Year 3 compared the religious festivals that are celebrated during Autumn, they noticed the festivals all involved light.

Diwali the festival of light, Hanakkah and advent.

Which festivals do you celebrate?

Year 6 loved playing on blooket today. It is an interactive quiz to test any subject. We used it today to refresh our knowledge about our history topic on the British monarchs. Our winner today was Nathan well done. 

This half term our science topic has been light and shadow. We have explored reflection, made light mazes and periscopes and investigated shadows for a puppet show.

What a fun topic!

Today the KS2 Reading Ambassadors met together for their training with Cassie from and Joy from Tameside Libraries. They have ideas ready to set a whole school reading challenge.

Thank you for your ideas- what a great team! 

Again the year 6 class have impressed us with their talks about how they are unique. Today we had gymnastics, aerial hooping and swimming amongst other talents.

Thank you for sharing. 

It was the boys football team's turn to play tonight where they had a game against St John's CE Primary School with a last minute goal by St John's in the final minute resulting in a final score of 2-3. There was some fantastic goalkeeping with a penalty saved and lots of great shots on target at the goal. Our defensive players really improved upon our last match holding their space better and working as a team. Well done boys, you did our school proud!

To finish our Roman topic off, Year 4 have been answering the question- how did the Romans change Britain? They have been fascinated by all the things we use today that the Romans introduced. Their research has led them to find out about the Romans introducing language, money, religion, stone buildings, straight roads, central heating and much more. They are definitely gearing themselves up for our Roman quiz tomorrow. Well done Year 4. 

Week beginning the 4th October is national space week. The school immersed themselves in learning about space. They have been fascinated about our solar system, the planets, the moons, space travel, astronauts and other galaxies. Year 2 even went to Jodrell Bank as a trip. Look at how fantastic the schools' display looks. 

The whole school have been studying important black historical figures. The children have worked hard to learn and perform poems, find out about segregation and the American civil rights movement, to learn about inspirational figures and their fight for equality, freedom and reduce racism. We all hope in the future for an equal society, where regardless of the colour of our skin, we are treated fairly and with respect.
