Our lovely planter

The planter was kindly donated to school by Stalybridge Women's Institute and Mrs Holt came to visit school to see how the flowers in the planter were developing. Mrs Holt was very happy that the Ecoleaders have been looking after planter so well and have planted new bulbs and bedding plants. The Ecoleaders also showed Mrs Holt our vegetable garden and the crocuses flowers that we had planted in the winter. Mrs Holt showed us a bird's nest that she had found in her garden.

Spooky settings

, , , , , , , , , ,

Today some of year 6 worked in pairs to focus on creating a story setting full of suspense. They have used figurative language to make their writing full of atmosphere. Can you spot any personification? Can you see similes and metaphors? Can you find any hyperbole or symbolism?

These are all incredible- well done Year 6!

All children can access Ebooks and Audio books for free using their Tameside Library membership card using Borrow Box. Please see eReading - Tameside MBC for more information.
