching the olympics over the summer.

Well done to Ruby, Lucy and Sam for winning a Merit today for being a volunteer leader during history yesterday. They each led groups confidently to explore Mayan life.

Well done Macy and Luca for winning the Good to be Green Award today.

Holly is our final year 6 winner for the Handwriting Award this term.

Congratulations to all of our Headteacher Award winners- this is a great achievment. 


What was life like in Ancient Mayan times?

We worked around a carousel of activities to explore a different aspect of Mayan life today. We looked at Mayan hieroglyphs and created our own logograms. We investigated the Mayan number system to decode different numbers. Finally we created our own complex Mayan calendars and used them to find our 'Mayan' date of births. Thank you to my volunteer leaders Ruby, Sam and Lucy.


Biodiversity counters using micro:bits

Continuing with our micro:bit survey that we are taking part in, today we coded the micro:bits to help us count the number of different species of animals and plants in our school environment. The code was quite tricky but the children were quick to pick it up and then enjoyed exploring the school grounds looking for different types of life. 


Rounders final

Our Year 5 and 6 rounders team took part in the rounders final tonight for the 7 best primary schools in Tameside. They have really improved their communication skills in their fielding and managed to get lots of players out. You did Broadbent Fold proud, great job everyone!
